Despite a change in political atmosphere, the press continues to publish inaccuracies about the European Union. Another tactic adopted by editors is to publish letters from readers exposing how they have allegedly suffered at the hands of the EU - usually nothing to do with Europe at all.
Most newspapers refuse to publish a factual reply, even in the form of a letter.
With this in mind, we present here some recent examples of errors, together with short explanations of why they are wrong. This is the third of an occasional series which, as in the past will be distributed to ministers, MPs, Whitehall departments, the Press Complaints Commission, other national organisations and newspapers themselves. Overall, the country could lose almost 80 per cent of the sum it gets at present. The UK is forecast to lose two, retain one and gain one Objective 1 area. Since the amount of aid available will remain broadly the same, but concentrated in fewer areas, the UK could easily retain the same amount of money for Objective 1 areas.
