EU Budget Summit Ended Without Agreement

The disagreements of the EU states on the budget for 2021-2027 were "too big to come to an agreement," summed up Angela Merkel. The heads of state and government of the European Union on Friday, February 21, completed an extraordinary summit in Brussels with no reached agreement on the community budget for 2021-2027. The odds are "still too big to come to an agreement," said German Chancellor Angela Merkel after two days of negotiations. The head of the German government did not name the possible date for the next summit, but stressed that "it will be necessary to return (to the budget problem. - Ed.)." Charles Michel, President of the European Council, in turn, explained that European leaders "need more time." “As my grandmother said, to succeed, you need to try,” he joked.
