Cancelarul german se va coordona cu liderii ţărilor "frugale" în discuţiile privind viitorul buget multianual al UE - Economica.net

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will host a working breakfast with leaders from 'frugal' EU countries to discuss the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034. They aim to establish a common stance advocating for a rigorous and modernized budget. Germany, as the largest net contributor, is concerned about the proposed budget increase by the European Commission, which exceeds 2 trillion euros. Merz emphasizes the need for an agreement on the budget this year to avoid institutional paralysis during upcoming elections in key member states. The debate is complex, with divisions between frugal countries and those seeking increased funding for agriculture and cohesion policies.
