The difference is the weird branding issue. It's as though implying 'The EU did this!' when really it was local taxpayers who did, in fact, they've likely overpaid as services will disproportionately go to poor countries.

I think it's fair on some level, but should be commensurate with the activity.

Towns should not be forced to fly an EU flab 'because some fund'.

If a highway in Poland is built with EU funds, then it's very fair to have ample signage indicating that.

Or of the vaccines are paid for by the EU, then the vaccine rollout should make that very clear. That's fair.

That way at least there's legitimacy to it.
