it's not going to be paid at once, it'll be done in instalments as payments fall due. This means it's impossible to calculate how much it will come to, as Britain will be paying in pounds a bill written out in euros; everything then depends on the exchange rate on the day. If sterling's slide continues, the cost gets higher.
The FT suggests that, in effect, nobody will know the final sum until the last EU pensioner is dead.

If nations that were formally in th e EU are expected to continue contributing to pensions, does that mean that any new joiner nations are inevitably exempt from having to pay ?
One other way we might know the final bill would be to wait until the whole edifice collapses and there is no EU to pay grand pensions.

depends on the details of the pension arrangement, OG, but I would imagine members pay pensions to those who qualify during their membership but not before or after (I assume new members would sign up to the same deal as Britain did). But that's just a guess.
However, I apologise for leaving out a significant word - it's the pensions of EU officials, not just everyone living in the EU.

It just unbelievably contrasts with the rest of us. When an employee and employer part company neither carry on paying into the pension scheme that was active when they were together. It is frozen as is and the employee looks for a further scheme. But here... whether it was a con when drawn up, or a con now there's someone leaving, it's still a con.
I have never had an issue with paying Pensions for OUR MEP's. I do have a problem with paying for Junkers. Money we have paid in already should have been set aside for his tenure to date so why should we pay going forward? And that seems to be what is happening.
The figure appears to be 100bn EUR gross netted to circa 50bn, although this figure is paid over a number of years.
Personally I would go with Pritti and tel the EU to "Sod off". There is still hope in that the Irish will veto anything but I suspect the EU will lean on them now they have the brass in their greasy palms.
