Irlanda vine cu o contrapropunere și taie bugetul UE cu 160 de miliarde de euro. Ce au de câștigat România și „Prietenii Coeziunii”

Ireland's EU Council presidency proposed an 8% budget cut for 2028-2034 to appease Germany, while protecting agricultural subsidies. The proposal includes a reduction of €122 billion compared to previous plans, leading to potential tensions among EU leaders. The document faces criticism for not addressing the needs of frugal states and failing to prepare the EU for future challenges. Additionally, Ireland maintained five proposed taxes aimed at generating revenue, despite pressure for changes. Discussions among EU ambassadors are set to take place ahead of a crucial summit, with urgency to reach a budget agreement before upcoming elections in member states.
