Abstract
In a European Union of states and citizens, the budget of the Union continues to function principally as a budget between states. Despite various attempts over the decades to introduce reforms aimed at strengthening the connection with citizens, the budgetary system has shown itself to be resistant to change. However, the landmark agreements of 2020 on the new multiannual financial framework (MFF) 2021–2027, own resources and recovery plan (Next Generation EU [NGEU]) packages potentially open up new possibilities to move beyond the logic of juste retour and promote a more positive vision of European budgetary integration, founded on solidarity between states and citizens and coordinated action at all levels of governance. Building on the developments of 2020, this contribution assesses how the Conference on the Future of Europe might explore options to further strengthen the profile of the Union budget as a ‘budget of citizens’, as well as a ‘budget of states’.
期刊介绍：
The European Law Journal represents an authoritative new approach to the study of European Law, developed specifically to express and develop the study and understanding of European law in its social, cultural, political and economic context. It has a highly reputed board of editors. The journal fills a major gap in the current literature on all issues of European law, and is essential reading for anyone studying or practising EU law and its diverse impact on the environment, national legal systems, local government, economic organizations, and European citizens. As well as focusing on the European Union, the journal also examines the national legal systems of countries in Western, Central and Eastern Europe and relations between Europe and other parts of the world, particularly the United States, Japan, China, India, Mercosur and developing countries. The journal is published in English but is dedicated to publishing native language articles and has a dedicated translation fund available for this purpose. It is a refereed journal.
