INTERVIEW Siegfried Muresan: Main objective is to adopt strong EU budget by year end

AGERPRES special correspondent to Brussels Tudor Martalogu reports: The main objective is to adopt on time, by the end of the year, a solid budget of the European Union, which will ensure the payment of all the expenses from European funds planned for next year, and in the negotiations I will defend the interests of Romanians, but also those of the people of all the other member states and I will also take into account the priorities of the European Union as a whole, said Siegfried Muresan, Vice-President of the European People's Party's Group in the European Parliament, appointed on Tuesday as the European Parliament's general rapporteur (chief negotiator) for the 2024 EU budget, in an interview with AGERPRES.

The Romanian MEP argued that, in a context where the EU budget resources are limited in relation to the needs, any possible cuts proposed by some member states should be avoided, as it is extremely important that the budget is sufficient for all categories of beneficiaries.

Moreover, in all those areas where increases are necessary and justified, I want to obtain increases in European funds for beneficiaries in Romania and all EU member states, explained Muresan.
