The European Commission proposed on 10 February 2004 granting Bulgaria and Romania a fair and balanced share of the EU budget after their accession. Limited to a period of three years, this 'package' of some €15.4 billion in commitments, €9 billion in payments follows the same principles and methodology that were applied for the ten acceding countries which will join the European Union on 1 May 2004. It will now be presented to the Council for a first debate, before the Commission makes in spring more detailed proposals for negotiations called 'draft common positions' in the fields of agriculture, regional policy and budgetary provisions.
