Continued support to Moldova and Ukraine remains a priority for the EU budget in 2024 - Siegfried Muresan.
This was announced by the chairman of the European Parliament delegation to the EU-Moldova Parliamentary Association Committee, who was appointed on May 23 as the chief negotiator of the European Parliament on the EU budget for 2024. “As the chief negotiator, I will have two main goals: to vote for a strong budget that will cover all funding needs for 2024 and take it on time. It will also be a priority for me to continue supporting Ukraine and Moldova. We can ensure peace and security in the European Union only if we quickly and adequately support these two countries in the face of any threats from the Russian Federation. I will negotiate so that support for Ukraine and Moldova comes from clear, predictable sources, without much loss of time to agree on allocations and without affecting traditional EU priorities such as cohesion, economic development, support for entrepreneurs and farmers,” Siegfried Mureşan wrote on his page on the social network. Speaking about farmers in the European Union, he noted that they have suffered greatly from the consequences of the war in Ukraine. “That is why, as chief negotiator of the EU budget for 2024, I will ensure that we have enough funds under the Common Agricultural Policy, including the Agricultural Sector Emergency Fund, to quickly support farmers in the EU in the face of current crises” , he noted.//23.05.2023 — InfoMarket.
