Huh? Spain, Italy and many other countries GET subsidiaries from Brussels, on the expense of Germany (by far biggest netto-payer), Britain, Netherlands and a few others. Guess how the south-European countries improved their infrastructure??

Can you provide any links to sources giving net payments for EU countries. I've read similar things before, but have no references. I've also heard the EU characterized as a French scam to get war reparations from Germany.

Note that the statistic is per capita, so you can imagine that Germany is the biggest net contributor to the EU.
