of why transferring profits is a problem or exploitative.
Because of the EU system. I keep telling you and you just don't get it.
Poland gets those money from the EU everybody is talking about. About 20-30% of those money are Polish money(Poland send some money to the EU).
Those EU money have a string attached - they need to be spend on specific things the EU need to aprove. That is not all - they say you need this money to build this - OK but you need to use - brick, machine or whatever according to this specification.
As it happence such a brick, machine or whatever a German handy firm has ready, just hire them and all is nice.
Aha and for every EU financed 'thing' Poland need to add 50% of the cost of that project. Often that Polish 50% are money borrowed in a German bank but not it is not must.
Now - exploitation part - just rough calculations - Poland gets from the EU about 15 mld Euro ( forget that 20% of that sum came from Poland anyway) 70% of that sum go back to Germany 10mld euro, the other half of any project another 10 mld euro - they get 20 mld euro a year just from Poland's use of the EU founds.
Poland gets about 5 mld euro a year and a new road. Good deal.
And usually it are polish firms who undercut german firms..
Oh really? Give back 20 mld euro for the last 17 years and we can talk.
