Oh, "my rant" is to your majesties dislike ? Read what the not elected Madame Vestager said about the case and maybe then (I doubt it, but..) you´ll understand what I´m saying. Whilst everybody seems to agree that Germany should pay, because we are fiscally a bit more responsible than at least the club med (AND have the highest taxation WORLDWIDE) the same nice persons dislike us being able to do so.
