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

Draft amending budget No 2/2026 updates the European Union budget for 2026 by adjusting spending, especially payment appropriations, and updating revenue from own resources and other sources.

Parliament adopted the draft amending budget, which means the spending changes were approved.

Parliament welcomes increased payment appropriations for cohesion programmes and for the Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plans under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, and calls on the Commission to monitor implementation and take measures to avoid running out of payment appropriations.

Parliament also expresses concern about the security situation in the Union's eastern border regions and calls on the Commission to assess the consequences and propose budgetary measures, including a subsequent Draft Amending Budget, and to fund European Maritime Security and Defence Hubs.
