European leaders were in vain at the summit trying to figure out what to do with the budget. The European Parliament did not accept the compromise agreement that they accepted.
AFP reported that the MPs did not accept the draft budget. They demanded additional negotiations.
The parliamentarians demanded that the budget funds be increased to be spent on climate protection and the Erasmus + student program. In addition, they approached the EC with a proposal to provide specific timetables for the introduction of new charges in the EU, such as the digital tax.
