WirtschaftsWoche - Who will plug the Brexit billion hole?

As Brexit will leave a big gap in the EU-budget, Director of the Jacques Delors Centre Lucas Guttenberg speaks about his concerns in the WirtschaftsWoche on October 24, 2019 (in German). 

The withdrawal of the British will leave a gap of billions in the EU budget, but the German government is still defending itself against rising contributions. Should Germany therefore pay more? And if so, what will the money be spent on? Experts are pushing for greater support in fields such as digital transformation and innovation. Lucas Guttenberg, on the other hand, is more concerned that "states are primarily interested in the ability to plan their net balances", as stated in the WirtschaftsWoche.
