Fines not fine!

Why should Britain be expected to pay the European Commission over £300m in fines for Defra's failure to pay English farmers their subsidies on time?

France escaped paying any fines for it's illegal three year ban on British beef whilst both France and Germany escaped fines for ignoring the Growth and Stability Pact and running deficits of over 3%.

Should the Defra payment be used to compensate British farmers for the beef ban instead!?!
