French version: Évaluer le coût de la non-Europe 2014-19

German version: Zuordnung der Kosten des Nicht-Europas 2014 -19

This paper embodies work-in-progress on a long-term project being undertaken by the European Parliament’s European Added Value Unit, in conjunction with the office of the Secretary-General and the Economic Governance Support Unit, in order to try to identify and analyse the ‘cost of non-Europe’ in certain policy fields. It is intended as a contribution to the growing discussion about the European Union’s policy priorities for the coming five-year institutional cycle, from 2014 to 2019. (The paper was first published in March 2014 and has now been updated to take account of further research undertaken in the second quarter of 2014).
