"The Parliament does not demand 'more money'; we request resources that correspond to the responsibilities imposed by the EU. This requires courage and a serious decision regarding the introduction of new sources of revenue by member states, based on all proposals on the table, in accordance with the basket approach to revenue. We are ready to work with the Council for a balanced outcome. However, member states must respect the will of the citizens, expressed through this Parliament, and the current negotiation framework does not provide an adequate basis for our discussions," said Carla Tavares (S&D, Portugal). #bugetUE #ParlamentulEuropean #reducerebugetară (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)
