爱尔兰欧盟轮值主席国希望将2028-2034年预算方案削减8%作者：Jan Strupczewski 和 Foo Yun Chee布鲁塞尔，10月10日 - 爱尔兰欧盟轮值主席国周六提出将欧盟委员会2028至2034年预算方案削减8%，至1.6万亿欧元（1.79万亿美元），引发一些节俭成员国的批评，认为这一削减幅度不够深。
EU's Irish presidency wants 8% cut to proposed 2028-2034 budget plan By Jan Strupczewski and Foo Yun Chee BRUSSELS, Oct 10 - The Irish EU presidency proposed on Saturday an 8% cut in the European Commission's budget plan for the period 2028 to 2034 to €1.6 trillion ($1.79 trillion), drawing criticism from more frugal member states that the reduction is not deep enough.
爱尔兰的提议仍比目前2021至2027年的预算高出30%。欧盟预算是该27国集团主要政策的主要融资来源。
The Irish proposal still marks a 30% increase over the bloc's current budget, which runs from 2021 to 2027. The EU budget is the main source of financing for all of the 27-country bloc's main policies.
欧盟委员会作为欧盟执行机构表示，该集团需要在国防和提升欧洲竞争力方面增加支出，而一些成员国则希望保留大部分支出以支持农业和区域发展。
The Commission, the EU executive, has said the bloc needs to spend more on defence and boosting European competitiveness, while some member states want to retain most of the expenditure to support farming and regional development.
“谈判框架方案在委员会原始提案基础上实现了8%的节约，即1410亿欧元，”爱尔兰表示，作为目前欧盟六个月轮值主席国，爱尔兰指的是其妥协方案。
"The Negotiating Box provides savings of 8%, or €141 billion, on the Commission's original proposal," said Ireland, current holder of the EU's six-month rotating presidency, referring to its compromise proposal.
爱尔兰将委员会原始的2万亿欧元数字，根据2025年价格并考虑七年期内的通胀因素进行调整后得出1.76万亿欧元，由此得出8%的削减幅度。爱尔兰称该方案旨在平衡 competing 需求“正如我们所见，谈判框架方案旨在弥合成员国之间的诸多分歧，”爱尔兰部长托马斯·伯恩在新闻发布会上表示。
Ireland put the Commission's original €2 trillion figure adjusted for inflation over the seven-year period at €1.76 trillion based on 2025 prices, which resulted in an 8% reduction. IRELAND SAYS PLAN SEEKS TO RECONCILE COMPETING DEMANDS "As we see it, the negotiating box acts to bridge the many differences between the member states," Irish minister Thomas Byrne told a press conference.
“它使我们更接近解决预算三难困境，既要讨论如何最好地为竞争力、研究、创新、安全和国防等新优先事项融资，同时又要兼顾核心政策，”他说。
"It brings us closer to resolving the budgetary trilemma, addressing the talks of how best to finance new priorities in competitiveness, research, innovation, security and defence while at the same time addressing core policies," he said.
该方案提出，在委员会自身数据的基础上，将区域发展、农业和渔业的支出削减3%——这是预算中的最大支出项目——以及将竞争力和安全领域的支出削减13%。
The proposal sets out a 3% cut in spending on regional development, agriculture and fisheries from the Commission's own figures — the biggest outlay in the budget — and a 13% reduction in spending on competitiveness and security.
它预见将通过关税收入衍生出550亿欧元的新融资选项，其中包括欧盟各国政府向企业出售碳排放许可证所得收入的一部分，以及在欧盟运营的大型企业每年缴纳的一次性款项等其他来源。
It foresees €55 billion in new financing options derived from customs duties, a share of the cash EU governments get from selling CO2 emissions permits to companies and an annual lump-sum contribution from large companies operating in the EU, among other sources.
德国总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨与来自瑞典和荷兰的部长们一起——这三个国家均为欧盟预算的净贡献国——对爱尔兰的提案提出批评。"欧盟预算必须对承担主要融资负担的国家来说是负担得起的，"他说。
Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz joined ministers from Sweden and the Netherlands - all three countries are net contributors to the budget - in criticising the Irish proposal. "The EU budget must be affordable for those who bear the main burden of financing it," he said.
然而，欧洲议会的议员们希望将委员会的2万亿欧元提案增加10%，他们表示，爱尔兰的计划将削弱欧洲，且无法获得他们的支持。
However, lawmakers in the European Parliament, which wants a 10% increase in the Commission's €2 trillion proposal, said the Irish plan would weaken Europe and would not win their consent.
欧盟领导人将于10月15日至16日在布鲁塞尔讨论爱尔兰的提案。欧盟预算，即多年度财政框架，需要得到所有27个成员国的同意。
EU leaders will discuss the Irish proposal in Brussels on October 15 to 16. The EU budget, which is known as the Multiannual Financial Framework, needs to be agreed by all 27 member states.
