Evaluation Criteria of the EU’s Own Resources

Abstract

The author in this article examines the assessment criteria of the EU’s own resources budget. The main goal of this article is to establish an up-to-date, effective system of evaluation criteria for the EU’s own resources budget. To achieve this, the article assesses the evaluation criteria for the EU’s own resources budget through the objectives of the European Commission and the High-Level Group on Own Resources, as well as examining the evaluation criteria for the EU’s own resources budget studied in the academic community. The hypothesis of this article poses the question of whether it is necessary to reform the evaluation criteria for the assessment of current and potential own resources, and if so, in what way. The author uses several research methods, especially analysis, synthesis, and comparison.
