"Estonia is satisfied with the results achieved at the European Council meeting and we don't wish to see radical changes in the budgetary plan. At the same time it is understandable that the European Parliament has its own role at the European Union budget talks that has to be respected," said EU affairs committee chairman Arto Aas.
Aas said that in the Europarliament positions, there aren’t any positions that would be completely unacceptable for Estonia but he said that it is a bit premature to calculate revenues from financial transactions tax into the budget as own means.
Aas said that active talks are expected over the next three months and that the budget would be agreed upon by summer. "We are optimistic about that," he said.
