Bibliography on the EU budget (Update 2009
THE FINANCES OF THE EUROPEAN
UNION
A bibliographic survey
Update 2009-2014
Library
(Stand: 10 September 2014)
The following is an update of the bibliography « The Finances of the European Union : April 2009 ». As in the previous
editions, this bibliographic survey deliberately does not contain any standard press articles, nor official documents from the
Institutions, which would alone have been sufficient subject matter for a large bibliography. Its aim is primarily to record the
"academic" and "scientific literature", but it also does not neglect the more "partisan" publications, reflecting the positions
of certain political circles or interest groups. The theme of the budget is, in fact, far from being a purely "academic" subject,
and this bibliography also contains some more political contributions.

for coalition-building in the European Union : budget
negotiations and the South ». European Journal of
Political Research, 2011, v. 50, n. 4, June, p. 559-581.
Abstract: "Which parameters affect coalition building in
budgetary negotiations? In this article, three distinct
levels of analysis are identified to account for coalition
building patterns, associated with domestic politics,
domestic socioeconomic structures and EU politics. At
the level of domestic politics, ideology points to crossgovernmental affinity of a partisan nature; at the level of
socioeconomic structures, similarity of policy interests,
generated by cross-national socioeconomic convergence
with EU policy standards, informs coalition formation
patterns; at the EU politics level, the intergovernmental

power balance influences the political aspirations of each
Member State in the integration process and coalitionbuilding decisions. Two sets of parameters affect the
evolution of EU coalition patterns, corresponding to the
integration impact on the EU (new cleavages) and on the
Member States (the impact of Europeanisation). This
analytical framework is used to examine the southern
coalition (Spain, Greece, Portugal) in the four multiannual financial frameworks (1988, 1992, 1999 and
2005)."

"Il riordino degli assetti finanziari dell'Unione, disposta
nell'ambito di un più vasto disegno ispirato dall'esigenza
di rafforzare gli spazi di democraticità delle istituzioni
comunitarie è il tema affrontato dai saggi contenuti nel
presente volume, che approfondiscono e sviluppano le
complesse tematiche della finanza comunitaria,
ricondotte "a sistema" da una lettura dei fenomeni
finanziari sorretta da competenze e sensibilità
europeista. L'approccio proposto è quello della
presentazione didattica non scevra, però, da
approfondimenti e riflessioni che tengono conto delle
esigenze e dei percorsi dell'integrazione europea. In
questa prospettiva, i contributi proposti muovono dalla
consapevolezza che l'Unione europea, in quanto
organizzazione sovranazionale chiamata ad operare
secondo precise responsabilità finanziarie, necessita di
una piena autonomia finanziaria sia sotto il profilo
dell'entrata che della spesa."

CIESLUKOWSKI Maciej. « The European Union general
budget, policy of stabilization and economic crisis ».
Economic Research Guardian, 2012, v. 2, n. 2, p. 225-240.
Abstract: “Since the Lehman Brothers Bank has declared
bankruptcy and launched the world financial crisis, many
governments and international institutions have taken
different actions in order to counteract negative effects
of the crisis. European Union introduced the European
Economic Recovery Plan for the years 2009 and 2010 and
boosted the borrowing and lending operations outside
the general budget. The article tries to assess the role EU
general budget in countering the 2008 crisis. Before the
crises and presently the EU general budget has been a
weak instrument of macroeconomic stabilization policy.
The borrowing and lending operations and EFSF
mechanism play the crucial role in stabilization”.

Abstract: "How, for what and to whom can citizens hold
accountable the expenditure of some €120 billion each
year by the EU budget? This book highlights three main
factors that lie at the root of an accountability gap:
opaque revenue arrangements making citizens unaware
of their contribution, the setting of numerous and grand
objectives whose vague expectations are hard to account
for and, finally, the delegation of the main management
to member state bodies that are not accountable at EU
level. Amidst the on-going review of the EU budget, the
author argues the need to combine a definition of
European added-value based on limited and achievable
objectives with one single accountability framework. This
should follow a political mandate given to the
Commission, which would then assume the role of
'programme manager' having both the authority over
trustful delegated bodies and the legitimacy to
implement the necessary measures to achieve the
intended objectives."

CROMBEZ Christophe. « The political economy of EU
enlargement: impact on decision-making and budget ».
Review of Business and Economic Literature, 2013, v. 58,
n. 1, pp. 81-97. Abstract: “The eastward enlargement of
the European Union in the past ten years arguably
represents the EU's principal foreign policy achievement.
The economic merits of this accomplishment were,
however, hotly contested. In this article I focus on the
political-economic consequences of the eastward
enlargement. Specifically I study its impact on EU

decision-making and the EU budget. It was feared that
the enlargement would bring the EU legislative process
to a standstill and would wreck the EU budget. In this
article I argue that the legislative process slowed down,
but not nearly as significantly as expected, and that the
impact on the EU budget was limited.”

