How much does the European Union cost Britain?

The British Government is handing-over billions of pounds of taxpayers' money to the EU. The combined direct and indirect costs of EU membership costs every man, women and child in Britain over £1,000 per year.

The facts:
● Over-regulation costs Britain at least £26 billion per annum
● The Common Agricultural Policy costs Britain at least £15.6 billion a year
● Britain's accumulated trade deficit with the EU since we joined has risen to £359.5 billion
● In the tax year 2006/'07 membership of the European Union will cost Britain £60.1 billion gross, or £50.6 billion net
