On 19 October 2015, the Luxembourg Presidency of the Council of the European Unioni signalled a note of caution and realism ahead of the conciliation talks with the European Parliament on the EU budget for 2016. In its position adopted by unanimity on 4 September 2015 the Council set the level of commitments at €153.27 billion and of payments at €142.12 billion. If the Parliament on 28 October confirms the amendments suggested by its committee on budgets these figures would be increased by €4.16 billion in commitments and €4.34 billion in payments. This would far exceed the expenditure ceilings also accepted by the Parliament in the EU's multiannual financial framework for 2014-2020. |
