Welcome to eucourse.eu, dedicated to those aiming for a career within the European Union's institutions, or wanting to learn more about how the EU works.
Join us as we explore the critical role of the European Commission in the implementation of the EU budget, a process crucial for the functioning of the European Union and the realisation of its policies. This session provides an intricate look at the mechanisms and standards that govern the budget's execution, ensuring that EU funds are effectively and responsibly utilised for the benefit of its citizens.
The implementation of the EU budget is a meticulously structured process involving two main types of operations: commitments and actual payments. We will discuss the methods and rules guiding this process, focusing on the principles of transparency, efficiency, and subsidiarity that underpin the European Commission's approach.
Learn about the three main methods the European Commission employs to implement the EU budget:
1. Direct Management: Understand how departments or executive agencies directly manage approximately 20% of the EU budget.
2. Shared Management: Discover the collaboration with member states in managing around 70% of the budget.
3. Indirect Management: Delve into how non-EU countries, international organizations, and others indirectly manage about 10% of the budget.
