More about the EU and its activities in Ukraine

The excellent Richard North, co-author with the wondrous Christopher Booker of the indispensable book 'The Great Deception', has kindly drawn my attention to another EU website on Brussels disbursements in Ukraine.

It can be found here

http://ec.europa.eu/budget/fts/index_en.htm

 By calling up 'Ukraine' in the relevant box at the top left, and choosing any year in which you are interested , you can obtain figures which seem to me to be slightly different from the ones supplied to me in the other EU link (skilled website users and arithmetical geniuses are invited to contribute here). 

When you've done that, you may click on 'recipents',  you will find all kinds of groupings listed, concerned with children's rights, bicycling,  political studies, science, space law, citizen journalism, transparency(!) , human rights - plus various impenetrable initials, Ukrainian names which alas I cannot translate, or actual educational institutions. The sums are not vast, but would look generous to most Ukrainians living as they do at far lower levels than Western Europeans.  

What do these payments add up to for the period 2007-2013? It seems to me, at first glance, to be more than the 31 million euros cited in the EU statement, though that covers 2004-2013. Perhaps it's a different method of calculation. I shall pursue.  

 

Referring to the EU's own recommended website,

another correspondent has said to me: 

'Go to Case Studies on the left hand side and you will see just how astonishing the amounts the EU have given to the Ukraine are. Rebuilding schools and nurseries and providing school buses, all helpfully emblazoned with EU stars, paying for doctors and then rebuilding agricultural storage plants    -   it's amazing that any one person could be found to vote against closer partnership with the EU after all that.'
