Majority of the EU budget spent in the member states
Every member state contributes to the EU budget. The largest contribution is based on the member state's Gross National Income. Subsequently, about 90% of the EU budget is spent in the member states, chiefly in the form of agricultural grants and structural funds. Together with the European Commission, the member states are responsible for the management and control of these funds. Read more about EU budget accountability in the member states.
