Summary/Abstract: The paper offers a reflection on the negotiations at European level for the multi-annual budget of the European Union for 2014-2020 from two perspectives, the state centric and the multi-level governance one. It concludes that the Council – made up by representatives of the member-states – is no longer the sole decisive actor in negotiations at European level. The collective control over European decision-making processes spreads within the European Parliament as well. Therefore, the arena of bargaining processes on which the European Union is build spans.
