Draft amending budget No 1/2026 (DAB 1/2026) to the EU’s 2026 general budget seeks to enter the €2.1 billion surplus from the implementation of the 2025 budget as revenue into the 2026 budget. Including the 2025 surplus into the 2026 budget will lead to a corresponding reduction in Member States’ gross national income (GNI) contributions to the 2026 budget. The European Parliament is expected to vote on the Council’s position on DAB 1/2026 during the July plenary session.
