A very good conversation with EP Vice-President Victor Negrescu, the driving force behind the European Parliament’s proposal for a new own resource based on online gambling. A final agreement on an ambitious next long-term #EUbudget depends on progress on the revenue side.

We need an agreement on the next long-term #EUbudget by the end of this year—not because of political calendar, but because we owe certainty to the beneficiaries of the EU budget.

Finishing my visit to Riga 🇱🇻🇪🇺 with a meeting with PM Andris Kulbergs. Here in Latvia the message is clear: the next #EUbudget needs to reflect today’s realities—protecting the EU’s borders, strengthening strategic infrastructure, and investing in resilience and competitiveness.
Pleased to be in Riga 🇱🇻🇪🇺 to discuss our shared European priorities. The next long-term #EUbudget is an opportunity for Europe and Latvia to become stronger in today’s challenging security environment.

We’ve seen how the misuse of veto powers can delay the decisive actions the EU needs in times of crisis. The crisis mechanism in the next #EUBudget, activated through QMV, is one of the ways to address this. Rather than weakening it, we should focus on its strengthening.
Dziś podpisaliśmy na Litwie umowę #SAFE — 6,4 mld euro na obronność 🇱🇹🇪🇺 Today we signed the SAFE loan agreement in Lithuania — €6.4 billion for defence spending 🇱🇹🇪🇺
Investing together in external borders, security and innovation isn’t spending more - it’s spending smarter. If we spend together, we can have more security, stronger borders, and better innovation and research for the same money. #EUBudget
The timely agreement on the MFF is more important than ever. It is an anchor of predictability, providing certainty in an uncertain world. #EUBudget @europarl.europa.eu
