The proposal amounts to 1.16% of the EU's gross national income. This review represents a significant increase of more than 30% compared to the volume of the current multiannual financial framework (as the European budget is known), which reaches approximately 47% when taking inflation into account. I want to emphasize that almost all budget programs experience an increase in our negotiation proposal. The Irish Minister for European Affairs and Defense, Thomas Byrne, presented the negotiation proposal stating that the “proposal amounts to 1.16% of the EU's gross national income. This review represents a significant increase of more than 30% compared to the volume of the current multiannual financial framework (as the European budget is known), which reaches approximately 47% when taking inflation into account. I want to emphasize that almost all budget programs experience an increase in our negotiation proposal.” I am convinced that this review of the overall budget volume and the rebalancing of priorities will allow us to respond to the preferences of the Member States and open the door to the next phase of negotiations. #PresupuestoEuropeo #Frugales #Irlanda (translated)
