I didn't think that CB was reliant NI contributions so it shouldn't be that, other than that i have no idea why we have to pay CB to other countries children ,there must be some obscure piece of EU legislation that says we must and presumably that same rule applies to all members ,it's just that other members may choose to ignore it for the idiocy it is .
Question ,are we the only EU country that has CB ?
