Lawmakers warn EU leaders: No budget reform, no deal

EurActiv reported on 14 June 2012 that MEPs pleaded for a reform of the EU budget and warned European leaders that if no agreement is reached on boosting resources, the Parliament will not adopt the new multi-annual financial framework (MFF) for 2014-2020.

The European Parliament meeting in Strasbourg on 13 June 2012 approved by a large majority the assembly’s position for the long-term budget. The complex package refered to 60 legislative proposals and demanded member states to agree on giving the EU its own resources to better match its 2020 strategic goals.
