Takes note of the EUR 53,76 million in commitments and EUR 52,58 million in payment for agriculture; nonetheless calls for an increase of the budget considering the challenges that the agri-food sector has faced in 2023 and still needs to tackle in 2024; highlights that generally the size of this budget is smaller compared to 2023 in relation to the GNI of the EU and even if the budget 2024 is EUR 2.7 billion more than the one agreed for 2023, the increase does not compensate for high inflation levels;
