This is an improvement for Sweden compared to the first bid presented at the summit. According to this, the fee would increase by 10 billion per year.
According to the proposal, Sweden and several other countries will receive a larger discount on the EU fee than before. For Sweden, the discount is proposed to increase to EUR 1,069 million per year, EUR 246 million more than today.
The 45 billion is what remains when the discount is deducted.
As a share of gross national income (GNI), the fee is estimated to be about the same as in the last seven years, just over 0.8 per cent of GNI.
The fact that the fee is still expected to increase in kronor has to do with the fact that GNP increases as the economy grows.
The Riksdag's mandate to the Government prior to the negotiations was that the fee as a share of GNI should not increase.
