Ireland Leads Push for 8% Cut to EU Long-Term Budget
Original: EU Budget Showdown: Irish Presidency Seeks 8% Cut to 2028–2034 Spending Plan
Ireland, holding the EU Council presidency, has proposed cutting the EU's 2028–2034 long-term budget by roughly 8%, setting up a confrontation with the European Commission, which had put forward a larger spending plan, and with member states reliant on agricultural and regional funds. The proposal marks the opening of negotiations expected to define EU priorities for the next seven-year cycle.
Why now: The EU's next multiannual financial framework is under negotiation, and disagreements over its size affect farming, regional and defence funding across member states.
