The Finances of the Union's Intergovernmental Pillars: Tortuous Experiments with the Community Budget

Abstract

The Union Treaty offers the Council the possibility of using the Community budget to finance measures under the two intergovernmental pillars. Some Member States are reluctant to do so because they fear that the application of Community budgetary procedures might lead to a communitarization of intergovernmental action through the back door. Yet, it has proved to be very difficult for the Member States to agree on how to finance such measures out of their national budgets. The Council has therefore increasingly used the EC budget for measures under Titles V and VI. The way in which this has been done, however, has caused serious interinstitutional friction, has blurred political and budgetary responsibilities within the Community system, and raises questions about adequate parliamentary control and the efficiency of the present system of financing.
