In the long term, the MFF’s timing should be adjusted to coincide with the European Parliament’s mandate, and the EU’s excessive reliance on national contributions should be reduced. As trade liberalization has diminished the EU’s income, mainly derived from customs duties, individual countries have increasingly sought to minimize their net contributions.
从长期看，MFF的时机应该进行调整以适应欧洲议会的指令，欧盟过度依赖国家出资的现状也应该有所遏制。随着贸易自由化降低了欧盟的收入（主要来自关税），个体国家开始日益寻求减少净出资规模。
