European affairs ministers met in Brussels on Tuesday for another round of negotiations on the EU’s next seven-year budget. Despite a shared ambition to reach a deal by the end of the year, negotiations appear to have stalled, with significant differences still unresolved.
"This is my fourth [Multiannual Financial Framework] negotiations, so I have to admit that some of the discussions come with a large sense of déjà vu," European Commissioner for the Budget Piotr Serafin said during a debate with EU ministers on Tuesday.
