This contradiction signals that national interests continue to prevail in EU budget negotiations, which are often exploited for domestic political gain in member states. Unless a mechanism is introduced that facilitates the rapid disbursement of EU funds, thus insulating the budget from destructive politicization, these funds cannot be used to stimulate growth in times of crisis.
事实上，尽管欧洲各国政府同意鼓励快速回收危机国的欧盟基金，但它们拒绝向欧盟预算注资以满足这些基金的支出。这一矛盾表明，国家利益仍广泛存在于欧盟预算谈判中，成员国总是将谈判当作争取本国政治利益的工具。除非引入能够促使欧盟基金快速支出的机制，从而让预算免于毁灭性的政治化，欧盟基金将无法被用于在危机时刺激增长。
