When a new member joins the EU, does it get a rebate on commitments made before it joined but which are being spent while it is a member? The answer is no so it can't be logical that you have to go on contributing for expenditure that won't be made until long after you leave. Not to mention the fact that there is no legal basis for any payment post March 2019.

Plus the EU refuses to recognise the UK's share of the assets it holds. Again that is illogical if they are insisting that the UK has to bear a share of the liabilities.
