Reforming the EU budget in times of crisis

This Tribune underlines the main issues at stake in the perspective of the extraordinary European Council which is to take key decisions on the EU budget for the post 2013 period. It is based on the opening remarks made on the occasion of an expert seminar organized by Notre Europe – Jacques Delors Institute in Roma on the 30th of October 2012, in partnership with the Istituto Affari Internazionali, the Centro Studi sul Federalismo and the Institut für europäische Politik.
