Zukunft der EU-Strukturpolitik

Like all other policy fields and the revenue side, structural policies are subject to the current general review of the European budgetary system.

On the other hand it quantitatively evaluates which budgetary consequences the different reform options as well as the continuance of the status quo would generate.
