Finance Minister Marterbauer to Present Budget Next Week in National Council

A current hour or question hour traditionally does not take place at the beginning of the budget debates. After the debate in the plenary, the double budget will be referred to the Budget Committee for further consultation. The final votes in the committee are scheduled for June 11, while the final vote on the budget is planned for June 18.

Amendment to the Animal Protection Act in the National Council

Due to a deadline, the National Council will also definitely vote on an amendment to the Animal Protection Act on Tuesday. This could implement the new regulation of the transition period for the ban on fully slatted floors in pig farming announced by the government. On Friday, the matter was still being dealt with in the Health Committee. Furthermore, on Tuesday, the 2023 Ethnic Groups Report, an EU report by Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP), and a joint resolution proposal by ÖVP, SPÖ, and NEOS for a separate coordination office for commemorative years and anniversaries of the Republic of Austria are up for discussion. On Wednesday, the only agenda item is the so-called First Reading of the federal financial laws for the years 2025/26.
