💢 The EU plans to slash nearly €160 billion from its proposed 2028–2034 budget while preserving €100 billion earmarked for Ukraine.
Under a revised proposal presented by Ireland, which holds the EU Council presidency, the largest reductions target foreign aid and competitiveness programs. Development assistance would lose €38 billion, including funding for Africa and the Middle East, while competitiveness programs, encompassing defense and space, face €75 billion in cuts. Agricultural subsidies and regional funding would be largely protected.
The proposal would reduce the European Commission's nearly €2 trillion budget by around 8%. EU leaders will discuss the revised framework on October 15–16. The cuts have not yet been approved.
