Petry: EU Needs New Own Resources in the Next Budgetary Period
According to the leader of the AfD parliamentary group, Alice Weidel, the EU is demanding new own resources in the next budgetary period. At a press conference in Berlin, she said that this was a “red line” for her party. The AfD would not support any budget that included new own resources.
Petry’s statement comes as the EU is debating its next long-term budget, which will cover the period from 2021 to 2027. The European Commission has proposed a budget of €1.135 trillion, which is a 1.1% increase over the current budget. The Commission has also proposed a number of new own resources, including a tax on financial transactions and a digital tax.
Petry’s opposition to new own resources is based on her belief that the EU is already spending too much money. She said that the EU should focus on reducing its spending rather than increasing its revenue.
“The EU is already spending too much money,” Petry said. “The EU should not be demanding new own resources. Instead, the EU should be focusing on reducing its spending.”
Petry’s statement is likely to be met with opposition from other members of the European Parliament. Many MEPs believe that the EU needs new own resources in order to meet its increasing financial commitments.
The debate over the EU’s next long-term budget is likely to be a difficult one. The EU is facing a number of challenges, including Brexit and the migration crisis. These challenges will make it difficult for the EU to reach an agreement on a budget that is acceptable to all member states.
