(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, FEBRUARY 17 - "The contribution of the
Member States to the European budget for 2021-2027 must remain
stable at 1% of the EU's average gross national income,"
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz reiterated in an article
published in the Financial Times the position of the so-called
'four frugal' (Austria, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands) a
few days ahead of the extraordinary EU summit.
A contribution "of 1% means more money, in nominal terms than
the current financial framework," Kurz wrote, confirming the
will of the four states to allocate "a significantly higher
share" to innovation and competitiveness, fight against climate
change and security, removing resources from "established
policies", including agriculture and cohesion.(ANSA).
