A system based on the EU’s own resources would reduce tension between contributors and beneficiaries and ease pressure on member states’ budgets. Existing proposals include a “Robin Hood” tax on financial transactions, a share of the profits from the EU’s carbon emissions-trading scheme, or a larger take from value-added tax receipts.
基于欧盟本身资源的制度能减缓出资国和受益国之间的紧张，缓解成员国的预算压力。现有方案包括对金融交易征收“罗宾汉”税、抽取欧盟碳排放交易机制的一部分利润或更多地从增值税中抽成。但欧盟理事会并没有将可能引起争议的话题纳入当前讨论。
