Is this politics-wg at ripe.net :-)

To be frank, it's impossible to follow the routes money takes around the
European Union but as long as the speaker counts as a citizen of the union,
there is at least some fraction of the money that he/she is paying in taxes.
This specially count for the countries that pay more to the EU than receive
from there, where I think France is one of them. (not discounting others,
like Germany, Finland, Sweden, etc...)
