Summary
EU budget and structural policies
Part V of this book covers all EU policies that address certain structural aspects of the EU economy and society. The EU affords special treatment to those in the agricultural sector, the fishing industry and depressed regions, as well as dealing with EU-wide social problems, especially unemployment, and hence employment. These areas are not only financed by the EU general budget, but also claim the bulk of its general budgetary resources. Thus this part of the book begins with a chapter on the budget and follows on with chapters on each of the mentioned areas.
