There is no basis for an agreement because the volume is too high. In the group of net contributor countries, also known as "the Frugal," which met in Brussels on the initiative of Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) before the EU summit on Thursday, there is a "unanimous opinion" that the proposal from the Irish presidency for the next multiannual EU budget "is not a basis for an agreement because the volume is too high," according to Stocker. #EUBudget #EUVerhandlungen #Costa (translated)

Malte Larsen wrote that the EU's upcoming budget proposal could mean that Danes would have to pay an additional 12.7 billion kr. to the EU each year. He claimed that the proposal would expand the EU's bureaucracy and lead to the hiring of thousands more bureaucrats in Brussels. Larsen wrote that the money could instead be used for tax cuts or welfare, and he feared that the government would not reject the budget increase. He referred to Mette Frederiksen having previously called more EU funds "nonsense," but after negotiations with Ursula von der Leyen, she had come back with an extra billion bill for the Danes in the form of a higher EU contribution. According to Larsen, the government now said that it was against a larger EU budget but would not guarantee that the budget would not grow significantly. He wrote that he had himself asked the government about the matter and believed that Denmark was already paying too many tax kroner to an EU that had become too large. He urged the government to reject a significant budget increase and wrote that the Danes should not pay for what he described as the unrealistic ambitions of the EU elite or bail out Southern Europe's economic irresponsibility. #EUbudget #Danmark #Bureaukrati (translated)

An increase in the workforce in the EU institutions at a time when we are reducing staff in our own administrations is not timely.
