EU budget talks for 2019 collapse
By EUobserver
The negotiations between the Council of the EU - representing national governments - and the European Parliament for the 2019 budget ended Monday without agreement. They failed to reach a compromise by the legal deadline. The European Commission will now have to present a new draft budget. MEP Daniele Viotti called it "just a technical pause". Council negotiator Hartwig Loger said he was "confident" of a deal before year's end.
