schema:text	A viral post on Facebook claims the EU has admitted its budget will collapse without UK contributions following Brexit. It’s incorrect. When we asked the European Commission (the body that proposes the budget) their spokesperson said the EU has not said this, and that claims that the EU would collapse because of the financial implications of Brexit were exaggerated. The claim may well originate in a 2017 Express article (which has a similarly worded headline) which reported on the fact that the EU would be left with a financial gap to fill. That’s because the UK is a net contributor to the EU budget, meaning it pays more into the budget than it receives back in the form of things like agricultural subsidies. The European Commission has also previously said that Brexit will leave a “sizeable gap” in its budget. The fact the EU has a budget gap to fill post-Brexit doesn’t mean it will collapse. While the next EU budget for 2021-2027 hasn’t been finalised, draft plans account for the UK leaving. The European Commission said: “The Commission’s proposal takes fair account of the impact of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, through a balanced combination of reductions/redeployments and an increase of expenditure (proportionally roughly 50% each).” A Commission spokesperson told us the provisional deadline to sign off the budget is in autumn this year.

schema:reviewRating	Incorrect. The EU is preparing a draft budget for 2021-2027, involving increased contributions and decreased spending in some areas to account for the UK’s departure.
