E foame de bani: De unde va face rost Uniunea Europeană de fonduri
The EU is preparing its long-term budget for 2028-2034, focusing on new funding sources amid upcoming elections. Discussions revolve around 'own resources' to finance ambitious investments in strategic sectors while maintaining agricultural support. Finding a consensus on new taxes is challenging, as governments fear public backlash. Proposals include a carbon border adjustment mechanism, a processing fee for small packages, an online gambling tax, a tobacco tax, and a corporate contribution. Each proposal faces political and technical hurdles, with varying potential revenue outcomes.
