A senior German government official, closely connected to the chancellor, stated on Tuesday that the focus at the upcoming EU leaders summit should be on the productivity problem rather than distractions. The official noted the importance of more investment but emphasized its relevance within the Multiannual Financial Framework, discussing the EU’s budget for 2028-2034, which is currently under negotiation. Germany’s dismissal of Macron’s proposal came before an EU leaders retreat on competitiveness scheduled for Thursday at a Belgian castle. While no definitive outcomes are expected, leaders aim to set priorities for a March summit in Brussels. Germany is advocating for deepening the single market, accelerating trade agreements, and reducing bureaucracy. On competitiveness, Merz has parted ways with Macron’s protectionist stance, aligning more with Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. The German government also urged for significant EU budget reforms, criticizing the current budget allocation and calling for member states seeking new funding to engage in these reforms. The official warned of the consequences of European over-indebtedness.
