The exercise of revision of the "financial framework" of the European Union scheduled by the European Council provides a unique opportunity to question the great desirable developments of the EU budget for 2013, without the position immediately exact nature of the political decisions to make, to deal in principle on the post 2013 period. This schedule is conducive to medium term the inclusion of analytical data as thorough as possible, and to better inform thinking and decision decisions of public authorities . In this perspective, it seems necessary to broaden the debate on the EU budget, taking into account expenses incurred by the EU Member States, sometimes invoked implicitly, but on which no systematic inventory exists at this day: it is this gap that this panel seeks to fill, to provide a useful assessment tool for policy makers and the wider intellectual community active on these issues.
