"Putting Europe into the EU budget

Europe's budget is becoming increasingly detached from its objectives, as
shown by the 40 percent of revenues that go to farm subsidies, with far
less for internal or external security"

"To achieve these reforms, a new decision-making procedure is required to
ensure that EU-wide, not national interests, dominate the process.
Decisions concerning both the multi-year framework and annual budgets
should be taken by majority voting in the Council and Parliament, based on
a formal proposal by the Commission, leaving decisions about the overall
resource ceiling to the Council of Ministers and member states. This will
require changing the EU's Constitutional Treaty once it enters into
force."
