<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The UK’s departure will leave an annual shortfall of EUR12billion in theEU budget, which will have to be made up by payments from the remaining 27Member States. The media have reported that an agreement was reached at a meeting on the EU’s cohesion policy with the representatives of eight Eastern European Member States that, in the future, these countries will pay ‘1.1% or perhaps even 1.2%’ of their proportional GDP. Until now, they have been paying 1%. These details of the agreement have been denied by the Croatian Ministry of Regional Development.
