Práce ma za cíl analyzovat inovativnost budoucí tzv. finanční perspektivy Evropské unie z pohledu její výdajové struktury.Evropská Unie zejména prostřednictvím plateb svých členů financuje řadu unijních politik, které jsou již tradiční (zemědělství, regionální politika) ale taktéž politiky nové/inovativní (výzkum a vývoj, vnitřní bezpečnost,zahranční politika).První skupina výdajům dominuje , druhá je pouze zlomková.Hypotéza práce spočívá v tvrzení,že systémová podstata financí a zájmy členů neumožňují inovativnost výdajů perspektivy a ta je tak jen pokračováním perspektiv předešlých.The aim of the thesis is to analyse the coming Financial Perspective of the European Union (an EU budget) for the period 2007-2013, from the angle of expenditure structure. The question arises, whether the future expenditure structure makes the perspective rigid/traditional,or if it brings something innovative in comparison with its predecessors. The EU of the 21st century is willing to play more significant role in the global competition: in the field of economy, foreign policy and competitiveness in general. It is clear that a newly shaped budget in the sense of expenditure policy would help significantly in pursuing this challenge. However, the reality is quite different. The EU, backed mainly by money transfers of its members, finances a limited number of EU-wide policies. Some of them were designed years ago to fulfill certain goals at the time of their creation, what have made them already traditional (agriculture policy, regional policy) and the member states have become stronlgy dependent on them - for example France on agriculture policy or Mediterranean states on structural policy. On the other hand, as the EU devepelops within the time, some new/innovative policies are being included (R&D,internal security, foreign policy).Within the expendiure structure, however, the first group of expenses dominates, the latter is minor. The new memeber states, Czech Republic included, because of their economic situation, are willing to sustain the rigid structure as well, although they support new innovative measures as well. My hypothesis is based on the assumption, that the historical development of the nature of EU financial system and national interests of its members makes the system rigid and non-innovative.
