Austria is a net contributor to the EU, contributing 30% more than it receives (very roughly contributes 3 billion and receives 2).

Now I am sure that Austria has benefited from EU membership, but this is not one of the areas.

As an Austrian, the benefit is that the funding decision didn't get made at the Austrian level.

The funds are less useful if they're in the hands of our government.
