European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has congratulated President Nikos Christodoulides and Cyprus for the work carried out during the island's Presidency of the EU Council, and in particular for the work carried out leading to a provisional agreement being reached on the next MMF.
The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) sets out the maximum annual amounts that the EU can spend each year in various policy areas.
In a post on X, von der Leyen said, "Excellent news from the Council on the next MFF. A provisional agreement has been found for the Council position on key building blocks for the EU budget. I just congratulated President Nikos Christodoulides for his leadership and the hard work of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union. There is still work to do but the direction is clear. Member States support the Commission’s ambition for a simpler and modern EU budget. One that invests in Europe’s priorities such as competitiveness, security, agriculture, cohesion and its global role."
