Parliament approves the Council position on Draft amending budget No 5/2024, which adjusts payment appropriations, updates revenues, and introduces budget lines for the Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism. The resolution welcomes increased payments for the European Regional Development Fund and the Common Agricultural Policy, notes that fines cover most payment needs, and calls for swift adoption of own resources reform.
