‘EU’s financial credibility is on the line’ – Metsola acknowledges impact of pandemic, inflation, Ukraine war on bloc’s budget

« European Parliament President Roberta Metsola gave a press conference on Tuesday in Strasbourg, addressing the current situation of the EU’s budget.
“There is an urgent need to revise our long term budget,” said Metsola, adding that “EU’s budget is stretched to its limits, we must acknowledge this and we have a duty to react.”
“The [European] Union financial credibility is on the line,” she continued, but vowed to “put our support to Ukraine on a long term and sustainable path” regardless the current difficult situation. »
