EU budget with Greek traits

The EU Commission has proposed a budget of 1.13 percent of the EU's gross domestic product (GDP) for the new community budget from 2014 to 2020. This is too high and shows that Brussels is moving towards a "Greekisation" of the Union, the conservative daily Dziennik Gazeta Prawna admonishes: "So the richest states of Europe earn considerably more thanks to the new sales potential [in the EU] and then distribute the money to Greece, Portugal, Spain, Poland and Bulgaria so that they can spend it on more German and French products. Well, like all systems of this nature this one too has broken down. That in itself is not surprising. What is surprising is that we're already working on the second crisis before we've weathered the first. ... Those of us who can count know that at some point the bubble will burst."
