Harmonisation of gross national income (GNI Regulation)

This procedure aims to standardise how Gross National Income (GNI) is calculated across EU Member States. Because GNI is used to determine how much each country contributes to the EU budget, a consistent and transparent method is essential to ensure fairness and accuracy in financial contributions.

This affects EU Member States and the EU budget administration. It ensures that the 'own resources' system is based on reliable, comparable data, preventing discrepancies in how national wealth is measured.
