Otwarcie debaty na temat przyszłości finansów UE

The assessed document launches the debate on the future of EU finances. It is the last (5th) document concerning the issues raised in the White Paper on the Future of Europe [COM(2017)2025]. The authors evaluate the prior document rather positively due to challenges presented in it by the Commission and the five scenarios concerning the future of the Union and the reform of EU policies. An analysis of these scenarios indicates that the scenario no. 3 “Some do more” and the scenario no. 5 “Doing much more together” do not seem realistic, because the scenario no. 3 would lead to weakening of the EU and increase of bureaucracy, while Member States are not yet for ready for the scenario no. 5. With regard to Poland, the scenarios no. 2 “Doing less together” and no. 4 “Radical redesign” could be beneficial, but the advantages of the scenario no. 1 “Carrying on” should also be noticed.
