  • BREXIT and the EU BUDGET: THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY? Jörg Haas | Research Fellow, Jacques Delors Institut - Berlin
    POLICY PAPER 183 16 JANUARY 2017 BREXIT AND THE EU BUDGET: THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY? Jörg Haas | Research Fellow, Jacques Delors Institut - Berlin Eulalia Rubio | Senior Research Fellow, Jacques Delors Institute SUMMARY Brexit could affect EU public finances through multiple channels. One-off effects such as the ‘divorce bill’ receive much attention today, but structural effects could be more important for the EU in the medium term. Without the UK, the EU budget would face a permanent funding gap. THE BREXIT GAP We estimate that the ‘Brexit gap’ in the budget would amount to approxi- (...) WOULD AMOUNT TO mately €10 billion per year. The EU Member States need to decide whether to APPROXIMATELY €10 adjust to this shortfall by (1) increasing national contributions, (2) cutting BILLION PER YEAR” spending, or (3) a combination of the two. We draw up scenarios that illustrate the consequences of each option for individual countries. We discuss the implications of these scenarios for the negotiations about the EU’s next multi-annual financial framework (MFF) starting in 2018. We expect hard bargaining as Brexit would entrench existing divisions between net contributors and net beneficiaries of the EU budget. • Increased contributions would likely be resisted by net contributors, who would have to shoulder most of the burden. Countries that currently benefit from a ‘rebate on the rebate’ would be among the most affected. • Budget cuts are unappealing to those countries that currently profit from EU cohesion policy and the Common Agricultural Policy. The bargaining strength of the two groups will depend on their members and on the legal framework.
