The Parliament’s move signals a growing divide with the Commission, and a wider shift in EU budget politics. Real budget maximisation appears to sit with the Parliament rather than the Commission. #MFF #EUbudget
POLITICO Europe@politico.eu · 3mo ago🚨 BREAKING: The European Parliament today voted in favor of making the bloc’s next seven-year budget 10 percent higher than a proposal from the European Commission, which would take EU spending to more than €2 trillion.

Buongiorno!

First, size: The COM proposes an overall size of 1.26% of EU GNI or about 1.8 tn euros in today's prices (don't use the bigger 2tn number in current prices, it messes with your head and makes it impossible to shift sums around between years and items). This is a very moderate increase in size.

The pretty concise position paper of the new German government on the next long term EU budget aka MFF just dropped. It lends clear support to the Commission's bold reform ideas on the MFF architecture while unsurprisingly also remaining German in a few crucial areas. Here are the main elements:
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said yesterday she is ready to abandon her country's traditionally thrifty stance on the EU budget in the face of the threat posed by Russia.
Denmark to drop ‘frugal’ stance on EU budget to counter threat from Russia
The Danish leader argued that Europe needs more funds to bolster its defenses and counter the threat from Russia.

Maybe I am missing something but what would be the (legal) basis for a reallocation of RRF money to defense?
Ulrike Franke@rikefranke.bsky.social · last yr.“The European Commission is set to approve Poland’s request to shift almost €6 billion in EU post-Covid funding from green projects to defense, one EU and one Polish government official told POLITICO.” www.politico.eu/article/eu-p...
More funds will be redirected from EU cohesion funds. After the Recovery and Resilience Facility, this seems to the next step away from a conventional understanding of cohesion policy in the TFEU.

Commission president Von der Leyen has just said she wants to activate a "escape clause for defense investment" in the EU fiscal rules. Such a clause does not exist. An overview onwhat it could mean and why we are entering (another) risky field here:

My pre-accounced piece in @prospectmagazine.co.uk is out today. I returned to regular op-Ed writing for "Super Election Year 2024" and this is the Grand Finale. I am very proud of this piece, and hope it is read, but will return to (much) lower profile next year. A quick thread on the key points. 🧵
Democracy is in a doom spiral—but it isn’t dead yet