Summary: “This study analysed spending at both EU and
national levels in the following policy areas: education
and training, social policy, research and development,
humanitarian aid and common and foreign security
policy. It also reviewed the mechanisms and processes
aiming at ensuring budget coordination between the two
levels. While the policy priorities of the Member States
under scrutiny are congruent with those of the EU, the
overall synergy between strategic EU policy objectives
and budgetary policies is weak. Recommendations are
made that could enhance budgetary coordination
between
the
two
levels.”

GROOT Loek, ZONNEVELD Erik. « European Union budget
contributions and expenditures: a Lorenz curve approach
». Journal of Common Market Studies, 2013, v. 51, n. 4, p.
649-666. Abstract. “This article investigates the
(in)equality of the European budget with respect to
financial contributions and expenditures across Member
States. Standard tools from the measurement of income
inequality, including the Lorenz curve and the Gini
coefficient, are applied to the distribution of European
Union contributions and expenditure. In addition, the
inequality in the allocation of the budget is juxtaposed
against the distribution of voting power within the
Council of Ministers. Redistribution from rich to poor
members can mainly be attributed to unequal per capita
contributions in funding the EU budget, while voting
power rather than the needs of individual members
dominates with respect to expenditure. The accession to
the EU of relatively smaller eastern European countries in
2004 and 2007 delivered more voting power to poorer
countries with relatively small population shares. This
change reinforced the voting power effect in
expenditures”.

spends the money it collects from its member states. This
paper supports the idea that the EU budget battle
involves one-shot games that have persistent impacts on
the budget allocations. In one way or the other, the
member states are able to establish rules or contracts
that restrict the budget allocation in advance. In the
current status quo, France and Spain are the clearest

membres et institutions. Le CFP, dont le volume global
est en diminution par rapport au précédent, a mis aux
prises les «Amis du mieux dépenser» et les «Amis de la
cohésion ». Les priorités du CFP, tout comme le lien entre
les ressources propres et les dépenses programmées
jusqu'en 2020, ont également divisé les États membres”.

comment over an anti-keynesian budget ». Economia
Politica, 2013, v. 30, n. 3, p. 301-312. Abstract: “The
budget for 2014-2020 is unsatisfactory due to both
method and content. To method, because it is a deficit
budget which leaves the European Commission with little
margin of flexibility for anti-recession measures. To
content, because it favours redistributive policies
between European countries rather than policies
encouraging growth and employment throughout the
European Union. It is an austerity budget which is deeply
anti-Keynesian in a period of serious economic crisis
analogous to the great depression of the 1930s. A policy
of growth at a European level is needed in order to cope
with the economic depression, yet a policy of rigour and
austerity was proposed”.

at: “32nd EGPA Annual Conference, 8-10 September

on EU Administration and Multi-Level Governance”.
Abstract: A theoretical analysis is provided of the
accounting framework and rules applied to the annual
accounts of the European Communities (EC) since 2004.
This accounting system draws upon International Public
Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and is based on
accrual accounting, under a dual integrated accounting
process with the cash accounting that is maintained. It
purports to shape the financial accounting and reporting
of the supranational entity that are the EC. This entity
carries out a wide range of policies and programmes
through the financial resources provided by the
European Union Member States, making it accountable
for incurred expenditure to these constituents. By
analysing the accounting conceptual framework and the
sixteen specific rules, the paper assesses the capacity of
its accounting system to provide a true and fair
representation of the economy of the EC entity featured
by that expenditure-sharing purpose, under the overall
no-profit motive that is typical of every public
administration.

Summary: “We argue that in intergovernmental
negotiations in the European Union, large Member
States, countries with a good alternative to negotiated
agreement and governments facing domestic constraints
are more likely to resort to a hard bargaining strategy
than less powerful Member States. We test this
prediction with data from a survey with high-level
officials from all EU Member States for the case of the
negotiations concerning the EU Financial Perspective
2007–13. The evidence provides support for our
argument and casts doubt on studies that suggest either
that there are no differences in bargaining strategies
across EU member countries or that the main differences
exist between old and new EU Member States.”

years have seen the growth of a number of EU cofinancing instruments designed to enhance the leverage
of the EU budget by working more closely with the
European Investment Bank and the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development. However, the growth
of such instruments raises potential concerns in relation
to financial control and liability, in relation to
governance, transparency and visibility and in relation to
the extent to which such activity helps the deliverability
of EU objectives.”

