"The fines therefore help to finance the EU and reduce the burden for taxpayers."

reduce burden for taxpayers... yeah. how? i don't see my taxes dropping because ppl get fined >.> even if the amount of fines would raise consistently by 1000% still i would pay the same taxes, guarantee you that.




If you made the case that everything they said about where the fines go instead of budget is wrong, sure you would be correct. I would expect you to put forward an argument with a bit more substance than "taxes will never go down, I guarantee it" in that case, however.

What were your tax contributions to the EU last year compared with the year before?
