The EU budget proposal for 2028-2034 suggests a reduction of €159 billion compared to the initial plan, focusing cuts on economic competitiveness and external aid while protecting funds for agriculture and regional development. This proposal, presented by Ireland, aims to facilitate negotiations among member states divided over budget priorities. Key contributors like Germany express dissatisfaction, deeming the cuts insufficient. The proposal also maintains funding for the Common Agricultural Policy and cohesion policy, crucial for countries like Romania. As discussions continue, the EU faces challenges in balancing new priorities with existing financial commitments, including pandemic recovery costs.
