The consultation period runs until the 6 May 2025 (closing at midnight Brussels time) and is part of the wider consultation on the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).
By Matthaios TsimitakisThe current multiannual financial framework will run until the end of 2027, and in 2025, the Commission will put forward comprehensive proposals for the post-2027 MFF and the next generation of financial programmes. As part of its ambitious approach to becoming an investment commission, the organization seeks to develop a more focused, simpler and impactful EU budget that accurately reflects its strategic priorities.
Following President von der Leyen's Political Guidelines for the 2024-2029 European Commission, the public consultation aims to develop a more streamlined, focused and responsive budget that accurately reflects European strategic priorities.
To achieve this objective, the Commission holds seven public consultations to gather views from interested parties on the optimization of the EU budget. These consultations will cover various policy areas with the goal of creating a more effective and efficient budget that successfully delivers on key strategic objectives. One issue is EU funding for cross-border education, training and solidarity, young people, media, culture and creative sectors, values and civil society. You may reply to the consultation here.
To date, 3594 citizens from around the world have responded to the call. The Commission plans to present its proposals in 2025, with this consultation serving as a critical input mechanism for stakeholders to provide their insights and recommendations.
