奥地利总理、奥地利人民党（OVP）成员克里斯蒂安·施托克尔周一威胁要否决欧盟预算提案。
Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker of the Austrian People's Party (OVP) threatened on Monday to veto the EU budget proposal.
施托克尔对德国《世界报》表示：“奥地利有一条痛觉阈值。如果超过这个痛觉阈值，我将不会同意。”
Speaking to the German daily newspaper Die Welt, Stocker said, “There is a pain threshold for Austria. If this pain threshold is exceeded, I will not agree.”
虽然施托克尔没有具体说明维也纳的“痛觉阈值”在哪里，但他指出：“只有新提案切合实际，妥协才有可能。”
Although Stocker did not specify exactly where Vienna’s “pain threshold” lies, he did point out that “a compromise will only be possible if the new proposal is realistic.”
施托克尔专门批评欧盟委员会要求增加2500个文职人员的要求“完全不合理，脱离现实”。他说：“我们在奥地利正在削减2600个行政职位。”他期望欧盟机构也这样做。
Stocker specifically criticized the European Commission’s demand for 2,500 additional civil service positions as “completely unreasonable and out of touch with reality.”“We are cutting 2,600 administrative positions in Austria,” the chancellor said. He expects EU institutions to do the same.
施托克尔接着说，如果通过未来的裁员来遏制官僚主义，那对他来说再好不过。
If bureaucracy is curtailed through future staff reductions, that would suit him just fine, Stocker continued.
奥地利目前正处于欧盟赤字程序之下，必须整顿自身预算。因此，施托克尔表示，他期望布鲁塞尔保持财政纪律，高效利用资源。欧盟2028年至2034年的财政框架必须经成员国一致通过。
Austria is currently subject to an EU deficit procedure and must consolidate its own budget. Therefore, Stocker said, he expects Brussels to exercise fiscal discipline and use its resources efficiently. The EU's financial framework for 2028 through 2034 must be approved unanimously by the member states.
欧盟委员会提议未来七年总预算为1.985万亿欧元（约合2.226万亿美元）。
The European Commission had proposed a total budget of €1.985 trillion ($2.226 trillion) for the next seven years.
反对这一财政计划的不仅有奥地利，还有德国、荷兰、芬兰、瑞典和丹麦。
Opposition to this financial plan comes not only from Austria but also from Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark.
