Brussels \u2013 Ireland supports the negotiated compromise \u2013 the so-called \u2018nego-box\u2019<\/a> \u2013 on the EU\u2019s multiannual financial framework (MFF 2028\u20132034), drawn up during its term as President of the Council of the EU. It matters little that some Member States, the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Committee of the Regions, and the agricultural and industrial sectors do not agree with the proposed solutions<\/a>. \u201cWe now have a basis for negotiation,\u201d the Irish Minister of State for European Affairs, Thomas Byrne,<\/strong> said<\/a> today (13 October) at a press briefing on the sidelines of the General Affairs Council meeting, \u201cand we have done our job.\u201d <\/p>\n

Byrne stressed that his country is not aiming to<\/strong> “lay the foundations for a final agreement,\u201d<\/strong> which will come at a later stage with the President of the European Council, but rather to prepare the ground.<\/strong> The solution proposed by the current EU Council presidency envisages further reductions to those already proposed by the Cypriot government<\/a>, which held the EU Council presidency before Dublin. According to the minister, \u201cwe have brought the Member States\u2019 positions closer together\u201d and, while acknowledging that \u201cvarious statements are circulating, the reality is that now is the time to negotiate,\u201d he said, postponing the discussion until Thursday (15 October) to coincide with the meeting of the 27 EU heads of state for the European Council. <\/p>\n

When it was pointed out to him that countries such as the Netherlands, but above all Germany<\/a>, are not supporting the Irish compromise, Byrne replied that \u201cin fact, the German Chancellor has taken note of the proposal and has not rejected it as a basis for an agreement.<\/strong>\u201d For this reason, he believes that, unlike the \u201cCyprus negotiation proposal, which many Member States rejected,\u201d the Irish proposal \u201cwill not suffer the same fate.\u201d On the contrary, \u201cI think we are becoming more realistic.\u201d No one \u201cwill get everything they want, but let\u2019s hope there is something for everyone,\u201d he said, urging that \u201ca final agreement be reached by the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
