7. Structural & Cohesion Funds How much do the net contributors to Poland’s EU structural and cohesion funds see of the money? For every €1 that Austria contributes to Poland via Brussels, it sees €0.93 back in terms of contracts won by Austrian companies competing for EU-funded tenders. Germany sees back €0.64. Denmark €0.43, Sweden €0.41. The UK? A mere €0.13! The UK taxpayer is paying to build Poland’s new infrastructure, but UK businesses are not benefiting from the opportunities!
