"Mr President, the UK is not a particularly rich country. Nevertheless, income per head in the United Kingdom is eight times that in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is a problem: how it will be met is by massive subsidies from the British taxpayer and the other EU taxpayers. In fact, the gravy train of EU subsidies has started already. In the last ten years, Bosnia and Herzegovina – not an EU member, not yet even a candidate – has received EUR 1.6 billion in assorted subsidies. There will be more to pay if it becomes a candidate and much, much more if, in fact, Bosnia and Herzegovina does become a member of the EU. On the evidence of this debate, nobody is properly counting the cost. The idea of Bosnia and Herzegovina being a member of the EU is a complete non-starter, on financial grounds alone, and I urge you all to forget it."@en1
