What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

European Council President António Costa stated that governments would be more likely to support new EU taxes for the bloc’s next seven-year budget if these levies generated fresh revenue not already collected by national governments. Costa detailed what he had gathered from leaders during his tour of 25 capitals regarding how to build support for these new EU levies, known as 'own resources.' The outcome of these discussions will determine if EU governments can agree on a budget by the end of the year, ahead of 2027 elections in France, Italy, Spain, and Poland.
