Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7)

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mackinlay (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7).
I want to raise a relatively small matter that has not yet been addressed. Each member state that hosts the presidency currently bankrolls it for the six-month period, which must be extraordinarily expensive. How will the costs now be met not just for the job of the president, but for the additional functions whose costs were hitherto picked up by the host national state?
