欧洲议会主席罗伯塔·梅茨拉于周四批评欧洲联盟下一份长期预算案的拟议削减，称在民防、科研和战略基础设施、国防等领域的资金削减与该集团日益严峻的挑战相抵触。
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on Thursday criticized proposed cuts in the EU's next long-term budget, saying reductions in funding for civil protection, research and strategic infrastructure, and defense were incompatible with the bloc's growing challenges.
在布鲁塞尔欧洲理事会峰会期间的新闻发布会上，梅茨拉警告称，这些拟议削减可能破坏新旧政策之间的平衡。
Speaking at a news conference on the sidelines of the European Council summit in Brussels, Metsola warned that the proposed cuts risk undermining the balance between new priorities and traditional EU policies.
“我们不能在谈论欧洲抱负的同时削减实现这些抱负的手段，”她表示。
"We cannot agree on Europe's ambitions and then cut the means to achieve them," she said.
梅茨拉指出，拟议削减包括对民防经费的35%下调、对“地平线”科研计划的10%下调，以及对战略基础设施和国防经费的14%下调。“我们认为，这根本行不通，”她表示。
Metsola highlighted a proposed 35% cut to civil protection funding, a 10% cut to the Horizon research programme, and a 14% cut to funding for strategic infrastructure and defense. "This, in our opinion, doesn't fly for us," she said.
她的发言来自成员国与欧洲议会在下一份多年财政框架（MFF）方面的持续争端，双方就资金优先级及如何为联盟日益增长的抱负筹资存在分歧。
Her remarks came amid an ongoing dispute between member states and the European Parliament on the bloc's next multiannual financial framework (MFF), with disagreements about funding priorities and how to finance the union's growing ambitions.
欧盟旨在于2026年底前达成2028-2034年MFF的政治协议，以便在2027年通过必要的立法程序，确保新预算于2028年1月1日生效。
The EU aims to reach a political agreement on the 2028-2034 MFF by the end of 2026, allowing the necessary legislative acts to be adopted in 2027 and ensuring the new budget takes effect Jan. 1, 2028.
然而，成员国内部的深刻分歧以及与议会的不一致可能会延误时间表。
Deep divisions among member states and disagreements with parliament, however, could complicate the timeline.
梅茨拉表示，议会愿意与欧盟领导人合作达成妥协，但强调议员不会简单地批准成员国达成的协议。
Metsola said parliament was ready to work with EU leaders to reach a compromise but stressed that lawmakers would not simply endorse an agreement reached by member states.
“议会不是橡皮图章，也永远不会是，”她表示，并指出在议会获得必要多数票将面临挑战。
"The parliament is not a rubber stamp and never will be," she said, adding that securing the necessary majority in the assembly would be challenging.
她指出，批准下一份长期预算需要议会获得361票，强调任何协议必须得到直接选举产生的代表的支持。
She noted that approving the next long-term budget would require 361 votes in parliament, stressing that any agreement must have the support of directly elected representatives.
梅特索拉还呼吁引入新的欧盟资金来支持下一阶段的预算编制工作，认为这有助于减轻各国政府的财政压力，并防止这些财务负担被转嫁给后代。
Metsola also urged the introduction of new EU resources to help finance the next budget, saying it would ease pressure on national budgets and prevent the financial burden from being passed on to future generations.