Abstract: "This article analyses the institutional
constraints for European Union finances reform and
proposes a decision-making process that incorporates
these constraints and provides incentives to reorient the
budget towards more EU public goods. The authors
propose separating the budget into a redistributive and a
public good category. In order to reveal common
interests, the decision of what is to be considered an EU
public good is left to the negotiation process. In addition,
while public goods should be financed proportionally to
GNI shares, this is not necessarily the case for
redistributive policies. Net balances resulting from the
proposal are calculated."

hypothesis that national interests were the driving force

hypothesis is tested by comparing hypothetical coalitions
based on quantified national interests (partial net

discusses implications of the 'net balances problem' for
the 2008/09 EU budget review.”

“The aim of this paper is to suggest the adoption of a
fully informed approach in the analysis of CAP
expenditure. The debate on CAP expenditure is generally
based on ex-ante images of the budget as presented in
the Multiannual Financial Framework and, before each
financial year, on the budget appropriations for
commitments. But this differs significantly from the
actual payments as recorded ex-post in the Financial
Reports. These differences are mainly concentrated on
structural policies (such as regional and rural
development policy), while they do not exist, or are
minimal, in the mere transfer policies (such as in Pillar 1
of the CAP). Based as it is on a partial and distorted
image of the expenditure, the analysis and discussion on
the CAP reform is distorted as well”.

system encompasses two main dimensions: the structure
of EU financing and, in particular, whether the Union
should be financed via "genuine own resources" ; the
correction mechanisms and the way to either eliminate
or adapt them. These dimensions are analysed in depth
in the paper. This allows presenting three main mediumto long-term scenarios for a financing reform.”

wijze waarop de EU-begroting gefinancierd zou moeten
worden. In beginsel zouden de EU-inkomstenbronnen
aan een aantal criteria, waaronder gelijkheid en eenvoud,
moeten voldoen, maar is dit inderdaad wel het geval?
Wat zijn de kenmerken van het huidige inkomstenstelsel
voor de EU en is de juistheid van de inkomsten wel te
controleren? Wat zijn de mogelijkheden om het stelsel te
verbeteren en met welke adviezen kwam de Nederlandse

hierover een bondige beschouwing en stelt dat op dit
terrein de Barroso II Commissie voor een interessante
uitdaging staat.”

period 2014-2020 were the overall budget volume, the
structure of expenditures and the continuation of the
rebates for (some) net contributor countries. However,
the system of the EU's own resources was hardly
addressed in the negotiations, although it is one of the
most important obstacles to reform. This article reviews
the most important deficits of the current system of own
resources and assesses the most substantial reform
proposal which has been advocated for years by the
European Commission, namely to finance part of the EU
budget through EU taxes”.

et déjà son abandon, l'auteur estime que son budget doit
être maintenu. Mais l'iniquité du système actuel - les
fonds versés bénéficient principalement à un nombre
restreint d'États (quatre pays concentrent 58% du total)
et à certains types d'exploitations agricoles - nécessite
toutefois un redéploiement des soutiens à l'agriculture.

examines how the increased emphasis on financial

instruments on financial flows and considers how these

use isobudget and isobalance functions to analyse

These functions are key in understanding substitutability

crucial challenges, above all the need for EU agriculture
to provide public goods. However, only limited changes
to the CAP are proposed. Rather than making a
determined move towards targeted measures, direct
payments are supposed to continue forming the
backbone of the support regime. The “greening
component” cannot really improve the targeting of
payments. Redistribution of payments across Member
States may or may not enhance equity and will not
improve the provision of public goods.”

describe control of the EU budget exercised by the
European Parliament, in particular ex-post control of the
budget after it has been implemented, and to compare it
to ex-post control of national budgets carried out by the
parliaments of the EU Member States. The subject is
introduced by a brief overview of budgetary control in
the different phases of the EU budgetary cycle. The study
then focuses on the discharge procedure itself. After
considering what this control function consists of, the
study presents how parliaments carry it out and provides
an overview of the examination of the EU budget by
Member States. Subsequently, it identifies prerogatives
and roles of other actors involved in the discharge
procedure, notably the Supreme Audit Institutions and
the Executive. The study closes with a brief presentation
of the consequences resulting from exercising budgetary
control.”

