MEPs Gear up to Scrutinise 2008 Jobs and Growth Budget
added: 2007-10-18
MEPs meeting next week in Strasbourg will have the task of adopting the EU's draft 2008 budget as it receives its first reading on Tuesday. For the first time ever there is more money allocated for growth and job creation than for agriculture. The EP's Budget Committee has already looked at the € 129 billion proposals and called for more funding for the Galileo satellite system, the planned European Technology Institute and the EU's commitments in Kosovo and the Palestinian territories.
