Abstract

The current system of EU revenues is opaque, complicated and unfair. That is the reason why it ought to be changed. The forthcoming budget review therefore offers the opportunity for a significant reform. The European Union needs greater financial flexibility in order to fulfil its global commitments. An EU tax should be considered, which would raise the level of the EU's own resources.
