The EU Sources of the 2021–2027 Programming Period and the Possible Hungarian Allocation

Abstract

The long term EU budget for the 2021–2027 programming period and the utilisation system of  the EU Funds are formed in crossfires of professional  and political debates. Due to the new situation  caused by COVID, the ‘usual’ complex political and  professional conciliation and legislative process has  been extended by additional elements, as it is also  the task of the current period to develop the  necessary tools to be able to solve the crisis. The  different programs and instruments should be  implemented along diversified rules, but within one  coherent system. The long term financial budget,  new instruments and the utilisation of resources are  still under finalisation, and there was a significant political debate about the condition of  constitutionality. In addition to the already defined main directions, there are still several open questions and uncertainties. However, planning preparations  are underway, and with the help of emerging tools,  they will enable the execution of various horizontal and sectorial developments and measures.
