Germany and Austria consider new EU budget debate

Germany and Austria have started a debate on whether the EU should launch a new debate on its budget before it enlarges to twelve new members. Austrian Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser said that it would be advantageous for Austria to start a new EU budget debate soon because it will be difficult to get 27 members to agree to a new financial system.
