EU Budget Debate: Financing Defence, Aiding Ukraine, and the 'Own Resource' Concept
The latest episode of The Sound of Economics is delving into the European Commission's budget plan. Key topics include financing Europe's defence and security needs, aiding Ukraine, and the debate surrounding the adequacy of the EU budget to meet its requirements.
At the heart of the discussion is the 'own resource' concept, which outlines how member states contribute financially to support the European Union. The EU's own resources package is being explored as a means to adapt the budget to emerging challenges.
The debate also touches on the potential overhaul of EU agricultural support, with suggestions to merge it with support for lower-income countries. This raises questions about which public goods Europe deems valuable enough to invest in.
