This bulletin is a comparative analysis of the French and German positions in the scope of the Multiannual Financial Framework proposal. It shows numerous similarities between their negotiation positions as Both countries would like to decrease the budget proposed by the European Commission, call for high financing of direct payments in the scope of the Common Agriculture Policy, and postulate the abolition of the British rebate. The author suggests Poland should use the official positions of France and Germany to start discussion devoted to the financial perspective during the next General Affairs Council.
