The two countries that received the most EU money where Ireland and Portugal :
Ireland went from being one of the poorest countries to being the second richest in the EU, despite the recession they are still third.
Portugal who was at the bottom with Ireland doubled their GDP in the 10+ years since joining. Spain profited too but spent too much on megalomaniac projects.
Italy and Greece are just too corrupt to manage any sort of funds.
If some thought the party would last forever and didn't manage to put money aside during the Boom years you can't really blame the Eu for that
