Whoever told you that is important? You contribution amounted to 12,000 mln/ 68 mln inhabitants = approx. 176 per inhabitant. For the EU (with 445 mln inhabitants) your contribution is 27 € / inhabitant. In other words, the UK contributed peanuts.

However, the EU is intended to keep states from armed war by having them trading. Which is sort of a war, in its own way.
When referring to the UK trade deficit, you are in fact saying you lost that trade war big time

Yeah, it must be the fumes from the wacky backy shop nearby that causes it.

You're already really missing those peanuts.
Tell us how the EU's budget planning for the forthcoming period is going, please?

Oh - you can't because basically it isn't.
None of you can agree on how much to pay.
Those peanuts obviously mattered quite a lot.

Once they become a full EU member they can insist upon using somebody else's seas.
Apparently.

Good luck with that one, with Norway we control just about everything. Zonal attachment will be the only way to fish our waters, Norway, Canadas, Icelands and the USA. The CFP is a policy that controls 6 miles off the cost of mainland Europe where there's no fish anyway

This is a good deal. This is a strong deal. And most importantly, this is the right deal for Europe, right now. This agreement sends a concrete signal that the EU is a force for action.

Indeed - and things have moved on since then.
Not in a good way (for the EU) either.

European Parliament budget negotiators walked out because (surprise) the Council didn't seem to want to reach an agreement (does that sound familiar?) .
Germany tried dangling a carrot in vain hopes that a bit of dosh would do the trick - and Poland reacted by saying it would veto the budget because they were being blackmailed into agreement!

This is for a budget due to cover the period 2021 to 2027, so starting within mere months, remember.
The UK leaving the EU is already having a major negative impact for the EU.

You should recognise such a text. Brexiters have been producing them for five years.
