Book excerpt: The EU budget is unique. Unlike national budgets which are used in large part for providing public services and funding social security systems, the EU budget is primarily an investment budget. It provides a longer-term planning horizon and stability, which is a prerequisite for investment planning. The current EU budget covers 2014-2020 and allows the European Union to invest around €1 trillion over that period.
