Irish EU presidency seeks 8% cut to 2028-2034 budget plan
Original: EU's Irish presidency wants 8% cut to proposed 2028-2034 budget plan
Ireland, holding the European Union's rotating presidency, is pushing for an 8% reduction to the European Commission's proposed budget for 2028-2034. The move signals growing resistance among member states to the size of the next long-term EU spending plan, with negotiations over the multiannual financial framework expected to be contentious. Officials and observers are watching how far the presidency's intervention will reshape the Commission's proposal.
Why now: Negotiations over the EU's next long-term budget are a major political issue, and the Irish presidency's demand for cuts signals a significant fight over spending levels.
