Since joining the EU, Poland has benefited from significant funds from the EU budget. But at the same time, it also contributes to this budget. In this context, the following questions must be asked: What is the size of transfers received in relation to the contributions? What are the prospects for continuing the current proportions between transfers and contributions after 2027, when the current 7-year EU budget (Multiannual Financial Framework - MFF for 2021-2027) ends? For what does Poland expend the EU funds and who benefits from them? This article attempts to answer these questions.
