EU 2008 Budget: Decision On €1 Billion Food Aid For Developing Countries Postponed
added: 2008-10-14
Members of the Budgets Committee decided on Monday to postpone their vote on the financing of €1 billion in food aid for the developing countries planned for 2008, a move that would have required an amendment to this year’s budget. They instead accepted a proposal by the Council presidency to "seek an overall solution", not restricted to 2008. This will be the subject of negotiations between the two arms of the budgetary authority on 21 November.
