Performance and mainstreaming framework for the EU budget - Empirical evidence, analysis and recommendations
Abstract
Performance-based budgeting by focusing on ‘what works’, as opposed to whether money has been properly spent, aims to improve the quality of public spending. This study examines how successful the approach has been in the EU, looking at the multiannual financial framework and the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The study looks, in particular, at the role of the European Parliament and how it could be enhanced, drawing on lessons from use of the approach in national settings.
This document was requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Budgets.
