Brussels prepares salary and staff cuts in the next budget

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 16:58

Brussels is preparing significant cuts in the next long-term budget of the European Union, covering the period from 2028 to 2034. This budget review comes in a context of financial pressure on European institutions.

European Union civil servants' salaries are among the items most vulnerable to reductions. Additionally, other administrative expenses of European institutions are also expected to be affected by these cuts.

The European Commission is analyzing different options to balance the budget, considering that personnel expenses represent a substantial part of the operational costs of European institutions. The specific details about the magnitude of the cuts have not yet been fully defined.

Why this matters

Readers in the region will be affected because these cuts may mean a reduction in administrative services of European institutions and possible impacts on the thousands of EU staff in Brussels and other cities. This is a negotiation within the framework of the next European Union multiannual financial framework.
