    The EU does not have 800 billion to spend on this, the money will have to come from the contributions of the member states.

      I think what the other commenter meant to say is that you should use the gross contributions.

      If A contributed €80 and took out €100, while B contributed €100 while taking out £80, the net contributions are

      A: -€20 B: +€20

      Now if €90 euros (50% of the current contributions) are to be raised for new spending, it would be strange to assume that all of it will come from B because they are the only ones with positive contributions. If we go by proportionality, it would make more sense to increase contributions to

      A: €120 B: €150
