Some capitals are continuing to look at the EU budget in the way accountants look at balance sheets: how much do I put in; and how much do I get out. This approach was misguided in the past, but with our modern budget it is entirely flawed,” Piotr Serafin, Commissioner for Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration, highlighted that “some capitals are continuing to look at the EU budget in the way accountants look at balance sheets: how much do I put in; and how much do I get out.

“any cuts to the budget, which would weaken Europe in the years ahead, will not be a basis for the consent of the Parliament. This house will not approve a budget that would not allow us to achieve our goals, or that would affect our capacity to react when there are crises, or unexpected developments” Siegfried Mureşan (EPP, Romania), Parliament’s MFF co-rapporteur, warned that “any cuts to the budget, which would weaken Europe in the years ahead, will not be a basis for the consent of the Parliament. This house will not approve a budget that would not allow us to achieve our goals, or that would affect our capacity to react when there are crises, or unexpected developments”. #EUBudget #EU2028 #MFF (translated)

Beim EU-Gipfel wird über den Haushalt 2028-2034 beraten. Die Kommission will 2000 (!) Mrd. Euro, das EU-Parlament sogar noch deutlich mehr. Etwa 500 Mrd. Euro sollen von den Deutschen kommen. Unser Land wird ausgenommen wie eine Weihnachtsgans. Wetten, dass Merz dabei mitmacht? #EUGipfel #Haushalt #EU2028 #DE
