The EU Budget after Brexit: Reform not Revolution

The EU was beginning to craft its financial framework (Multiannual Financial Framework or MFF) for 2020-26. The Commission was to make its formal proposal in May. The EU should make up for the loss of the UK’s annual net contribution of about €10 billion per year with a balanced combination of spending cuts and increased revenue. Rebates enjoyed by selected member-states should be scrapped, as they make the budget less just and less transparent.
