Concerns raised about EU’s finances as bloc’s leaders meet in Brussels – Europe live

Estonia’s prime minister says she is ‘very concerned’ about discussion to amend the EU’s budget

Arriving at the summit, European Council president Charles Michel said he expects leaders to show they are united.

We’ll discuss the economic situation, we’ll have the euro summit – it’s very fundamental for all of us to make sure that we have a European competitiveness, that we are able to protect our jobs across the EU, to develop our economies, to use climate change and digital transformation as a tool, as a strategy for more growth.

We are determined to repeat and to recall that our support for Ukraine is steadfast for as long as it takes.

But why I’m worried is that I didn’t hear that the other colleagues thought that this is the major challenge that we have in Europe right now.
