The European Commission on 22 September 2005 presented the 2004 Annual Report on allocated expenditure, the first budget of the enlarged European Union. The report analyses in detail the allocation by Member State of EU expenditure by policy heading and sub-categories of expenditure. It gives actual implementation figures for the 10 new Member States. It includes complete updated harmonised series on allocated expenditure, revenue and budgetary balances from 1992 to 2004. The Financial Report 2004, which shows benefits flowing from this expenditure, had already been published in May 2005.
