歐盟要求英國爲退歐先付1000億歐元

The EU has raised its demand for Britain’s Brexit bill to an upfront gross payment of up to100bn, according to Financial Times analysis of new demands driven by France and Germany.

根據英國《金融時報》對法國和德國推動提出的新要求的分析，歐盟(EU)已將英國退歐的先期付款要求提高到至多1000億歐元。

Following requests from member states, EU negotiators have revised their initial calculations to maximise the liabilities Britain is asked to cover, including post-Brexit farm payments and EU administration fees in 2019 and 2020.

在歐盟成員國提出要求後，歐盟談判代表修改了最初的計算結果，將英國被要求承擔的支付責任最大化，包括英國退歐後的農業付款以及2019年和2020年的歐盟行政管理費。

Although the final net bill would be lower than the 100bn upfront settlement, the more stringent approach to UK obligations significantly raises the estimated 60bn charge mentioned by Jean-Claude Juncker, European Commission president. It also reflects the hardening position of many EU members, which have dropped reservations about the political risks of the bill to pile on demands to help plug a Brexit-related hole in the bloc’s common budget.

儘管最終的淨賬單將低於1000億歐元的先期付款安排，但對英國支付義務採取的更爲嚴厲的態度，將顯著增加歐盟委員會(European Commission)主席讓-克洛德?容克(Jean-Claude Juncker)提到的600億歐元支付估算。這還反映出很多歐盟成員國的立場變得強硬起來，它們放棄了對於英國退歐賬單所含政治風險的保留意見，提出包羅萬象的要求，以幫助填補歐盟共同預算中與英國退歐相關的缺口。
