Structural Funds: Investing in Roma
"The Commission’s communication states that the EU budget has been the cornerstone of the realisation of Europe's aspirations in key issues such as growth, solidarity or security; however when sudden new circumstances arise (food crisis, natural disasters...), it is too slow to react. Current rules make shifting funds, even in a very limited way, a long and cumbersome process.
Moreover, under the current system budgetary criteria focus too much on inputs instead of actual results. The Commission also stresses that negotiations on budget are too often guided by the need to give everyone the feeling they got their fair share rather than on giving European priorities the right funding."
