Nicușor Dan și Giorgia Meloni, inițiativă comună pentru viitorul buget al UE. 17 state cer menținerea fondurilor pentru agricultură și coeziune. „Vor urma negocieri dure”

Nicușor Dan and Giorgia Meloni lead a joint initiative with 17 EU states to maintain funding for agriculture and cohesion in the upcoming EU budget. Negotiations are expected to be challenging, as the Irish presidency prepares to revise the negotiation framework. The group emphasizes the need to preserve nearly 900 billion euros for cohesion and agricultural policies, while also advocating for additional funds for defense and energy. The EU must reach an agreement by the end of 2026 to avoid funding interruptions, with significant elections in 2027 complicating the process. The 17 states oppose proposed budget cuts and seek to maintain current funding levels.
