Kort sammanfattning 17-10-2019

During the October II plenary session, the European Parliament is due to decide on amendments to the Council's position on the draft EU budget for 2020. The report of the Committee on Budgets reverses the cuts proposed by the Council, with the exception of funds for Turkey. Furthermore, it proposes a considerable increase in the contributions of the 2020 budget to the fight against climate change, and increases appropriations for a number of Parliament's other priorities, to make 2020 a bridge to future EU policies and to provide European added value.
