Răspunsul lui Siegfried Mureșan la bugetul propus pentru UE: „Ca negociator-șef al Parlamentului European, transmit un mesaj clar”

Siegfried Mureșan, chief negotiator for the European Parliament, firmly rejects the proposed EU budget cuts by the Irish presidency, emphasizing the need for a 10% increase. He argues that the proposed reductions neglect essential priorities like defense and agriculture. Mureșan insists that the Parliament will defend its budgetary gains in upcoming negotiations with the European Commission and Council. He highlights that without the proposed increase, funding for agriculture and cohesion will not meet the actual needs of farmers and regions. He stresses that the EU cannot be expected to do more while cutting its main funding source.
