The European Council has penned the figures for the 2014-2020 budget. But they await the final decision of the European Parliament, which is expected to mull them over for some 18 months.

Background
After 26 hours of talks, EU leaders have struck a deal last week (8 February) on the 7-year budget clamoring success, but have set themselves on a collision course with Parliament, which prepares to fight off the decision to cut spending that reflects austerity undertaken by many EU countries.
The EU budget for 2014-2020 is smaller than its predecessor. It goes down to 1% from 1.12% of EU GNI. It is the first net reduction to the EU budget in the Union’s history.
