Following are some reactions to the European Commission's proposal on Wednesday for a 2 trillion euro ($2.31 trillion) EU budget for 2028-2034. The proposal places a new emphasis on economic competitiveness and defence while aiming to reform the rules around farm and economic development subsidies.

The European Union's financial capabilities depend on this bill, which was presented to members of the European Parliament on Wednesday. It sets the amount of available resources for seven years, distributes them among the 27 member states and allocates funds to the various EU-wide policies.

The German government said it won't accept a proposal by the European Commission to boost the long-term EU budget to a total volume of €2 trillion ($2. 3 trillion) for the years 2028 to 2034.
