Rede europeia de grupos de reflexão desafia Bruxelas com orçamento alternativo para a UE

In response to the "largest budget ever," Epicenter proposes to limit it to 1% of Gross National Income. The plan suggests far-reaching reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy and the pension system to ensure financial discipline. The central objective is to promote innovation and the capital market without burdening taxpayers with new taxes

Europe needs a leaner, sharper EU budget

Europe needs a leaner, sharper EU budget

Bigger is not always better. But Brussels has convinced itself that Europe’s problems can only be solved by throwing more money at them. One would think that the runaway inflation post-pandemic and the stagnating economic growth in a high-tax, high-regulation environment has already proven this theory wrong.

Budget battle lines drawn over Brussels spending scale and revenue sources

Budget battle lines drawn over Brussels spending scale and revenue sources

Negotiations over the European Union’s next long-term budget have exposed deep divisions between institutions, member states and policy analysts over how much the bloc should spend, how it should raise the money, and whether a larger budget would meaningfully address Europe’s underlying competitiveness challenges.

The Illusion That a Bigger EU Budget Creates a Stronger Europe

The Illusion That a Bigger EU Budget Creates a Stronger Europe

The next EU budget should be judged by one basic test: whether it is genuinely European in purpose, not merely in branding. A budget is not European simply because the money is spent through Brussels. It is not European because national governments, sectoral lobbies and regional authorities attach EU language to domestic spending demands. And it is certainly not European when it becomes a piggy bank for national interest groups or political promises of the member states.

According to a new study, 220 billion euros can be saved in the EU budget. A group of liberal think tanks is calling for a radical reform of the EU budget. The EU should concentrate on its actual tasks and deepen the internal market. This would therefore also relieve the burden on national budgets.

Pension: KEFiM study sees a "bomb" in Greek and EU pensions. The Greek pension system continues to be one of the biggest fiscal headaches of the economy, despite the successive reforms of recent years, according to a new study by the Center for Liberal Studies (KEFiM), which examines both the Greek reality and the corresponding system of the European Union.

The social security system returns as the great "silent crisis": 43% of pensions from the state budget. The new study by the Center for Liberal Studies (KEFIM) comes to remind us of an issue that for years seemed to have moved away from the center of the public debate: the social security issue has never ceased to be one of the biggest structural problems of the Greek economy. Simply, for a while, it ceased to produce an immediate political shock.

43% of pensions are covered by the budget – Taxation "puts its back" on the pension system.

This picture is improved compared to 2021, as the general tax contribution has decreased by about 6 percentage points, while in 2029 it is predicted that contributions will cover 62% of pension expenses.

After the tax reform: how are taxpayers being honoured this year?

ES budget is planned to be a record – will Europe become more competitive? The European Union is planning the next seven-year budget, from 2028 to 2034. The amount proposed by the European Commission amounts to about 2 trillion euros, and the new budget is already called the largest in the history of the EU. But the debate is just beginning, with the European Parliament saying that even this amount may not be enough, because "Europe cannot enter a new era with an old budget".

Smaller but more targeted: what EU budget Europe needs. More doesn't necessarily mean better. However, Brussels seems convinced that Europe's problems can be solved by increasing their funding. It would seem that post-pandemic inflation and stagnant economic growth in an environment of high taxes and overregulation should have already demonstrated the limitations of this approach. However, the European Commission (EC) proposes that the new EU budget for 2028-2034 would be the largest multiannual financial framework in history, amounting to €1.76 trillion. euros. The European Parliament, not wanting to lag behind, is seeking to increase it to EUR 2 trillion. euros.

E. Leontjeva. When the Centre of Registers crashes, there is a shortage of money. When Europe loses competitiveness, it is justified that there is also a shortage of money. The only difference is the scale: in one place we are talking about a national institution, in another we are talking about the trillion EU budget. The scheme of thinking is the same: "lack of money".

Entrepreneurs do not have to ricochet the regulations. "The government should enter the game earlier". Entrepreneurs can be protected from the adverse effects of the regulation. "The Polish government should have entered the game earlier.". It is said that hell is paved with good intentions. If we raise the subject of regulations in Poland, many entrepreneurs will start cursing bureaucratic hell circles. The government is undertaking deregulatory activities, but is it going in the right direction? This was assessed by experts during the Polish Economic Congress.

Raport IES-Europe / EPICENTER: Bugetul UE riscă să devină prea mare, prea centralizat și prea costisitor pentru contribuabilii europeni

IES-Europe / EPICENTER report: EU budget risks becoming too big, too centralised and too costly for European taxpayers. A new EPICENTER report launched in Brussels proposes a smaller European budget of around 1% of the EU's Gross National Income, compared to the European Commission's plan of almost €1.8 trillion. The report looks at new European financing mechanisms in areas such as the environment, taxation or the extension of the European Union's common debt. The think tank draws attention to the administrative costs and pension obligations of the European institutions, which are insufficiently reflected in the public debate.

BRATISLAVA / While the European Parliament would increase the draft of the new seven-year budget of the European Union by ten percent from 2028, analysts, on the contrary, see room for savings in it. The European Commission is currently counting on a proposal of 1.27 percent of the Union's gross national income, which is about two trillion euros. Analysts from the Institute of Economic and Social Analyses together with European think-tanks associated in the pan-European Epicenter Network looked at how European money could be spent more efficiently. Moderator Bruno Ciberej asked Radovan Ďurana, an analyst at the Institute of Economic and Social Analyses, where there is room for savings in Studio 24.

The European Commission wants to significantly increase the common budget and new taxes. The proposal may affect companies and families and worsen their competitiveness. Critics warn that Brussels is taking powers that belong to the states. The alternative promises less expenses, but reveals a deeper problem of the system.
