德国总理默茨：现行欧盟预算提案必须进一步削减 预计11月加开理事会
柏林——德国总理 Friedrich Merz上周五在布鲁塞尔对记者表示，欧盟当前的预算提案必须进一步削减，预计11月将加开一次欧洲理事会会议专门处理此事。他说，他希望在今年年底前达成预算协议，但不确定能否实现。
争议焦点是欧盟2028至2034年长期预算（多年财政框架）。爱尔兰轮值主席国提出的修订方案已引起多个成员国不满：瑞典首相 Ulf Kristersson同周表示瑞典将拒绝该提案，希腊总理 Kyriakos Mitsotakis亦称希腊对修订后的长期预算提案不满意。
默茨的表态意味着，作为欧盟最大出资国之一的德国，将在接下来的谈判中推动压缩开支规模。预算谈判通常需要全体成员国一致同意，11月的加开会议能否弥合分歧，将决定协议能否按默茨所希望的在年底前达成。（GSM 据路透社报道）
Germany's Merz Says EU Budget Proposal Must Be Cut Further
BERLIN — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday in Brussels that the current European budget proposal must be cut further and that an additional European Council meeting is expected in November. He hopes a budget deal can be reached before the end of this year, but he is not sure it will happen, Merz told journalists.
The dispute centres on the EU's long-term budget for 2028 to 2034, the Multiannual Financial Framework. The revised proposal put forward by the Irish presidency of the EU Council has already drawn objections from several member states: Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said the same week that Sweden would reject the proposal, and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Greece was not satisfied with it either.
Merz's remarks signal that Germany, one of the bloc's largest contributors, will push to shrink the spending plan in the talks ahead. EU budget deals require unanimity among member states, and whether the extra November meeting can close the gaps will decide if an agreement is possible by year-end as Merz hopes.
