Financial perspective

Financial perspective

The financial perspective (sometimes financial framework) of the European Union (EU) is a seven-year framework for its spending.

The origin of this unusual usage of the term "perspective" appears to be non-native English, likely influenced by French or German (English "prospects" = French "perspectifs", German "Perspektive").

Financial perspective for the 2007/2013 period

On December 15 2005, EU members agreed to fix the common budget to 1.045% of the European GDP. UK Prime Minister Tony Blair accepted to review the British rebate, negotiated by Margaret Thatcher in 1984. French President Jacques Chirac declared that this increase in budget will permit Europe to "finance common policies" such as the Common Agricultural Policy - which represents about 44% of the EU's spending - or the Research and Technological Development Policy. However, France's demand to lower the VAT in catering was refused.
