Financing the EU budget, moving forward or backwards? The peculiarities of EU revenue and its possible evolution
EU support to eHealth and cost-benefits, in “eHealth, Care and Quality of Life”, edited by A. Gaddi, F. Capello, M. Manca, Springer-Verlag, Milano, January 2014. When compared to other countries, the use of ICT in health is relatively developed in Europe although there are significant differences across EU member states. A lot remains to be done before eHealth will have become commonplace for health professionals, patients and citizens. The gap between potential for eHealth development and actual achievements can be significant. A key difficulty is creating systems to be used with satisfaction by both consumers and clinicians. eHealth raises complex management problems and competing options requiring careful consideration of the expected benefits to outweigh the costs. To have a measurable impact, EU actions need a rationale with an identifiable place into national eHealth plans, adapted to different degrees of member states’ ICT development. EU actions should be concentrated on selected activities, according to a rigorous set of priorities commensurate with the available means. Adequate accountability processes should provide a credible review of both expectations and results in view of making future approaches more relevant and effective.
The EU Budget: A “Trojan Horse” for Better National Spending?; in “The Aftermath of the Global Crisis in the European Union” (Edited by Beáta Farkas), Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013. The common European Union budget is a special field of fiscal policy. My contribution provides insights on a particular aspect of national and union level budgeting. The economic and financial crisis creates the need for a more targeted and results-driven public expenditure policy a priority, demonstrating and acknowledging that EU actions add value to national policies and address individuals’ concerns more effectively than “national” or “local” ones may provide an example of “best practices” for national spending. The opportunity is to identify and promote best practices in planning, management and reporting to achieve public objectives.