entre ce qui doit être imputé au budget communautaire

ingénieux: la procédure d’apurement. Cette procédure
quantifie chaque année en fin d’exercice, mais aussi
rétroactivement, les dépenses qui ne peuvent être
financées par le budget communautaire et qui doivent
rester à la charge des États membres. Les rejets de
dépenses opérés par la Commission par le biais de
l’épurement obligent les États membres à se tourner vers
leur propre budget pour les financer. Les moyens dévolus
à la phase d’apurement sont insuffisants et contraignent
la Commission à opérer des rejets forfaitaires, qui
augmentent le poids des sanctions. Les sommes
prélevées par la Commission sur les dépenses dues aux
États membres constituent à la fois une sanction
financière pour les États membres et un gain financier
pour la Commission."

v. 66, n. 1, März, p. [89]-130. Abstract: "CAP reform is the
major bone of contention in the negotiations of the next
long-term EU budget beyond 2013. This paper reviews
the political landscape so as to make it more legible to
the public. First, it summarizes the arguments concerning
key reform issues. What should be the size of the CAP
budget and who should finance agricultural policies?
What should happen with direct income support and
how to deal with price fluctuations and food security?
Which public goods should the CAP pursue and how to
promote environmental public goods, in particular?
Second, it examines the formal positions as well as the
less visible interests and internal conflicts of the main
policy actors: DG Agri, the Commission College, the
European Parliament, the Member States, farmers and
landowners, other civil society stakeholders, and
academics. Finally, the paper discusses the prospects for
the reform process, such as a change in the CAP narrative
towards competitiveness and innovation or the
increasing influence of financial considerations and
broader EU affair on CAP reform."

FIGHT AGAINST FRAUD
BUEB Jean-Pierre. « Des entreprises éthiques pour lutter
contre la fraude aux intérêts financiers de l'Union ».
Revue du Marché commun, 2010, n. 538, p. 323-330.
Summary: "La fraude aux fonds européens est une
industrie d’avenir. C’est toujours une entreprise qui,
contrainte ou instigatrice, met en place le procédé
frauduleux. Malgré tous les efforts de l’OLAF et des
organismes nationaux d’investigation, la recherche de
preuves reste difficile. Les risques sont-ils limités lorsque
les entreprises adoptent un comportement éthique?
Depuis une dizaine d’années, les entreprises ont adopté
des "codes of ethics". Mais, en français, une mise au
point lexicographique s’avère indispensable car ce mot
anglo-saxon recouvre des notions très différentes. Les
codes qui existent sont censés mobiliser les employés et
les ouvriers sur la qualité des produits et les cadres sur
les valeurs de l’entreprise. Ils doivent également rassurer
les clients et les actionnaires. Ces codes sont donc des
outils au service des entreprises. Mais ils permettent
également un transfert des responsabilités en cas de
fraude ou de corruption. Ils sont souvent associés à un
dispositif d’alerte : le whistleblowing. Mais ce dispositif
est assez mal accepté car synonyme de délation et il
comporte des risques, aussi bien pour celui qui dénonce
que pour celui qui peut être victime de dénonciation. Le
comportement "éthique" des entreprises est une
nécessité mais il ne supprime pas le risque de fraude : il
rend seulement un peu plus difficile la découverte du vrai
coupable."

Journal of Financial Crime, 2010, v. 17, n. 1, p. 9-21.
Summary: “Turkey is currently a candidate for accession
to the European Union (EU), and one of the preconditions is to address corruption. Turkey is also a
member of the Council of Europe and subject to the
GRECO peer-review process on corruption. Various
quantitative and quantitative surveys rank Turkey as
having a continuing corruption problem, while the 2006
GRECO report warned of a lack of progress and proposed
major institutional and other reforms. Turkey’s political
and administrative development, however, may require
the EU to understand that addressing corruption in such
a context may require different answers from those
normally elicited to the usual questions about what is to
be done.”
ENGELBREKT Kjell. « EU enlargement and the
emboldening of institutional integrity in Central and
Eastern Europe : the "tough test" of public
procurement ». European Law Journal, 2011, v. 17, n. 2,
March, p. [230]-251. Abstract : "EU enlargement and the
incorporation of the acquis communautaire are widely
seen as successful and emboldening the integrity of
political, administrative and legal institutions in Central
and Eastern Europe (CEE). The analysis reported here
describes the specific problems associated with affirming
institutional integrity in the field of public procurement,
which constitutes a "tough test". Public procurement is
namely an area where the acquis swiftly gained preeminence in accession states, but whose complex
regulations depend on a well-functioning judiciary,
effective administrative supervision and limited
corruption. The experience in Poland and Bulgaria,
countries that represent different stages of institution
building in this area, is compared. The results suggest
that an EU-compatible public procurement regime is
being consolidated throughout the CEE region. At the
same time, that regime may only work well when
boundaries between institutional subjects, as well as
