Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Ms Niamh Campbell:
The two main elements of the EU budget are CAP and cohesion funding earmarked for member states.
The rules are set out and every member state knows them. Moreover, the remaining policy areas are not allocated on the same basis, which is not a new development and this is the way in which the European Union budget actually works.
