With only three weeks to go until the turn of the year, there is hope in the EU that it will finally be able to launch the next long-term budget for the years 2021-27 and, at the same time, launch the Union’s great crown support.
The long-term budget agreement was made after an unprecedented budget meeting, says SVT correspondent David Boati in Rapport.
– Yesterday, the country of the presidency Germany had a meeting with Poland and Hungary where a compromise was negotiated and now today all the countries have agreed on this, which is why it left, says in the program.
However, there are criticisms that the agreement is a concession to Hungary and Poland, who have threatened to veto the agreement that will ensure that all member states follow the basic principles of the rule of law and democracy.
Stefan Löfven satisfied
However, the compromise that has been drawn up has been accepted by all Member States. In Sweden, the EU committee of the Riksdag already said yes in an additional telephone meeting called Thursday morning.
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven (S) is satisfied.
“For the first time since the EU was formed, a connection is now being made between the principles of the rule of law and the payment of money. It is historic and a great success for Sweden that they have been pushing this for several years,” writes Löfven in a text message to TT from inside the summit. .
The compromise reached, which the Prime Minister only wants to call a clarification, is, among other things, that a declaration must be requested from the Court of Justice of the European Communities before the new rule of law comes into force. Thus, the introduction will be delayed, which has been interpreted as a concession to the two veto-threatening countries, which have parliamentary elections in the coming years.
To ensure a definitive yes, the deal also needs the support of the European Parliament, which is expected to vote on the budget next week. So far, at least the two largest party groups have said yes.
