The draft amending budget No 2/2025 updates the revenue side of the EU budget, including own resources, and adjusts expenditure for certain items.

Parliament approved the Council's position on the draft amending budget, meaning the spending was approved.

The update includes lower estimates for customs duties, VAT bases, and plastic waste, but a higher gross national income base, and adjusts the UK contribution and fines.
