"The crisis revealed the structural problems confronting most Member States of the EU. In order for us to overcome these problems, we must invest in priority areas such as education, research and innovation.
Areas where the EU can demonstrate its added value include unfavourable demographic developments (exerting pressure on social systems), climate change and energy supply, since current trends suggest that the EU will be importing almost two-thirds of its energy in 30 years’ time.
The EU budget must ensure the highest possible level of European added value by merging resources and achieving economies of scale, as well as positive transboundary effects and side effects. It must prevent duplications and overlaps with Member State expenditure. The aim must be always to create greater value than if the funding had been carried out by Member States individually.
The Commission should review all areas in which funding from the common budget would be more effective than state funding from national budgets."@en1
