So all the assets belong to Brussels they reckon and all the liabilities elsewhere presumably. How unlike the Eurocrats to want to have their cake and eat it. Mind you they'll need plenty of assets to keep that enormous gravy train on the tracks between Brussels and Strasbourg.

Senior EU officials have said that Britain has “no right” to a single penny of the bloc’s assets because the club is a separate legal entity and everything it owns belongs to Brussels, not the member states.

I wonder what all the other member states think about that, especially the net contributors.
