    La Unión Europea (UE) es el principal financiador mundial de Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo (AOD). La financiación bilateral de la ayuda europea es moderadamente progresiva, pero es discrecional, no respeta el compromiso internacional del 0,7 y es mejorable en términos de “justicia distributiva”. Este artículo analiza la progresividad de la AOD de los 19 países de la UE que son donantes de la OCDE. Concebimos la AOD como un mecanismo fiscal que permite redistribuir el ingreso a escala global y proponemos un esquema progresivo capaz de fortalecer los incentivos para el cumplimiento de los compromisos internacionales de financiación de la AOD a través de una eficaz “presión entre pares” y un “contrato social” más creíble y justo entre los ciudadanos europeos.

    The European Union (EU) is the main world funder of Official Development Assistance (ODA). The financing of EU’s bilateral aid is moderately progressive, but it is discretional, it does not fulfil the 0,7% international aid target, and it is improvable in terms of “distributive justice”. This article analyses the ODA progressiveness of the 19 EU countries that are OECD donors. We conceive ODA as a tax mechanism for redistributing income on a worldwide scale and we propose a progressive scheme that will strengthen the incentives for fulfilling the international commitments on ODA financing by means of an effective “peer pressure” and a more credible and fairer “social contract” between European citizens.
