The leader of the French National Party, Marine Le Pen, is in Brussels for a meeting of the European Council of Ministers. She is expected to discuss the 'Green Deal' with the European Commission, which wants to reduce the amount of money spent on the EU budget.

The European Commission has said it will consider the proposal if it is approved by the European Court of Human Rights. The EU Commission is also considering a proposal by the Dutch government to cut the budget for the European Union by 20% to 20%.
