Summary
Valdis Dombrovskis, the European Commission's economy chief, acknowledged that reaching a deal on the EU's next long-term budget (2028-2034) will be difficult due to major differences among member states. The Commission proposed a €2 trillion spending programme, but "frugal" Northern states like Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden are pushing for cuts deeper than the 2% reduction suggested by Cyprus (current EU presidency). The debate centers on how to reduce the proposed budget, with MEPs demanding a bigger budget while many capitals want to spend less.
