Hi!

Thank you for all the comments. This is an interesting thread.
How are you Stu? How's life in your corner [[and outside of the EU) :-). Or do you want to join?
I'll look into your and other answers later today, but first I must state that we are a paying country and have been for over ten years now. I think today it's about 800 million Euros. Financially we used to be among top EU countries still a few years ago [[with AAA ratings, now only AA+), but for me the benefits exceed the sums we pay to the EU budget.
More later...

Best regards
Heikki
