According to a study by the EU, which has been published by the Funke Mediengruppe, Germany will have to increase its contribution to the EU budget by €3.8 billion annually after the UK leaves.
The additional costs will add up to a 16 percent increase in Germany’s annual contribution to EU finances, the report predicts.
“Brexit doesn’t just increase the financial weight on the other 27 EU members; it also changes how the contributions will be divided up,” the report continues.

No big deal, just Raise Taxes and Import more muslim immigrants
The only reason for this is the stupid financial structure of the EU, and not merely due to the U.K. exit.
If the EU was ONLY a total free trade union and not trying to be the new European empire, the Brexit would not be so costly to anyone but the U.K. and that only if the EU members wanted to get protectionist against an independent U.K.
Ha ha ha
I guess it never dawned on them to decrease spending. Sound familiar?
