Own resources should be increased by an additional EUR 60 billion per year.

Omissions

• The figure of EUR 60 billion per year refers to the European Parliament's position on new own resources for the MFF 2028-2034 period, not necessarily an increase that has been finalized. The claim does not mention that this is part of the ongoing negotiations for the next multiannual financial framework (2028-2034), not the current budget period.
