As an Austrian, the benefit is that the funding decision didn't get made at the Austrian level.

The funds are less useful if they're in the hands of our government.

They do get made at national level. That's because, for example, what to build is decided at national level, then they bid for EU funding as part of financing of the project.

Basically yoy bid to get some of your money back...

Yes - the final decision whether the money gets spent is at the EU level.

Which is much better than at the Austrian politics level.
