A large majority, the European Parliament supports the EU's budget (yet)

in A majority in the European Parliament (EP) last Thursday, before a resolution is voted on in which the deal on the Eu's multi-annual budget will be rejected. Government, during the past week, after four days to agree on the budget, and the coronaherstelfonds, but the EP was not happy with it.

out Of the 682 members of parliament present voted in favour of no less than 465 members of parliament in favour of the resolution. The resolution is not legally binding, but it is what the flag is. The European Council, where heads of government in europe, with the support of the Parliament, however, is necessary in order for the budget to set up.

The most common complaint is the size, and the use of the multi-annual budget that, from 2021 to 2027 is running. Under the agreement, the government's long-term budget slightly decreased compared to the previous proposals, and the reduction of countries such as the Netherlands, the contribution is increased, which is something prime minister Mark Rutte in the netherlands for a strong case.

The flip side of this is that the new budget has been cut in the budget for innovation, sustainability, and climate change. Parts of the EP just have a deeper wallet for it or not. "With the budget cuts to the multiannual budget deal against the aims and objectives of the EU", is to be read in the resolution, referring to projects such as the Green Deal and the Digital Agenda.

in addition, is threatening the Parliament with the budget is to be blocked if there is no agreement about the new own resources for the EU as a digitaks. And the EP is not that the EU funding will go to countries in which the rule of law is not enforced.

The European Parliament will, in consultation with the government, under the leadership of Charles-Michel, on the possible changes to the budget. The actual vote in Strasbourg on the eu budget, it will only be in the direction of October be.
