EU Parliament Votes Ambitious Budget

France Culture Strasbourg 14d14d Impact 5

Sikfrid Mouré-San, a Romanian member of the European People's Party, is calling for the adoption of an ambitious European Union budget covering the 2028-2034 period. The proposed budget is estimated at 2,000 billion euros. Mouré-San described the budget as a document that translates political projects into figures. The call was made during proceedings in Strasbourg. Social-democrat rapporteur Carla Tavares argues that EU member states must invest collectively in energy independence, food security, and cybersecurity. Tavares stated that these issues cannot be addressed by member states individually. The call for investment serves as a response to far-right movements seeking to reduce national contributions to the European budget. The European Parliament voted on Tuesday for an ambitious budget to fund European priorities.

The European Parliament voted on Tuesday for an ambitious budget to fund European priorities. This budget is 10% higher than the initial proposal made by the European Commission. Carla Tavares, a Portuguese Socialist MEP and co-rapporteur of the text, stated that the difference is the price and said the need for a financial framework. The vote occurred in Strasbourg in opposition to the Commission's original proposal.

“le rapporteur du texte au Parlement européen, le roumain Sikfrid Mouré-San, membre du Parti populaire européen à droite. Le budget est certes un document technique, mais à ses yeux, il traduit surtout en chiffre des projets très politiques.”

France Culture

“Aucun de ces enjeux ne peut être traité par les États membres, chacun de son côté. Comme une réponse aux extrêmes droites qui appellent au contraire, réduire les contributions nationales des États membres au budget européen, au contraire, selon l'autre rapporteur social-démocrate du budget, la portugaisse Carla Tavares.”

France Culture
