The revised negotiation framework we present today allows for savings of 141 billion euros compared to the initial proposal from the Commission, while still maintaining a significant increase in relation to the volume of the current Multiannual Financial Framework," announced the Irish Minister for European Affairs, Thomas Byrne, at a press conference in Brussels. #UniãoEuropeia #OrçamentoEuropeu #Irlanda (translated)

"We reject it from the start, as it does not take into account the new priorities" "The European Parliament firmly rejects the cuts proposed by the Irish Presidency of the EU Council to the future multiannual budget of the European Union. The negotiation package regarding the future multiannual budget of the European Union, presented today by the Irish Presidency of the EU Council, ahead of the European Council next week, provides for an 8% reduction compared to the initial budget proposed by the European Commission. At the same time, the proposed package does not consider the moderate 10% increase in the budget voted by the European Parliament in April. As the chief negotiator of the European Parliament, I send a clear message: this negotiation position cannot be accepted by Parliament. We reject it from the start, as it does not take into account either the new priorities, such as defense and competitiveness, or the traditional priorities, such as agriculture and cohesion,” said MEP Siegfried Mureșan in a message posted on his Facebook page on Saturday. #BugetEuropean #Irlanda #Romania (translated)
The Irish presidency of the European Union proposed an 8% reduction of the multiannual budget 2028-2034, a measure vehemently contested by Romania through chief negotiator Siegfried Mureșan. #BugetEuropean #Irlanda #Romania (translated)

"The proposal of the Irish Presidency cannot be the starting point for an agreement. A reduction of 8% of the Commission's proposal, which already maintains the budget only at the level of the current period, would mean weakening our capacity to act, in the context of Europe being asked to do more regarding competitiveness, defense, and security. This would leave Europe less able to protect its citizens and compete economically with the major economies of the world. It would mean underfunding agriculture and reducing support for our regions. National budgets have increased in recent years, while the EU budget has not kept up. Instead, 10% of its purchasing power has disappeared due to high inflation," said Siegfried Mureșan, according to a statement from the European Parliament. #bugetUE #ParlamentulEuropean #reducerebugetară (translated)
