Șocul războiului din Iran lovește la Bruxelles. De ce va fi viitorul buget al UE mai mic, în realitate? • Newsweek România

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly the war in Iran, is significantly impacting the EU's financial framework for 2028-2034. Rising energy prices are eroding the purchasing power of the EU budget, leading to a real reduction in available funds. This situation forces a reevaluation of budget allocations, particularly affecting Eastern European countries that rely heavily on cohesion and structural funds. As Western powers advocate for increased austerity, traditional funding areas like agriculture and regional development will face cuts to accommodate new priorities such as defense and border security. The geopolitical instability is reshaping the financial landscape of the EU, necessitating more efficient use of limited resources.
