Key Points: 
  • MEPs underlined that Parliament will only give its consent to a budget that meets the European Unions ambitions, in a debate on EU funding for 2021-2027.
  • Implementing the Green Deal with a reduced budget, for example, would mean cutting successful EU programmes elsewhere, MEPs highlighted.
  • Some said that certain EU policies need to be assessed more thoroughly, and that more spending discipline is needed.
  • In addition, introducing new sources of revenue (Own Resources) for the EU and linking the EU budget to the respect of rule of law are key for MEPs.
