EU Financial Management

Since I have been spending time in the European Union, I have certainly found that some people’s instincts are to want to authorise every increase in budgets for the Commission although in some cases the most effective way in which to tackle the problems relating to the budget headings that we are discussing would be through nation states. They sometimes want to create ever-increasing budgets to build an empire within the European Union even when, to achieve effective outcomes, it would be better if the money were filtered through nation states.
