Thomas Byrne, Ireland’s Minister of State for European Affairs and Defence, said EU countries had moved “closer together” in their efforts to reach an agreement on the bloc’s long-term budget.
ADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENTDespite tensions at the latest European Council meeting, Byrne believes EU leaders will manage to reach an agreement on the long-term budget by Christmas, as they had originally committed to do.
