试析欧洲主权债务危机对欧盟预算制度改革的影响

The Impact of European Sovereign Debt Crisis on the Reform of EU Budgetary System

2009年,由美国次贷危机引发的全球性金融危机蔓延至欧洲大陆,导致欧洲多国相继爆发主权债务危机。欧债危机的持续发酵促使欧盟成员国纷纷采取财政紧缩政策,这给长期以来规模不断扩大的欧盟预算造成冲击,使欧盟2014-2020年中期预算的制定几度陷入僵局,并由此引发了欧盟新一轮的预算危机。在此次欧盟预算危机中,各成员国为了维护本国的利益,在制定2014-2020年中期预算过程中,互不相让,迫使最终通过的2014-2020年中期预算较2007-2013年中期预算缩小了规模。欧债危机在间接导致欧盟信用评级被下调的同时,也对欧盟预算制度的改革形成倒逼机制,它将促使欧盟加快对其预算制度中存在的各种缺陷进行改革的步伐。

In 2009, the global financial crisis triggered by the US subprime mortgage crisis spread to the European continent, and it lead to the outbreak of sovereign debt crisis in Europe. The quick develop- ment of sovereign debt crisis made the EU member states push plans for austerity measures, which had immediate adverse effect on the plan of the multiannual financial framework 2014 -2020. It triggered a new round of EU budget crisis. All EU member states put their own interests at first when discussing the new midterm budget, which resulted in a significant reduction of the amount of the budget compared to that of the 2007 -2013 one. The credit rating of EU was lowered due to the effect of the EU sovereign debt crisis, which in turn would lead to reforms to the budgetary system in EU.
