Sixteen European countries are calling for increased investment in regional funds, agriculture and fisheries in the upcoming EU long-term budget for the period 2028–2034, according to a document seen by Euronews.
The paper is signed by Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Spain, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, and Slovakia.
Calling themselves "Friends of Cohesion", they complain in the document about the reduction in funds for the Cohesion Policy, Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which they describe as "the most visible EU policies for EU citizens".
