EU budget should respond to new priorities and challenges such as migration, internal and external security, and defense. It must be on boosting economic growth, jobs and skills. A key principle must be that all EU spending generates real EU added value, said Minister of Finance Petteri Orpo at a seminar of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs on Thursday 18 January.
"We need more efficient use of our resources and we need a shift towards a more results-oriented EU-budget that serves our citizens best", said Minister Orpo.
