After many hours and an endless sequence of meetings and meetings, the final agreement on the EU budget 2014-2020 she has arrived. “Deal done! The European Council approved the budget for the rest of the decade. It was worth the wait." This is the text of the tweet sent by the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, at the end of the meeting in Brussels between the heads of state and government of the EU.
Agreement was reached on a second (downward) compromise draft revised by Van Rompuy after a technical break in the morning. According to European sources, the overall lines do not differ in substance from those spread with the first draft.
