31/03/2009 (Agence Europe) - With regard to the correcting budget No 3 (EUROPE 9872), Germany's 2009 contribution falls from €22.6 billion to €20 billion, and not to €19.6 billion as mistakenly stated. Germany naturally remains the largest contributor to the EU budget, and not France with €19.7 billion. (L.C./transl.jl)
