最近对欧盟预算演变的研究表明，间断均衡模型最能解释其随时间的演变。然而，一些因素结合在一起，给欧盟的预算编制过程带来了重大变化。本文概述了这一变化的驱动因素，在相关理论的光，显示如何日益政治化的欧盟预算和欧盟决策的重要性日益增加的选举周期，导致欧盟委员会，与欧洲议会，以寻求将预算更接近自己的，选举定义的任务。在2014年欧洲选举之后，容克委员会制定了一项投资计划，该计划将标志着这种选举驱动的变化，而无需正式调整预算程序。虽然现在谈论不可逆转的发展还为时过早，但有明显迹象表明，我们可能正在目睹欧盟预算发展逻辑的重大转变。如果正式化，周期性的欧盟预算编制过程可以为政治预算周期奠定基础。
Recent studies on the evolution of the EU budget suggest that punctuated equilibrium models best explain its evolution over time. However, a number of factors have combined to bring about major changes in the processes of budgeting in the EU. The paper outlines the drivers of this change in the light of relevant theories, showing how growing politicisation of EU budgeting and the increasing importance of electoral cycles in EU policy-making have led the EU Commission, in conjunction with the European Parliament, to seek to tie budgeting closer to its own, electorally defined mandate. Following the 2014 European elections, the Juncker Commission developed an investment plan that would signal this electorally-driven change without requiring a formal adaptation of the budget procedure. While it is too early to speak of an irreversible development, there are clear indications that we may be witnessing a major shift in the developmental logic of the EU budget. If formalised, cyclical EU budgeting processes could establish the foundations for political budget cycles.
