Prime Minister Rumen Radev and the leaders of 16 European Union Member States called for the preservation of funding for the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy and Cohesion Policy in the next 2028–2034 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the Council of Ministers said in a press release on Monday.
In a joint letter to European Council President Antonio Costa and Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, whose country currently holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU, the European leaders called for funding for Cohesion Policy and the Common Agricultural Policy to be maintained. The letter says that reducing funding would not modernise the EU budget but instead weaken it and risk undermining public support for the European project.
The leaders of the 17 countries, known as the Friends of Cohesion, stressed the importance of the two long-standing policies to economies across the European Union. They promote convergence between countries and regions, strengthen the single market, and contribute to Europe’s competitiveness and food security. The objectives of Cohesion Policy and the Common Agricultural Policy are more relevant than ever, the letter says.
The Member States called for the EU’s new priorities, in the context of growing challenges in security and defence, competitiveness, energy security and resilience, to be supported by adequate additional resources, without this coming at the expense of funding for Cohesion Policy and agriculture.
The countries expressed their readiness to work constructively on the revenue side of the budget, including proposals for new own resources, as well as on other options for securing the funding needed for the EU’s new priorities.
In conclusion, the 17 Member States called on the Irish Presidency to take their position into account when preparing the next Negotiating Framework and expressed their readiness to work towards an ambitious, balanced and adequately funded 2028–2034 Multiannual Financial Framework.
