Costa wants the member states to reach an agreement this year – a point acknowledged by the member states in the conclusions of the June summit – as next year it may become more difficult due to various elections (the largest being in France, Italy, and Poland, but there will also be elections in Estonia, Finland, Greece, and Slovakia). This would be especially challenging if, for example, Marine Le Pen were to become the French president, as she has already promised to halve France's contribution. #EurópaiUnió #költségvetés #EUcsúcs (translated)
