Professor Alan Matthews looks critically at multi-year EU budget proposals which have reached the European Parliament: https://capreform.eu/europes-e1-8t-budget-fight-just-got-real/
Matthew notes: 'This calls for increased MFF expenditure of 55% in real terms compared to the current MFF (where the Commission proposes an increase of 41%, in both cases including repayment of the NGEU loan). I find increases of this magnitude implausible, raising the question where reductions in the Commission's budget proposal might be made. We will see the Council's opening gambit when the Cyprus Presidency submits the first version of the negotiating box with figures to the June meeting of the European Council.'
