The aim of the study was to assess whether the presentation of financial flows between states and the EU budget provides constructive information, since the literature on the subject emphasizes that the assessment of the benefits and costs of integration has a much broader and more complex scope resulting from the free movement of people, services, goods and capital. In the paper it was used data from 2019 taking into consideration the last year of the UK's full membership in the European Union and a year before COVID-19 pandemic which also has influenced EU finance. In addition, the current operating balances of the member states are presented based on the latest data from 2022 referring to the author’s modified algorithm for calculating operating budgetary balances according to the guidelines of the European Commission. Findings resulting from the conducted research are as follows: referring to the formulated hypotheses it should be stated that there are no grounds to reject them. Correction mechanisms on the revenue side of the European Union budget affect the operating balance of a given country, although they do not have to cause a change in the operating balance from negative to positive or vice versa. In addition operating budgetary balances do not provide a true picture of the benefits and costs of European integration. Providing the value of budget balances for member states in relation to the EU budget should be considered a strictly accounting procedure. The wider use of operating budgetary balances can be considered a denial of the essence of European added value, because they refer to the idea of "fair return" as the expectation of a certain adequacy between the amounts paid and the funds received from the budget.

Wieloletnie Ramy Finansowe przekładają priorytety polityki Unii Europejskiej na kategorie finansowe, a ich implementacja staje się odzwierciedleniem wizji integracji, jaka ma być realizowana w kolejnych latach. Proces negocjacji ram angażuje szereg podmiotów reprezentujących zróżnicowane interesy czy rozmaite perspektywy. Dodatkowo, proces ten jest warunkowany klimatem politycznym i gospodarczym. Negocjacje Wieloletnich Ram Finansowych na lata 2014-2020 odbywają się w wyjątkowych okolicznościach – w tle stale utrzymującej się, słabej kondycji gospodarczej państw dotkniętych skutkami kryzysu finansowego. Implikuje to naturalne pytanie o wpływ kryzysu gospodarczego na przebieg negocjacji oraz rozważania, na ile kształt przyjętych propozycji uwzględnia interesy poszczególnych państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej, w tym Polski.

The Multiannual Financial Frameworks translate the policy priorities of the EU into financial categories. Their implementation becomes a reflection of the vision of integration to be pursued in the coming years. The negotiation process involves a number of entities representing different interests and/or perspectives. In addition, the process is conditioned by the political and economic climate. Negotiations on the Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020 are held in exceptional circumstances – against the background of a persistently poor economic situation of the countries affected by the financial crisis. This raises the obvious questions as to what impact the economic crisis has on the negotiations and how the shape of the adopted proposals takes into account the interests of individual EU Member States, including Poland.

Przebieg negocjacji w ramach Rady Unii Europejskiej oraz zatwierdzony przez ogół państw członkowskich projekt budżetu unijnego na lata 2014–2020 ukazują znaczący wpływ negatywnych skutków kryzysu oraz braku stabilności strefy euro na kolejne wieloletnie ramy finansowe UE. Obecny kontekst sytuacji politycznej w Europie, jak również wspomniane wyżej czynniki skłaniają do przeprowadzenia: wnikliwej analizy przytoczonych pertraktacji, próby oceny zatwierdzonego budżetu, a także przedstawienia uzyskanych w dociekaniach wniosków. Podstawę rozważań stanowią główne etapy rozwoju rozmów budżetowych, ze szczególnym skupieniem uwagi na dwóch ścieżkach negocjacyjnych w ramach Rady Unii Europejskiej. Analizie poddano także stanowiska poszczególnych stron, tj. Komisji Europejskiej, prezydencji Rady, państw członkowskich oraz Parlamentu Europejskiego, by ostatecznie podjąć się próby oceny zatwierdzonego projektu. Wybór zagadnień dokonany został w oparciu o przesłankę istotności, podczas gdy wspomniana ewaluacja zrealizowana została na podstawie kryterium zasadności i efektywności.

The negotiations in the Council of the European Union and the draft budget for 2014–2020 approved by all of the Member States have shown a significant impact of the negative effects of the crisis and instability in the euro area on the next Multiannual Financial Framework of the European Union. Therefore, in the context of the current political situation in Europe and because of the stated factors, the aim of this article is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the above-mentioned negotiations, to attempt to assess the approved budget, as well as to present the conclusions of these inquiries. The main stages of the development of the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2014–2020 negotiations constitute the basis of the considerations, with a special focus on the two tracks of determining the draft budget in the Council of the European Union. The author also analysed the positions of the Community actors involved in the negotiotions: the European Commission, the Presidency of the Council of the EU, the Member States, and the European Parliament. Finally, an attempt to assess the approved project was made. The choice of analysed issues has been made on the premise of significance, while an attempt of evaluation was based on the criteria of legitimacy and efficiency.
