With the Commission proposal, cohesion, agriculture and fisheries represent only 45% of the budget

Omissions

• Two independent sources or one primary source confirming the exact 45% figure could not be found.
• The official Commission MFF proposal document (COM/2025/570 final) would be required to verify the exact percentage allocation.
• The European Parliament study on the MFF proposal (PE 776.029, March 2026) likely contains the detailed breakdown but was not fully accessible.
• The MEP could have known about this proposal as it was published in July 2025, well before the April 2026 session date.
