Netherlands Opposes New EU Budget: "Simply Not Good Enough"
De nieuwe voorgestelde begroting voor de EU is veel te hoog en richt zich op de verkeerde prioriteiten. Met die boodschap meldt premier Jetten zich vandaag in Brussel voor een overleg met zijn Europese collega's. Op tafel ligt een voorstel van 2000 miljard euro voor de periode van 2028 tot en met 2034, zo'n 285 miljard euro per jaar dus. Het is een enorme verhoging, want de huidige meerjarenbegroting is iets meer dan 1200 miljard. Nederland maakte de afgelopen weken duidelijk
The Netherlands is strongly opposing the proposed new EU budget for the period 2028-2034, deeming it "simply not good enough." Prime Minister Jetten expressed this sentiment in Brussels, criticizing the €2 trillion proposal as too high and misaligned with priorities. This represents a significant increase from the current budget of just over €1.2 trillion. Several like-minded countries share the Netherlands' concerns, advocating for a more modern and fiscally responsible budget. While the latest proposal includes a slight reduction, the Dutch government still finds it unacceptable and unaffordable. Minister Heinen of Finance stated that the proposal demonstrates "how not to do it." The debate centers on the net contributions of member states, with countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Sweden arguing against becoming "money machines" for the EU.
The Netherlands' firm opposition to the proposed EU budget highlights significant disagreements among member states regarding financial priorities and fiscal responsibility within the European Union.
