AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament approved the Council position on Draft amending budget No 1/2025, which enters the 2024 surplus of EUR 1 345 million into the 2025 budget.

The spending was approved, meaning the surplus reduces member states' GNI-based contributions to the 2025 budget.

Parliament calls on the Commission to design a durable budget architecture and urges the Council to adopt new own resources proposals.
