Comisia Europeană critică planul Irlandei de a tăia 159 de miliarde de euro din viitorul buget al UE

Ireland has proposed a €159 billion reduction in the EU budget for 2028-2034, which could impact funding for competitiveness, defense, and external aid. The European Commission warns that such cuts may hinder the EU's ability to support farmers and regions affected by disasters. While Ireland aims to maintain agricultural and regional funds, other member states have differing views on budget cuts. Germany advocates for deeper reductions, while 17 countries support Ireland's stance on agriculture. Negotiations are ongoing, with a crucial meeting scheduled to assess the potential for an agreement before the end of the year.
