Budget of the European Union 2016

The Budget of the European Union 2016 was adopted by the European Parliament on 25 November 2015 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union L 48, 24 February 2016. The dataset presented here contains three elements:

1. data in xml (EN) – expenditure for the 10 EU institutions covered by the budget

2. data in csv (in 23 LV's) – expenditure for the 10 EU institutions covered by the budget

3. metadata in xml.

The data is organised by budget lines. The lines with figures contain information for:

1. the budget year, in this case 2016,

2. the year before, 2015,

3. and the outturn for 2014.

Each line with figures has a reference to the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF)/ Political Category (CATPOL) (for example catpol="1.1.31"). In the metadata file it is possible to find the systematic descriptions of the MFF/CATPOL headings. Following the URI below it is possible to find the Budget of the European Union in its different stages (Draft Budget, Line-by-line, final Budget, Draft Amending Budgets and Draft Amending letters).

It is not possible to provide an XML-schema for the this project.
