Conclusion
As for the UK Government position, we note that Ministers have not explicitly ruled out making a financial contribution to the economic development of the EU’s lower-income Member States in a manner similar to Norway and Switzerland. Irrespective of the arguments around the principle of such a contribution’ to the EU, it is essential that Ministers conduct these negotiations transparently. (Conclusion, Paragraph 129)
