Merkel To Meet EP Pres. Tomorrow To Discuss MFF

EUROPEAN PRESS

Dave Keating tweets "Angela Merkel (in her role as holder of the rotating EU
presidency of the Council) will hold talks with @EP_President David Sassoli
tomorrow to discuss next steps for #MFF budget, which MEPs must still
approve. A sign of respect to the parliament, but will it result in changes?"

  • Leaders of political groups within the European Parliament have raised
    significant objections to the MFF on the basis of reductions to amounts
    of cash provided for various projects compared to original Commission
    proposal (even though proposed amounts are larger than current spending).
  • European Parliament has to approve MFF before it can be ratified.
