The figures released today are based on these numbers - they are calculated on the basis of a review of the economic performance and pace of growth of member states since 1995 - more accurate methods of calculating economic performance were introduced, and the readjusted calculations have been made on the basis of these.
One could even argue that countries whose growth has been significantly revised upwards had previously been underpaying when it came to EU contributions.
Did the member states know and agree to this?
Yes.
Member states are in agreement with how contributions are calculated using GNI. And, critically for this specific case argued in favour of the statistical revisions to how economic performance is calculated - for obvious reasons - these, it is worth remembering, have allowed many countries to show better than previously thought economic growth and, in some cases, a smaller debt relative to GDP.
How the bills will be paid in December remains unknown, but despite this morning’s surprised faces and bullish remarks, it is highly unlikely that member states did not know, or did not anticipate, these figures. The calculations are even based on data provided by member state governments themselves, which Eurostat, the EU’s statistical institution, then verifies.
It is likely that independently of instalments and cosmetics, Britain (and others) will need to to pay their amounts (short of choosing to leave the EU, or convincing France, Germany and others to forego their payments).
The communications, timing and politics of a billion euro bill to cover in a few weeks is of course something else, but these are the numbers.
