Thread by @RenewEurope

Today, #EUCO discuss the EU Recovery Fund and the long-term budget (MFF). @CiolosDacian summarised our priorities in @POLITICOEurope:

⚖️ EU money cannot finance illiberalism. Rule of law must be respected

🇪🇺 New own resources at EU level

In Renew Europe, we believe that respecting EU values is not negotiable.

Our MEPs @katka_cseh (🇭🇺) & @sandrogozi (🇫🇷) have a proposal to ensure that:

🚫Autocrats who ignore our values don't get EU money

✅EU funds reach those who need it the most

We should not be fighting for EU values alone. This is a debate that concerns everyone, including the @EPPGroup which remains silent and provides safe harbour to the likes of Viktor Orban

Read @CiolosDacian's take in @EURACTIV

New own resources at EU level will make the European budget (#MFF) and the EU Recovery Fund stronger.

Our MEP @ValerieHayer (🇫🇷) proposed:

✅ Implement the plastics-waste contribution

➕ Introduce two new own resources

Our MEP @lugaricano (🇪🇸) sent a clear message to #EUCO president on the EU Recovery Fund and MFF:

🇪🇺 The @Europarl_EN, as the only institution representing the European citizens directly, must debate and approve the reform plans from Member States

👇🗞️

🇪🇺 At the @Europarl_EN , Renew Europe, as the most pro-European political group, has led the European response to the COVID-19 crisis.

The ball is now in the Council's court, as @CiolosDacian said to Chancellor Merkel last week.
