Briefings
Portuguese ministers warn that the upcoming 2028-2034 EU financial framework will create tensions between agriculture and cohesion funds. Agriculture ministers claim cohesion funds are being used to hide cuts, while the EU budget office states cohesion funds are essential for competitiveness. The framework allocates 35.2 billion euros to agriculture and cohesion, representing a nominal 7.6% gain but a real 9.2% loss compared to previous estimates. Key figures include 31.6 billion euros for agriculture and cohesion combined, with 900 million euros reserved for migration and 900 million for the Social Climate Fund. The evidence is limited to parliamentary statements and summaries of negotiations, with uncertainty regarding the final allocation of Cyprus funds and regional disparities.
