At this point, there is a proposal on the table from the Commission, which, in the long-term budget comes out to 1.074 billion euros. That is only a few tens of billions of dollars more than the previous budget. The negotiations for the MULTIANNUAL financial framework are known to be a difficult process.

This is the case for the Netherlands, is an important prerequisite for an agreement on the next MULTIANNUAL financial framework.
