Bugetul UE de 2.000 de miliarde de euro intră la tăieri. Germania pune presiune pe fondurile importante pentru România
Negotiations for the next EU multiannual budget are at a critical stage, with member states divided over spending cuts. Romania advocates for maintaining funding for cohesion and agriculture, while larger economies push for reductions. The European Commission proposed a budget of nearly €2 trillion for 2028-2034, but countries like Germany and the Netherlands argue it is excessive. The lack of consensus on new revenue sources complicates discussions, as many states resist increasing their contributions. The European Parliament calls for a larger budget to support both new priorities and traditional policies. A final agreement is needed by the end of the year, ahead of a busy electoral calendar in 2027.
