Siegfried Mureșan vrea creșterea bugetului UE pentru agricultură și proiecte de dezvoltare finanțate printr-o taxă specială pentru giganții tehnologici / România ar primi mai multe fonduri europene, 66 de miliarde de euro față de 60 de miliarde

Siegfried Mureșan advocated for a 10% increase in the EU's future budget during a Council meeting in Dublin, which could raise Romania's funding from 60 to 66 billion euros. To support this increase without burdening national budgets, the European Parliament suggests a digital tax on large tech companies. Mureșan emphasized the need for a robust budget to address both traditional and new geopolitical challenges. The proposed budget aims to enhance funding for agriculture and cohesion policies while also addressing security and economic competitiveness. The negotiations will depend on the Irish Presidency's actions, with a final agreement sought by the end of the year.
