EU’s next long-term budget (MFF) – EU funding for competitiveness

The current Multiannual Financial Framework — the EU’s long-term budget — runs until the end of 2027. In 2025, the Commission will put forward comprehensive proposals for the post-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework and for the next generation of financial programmes. As announced in President von der Leyen’s Political Guidelines, the Commission works towards a focused, simpler and more impactful EU budget that reflects the European strategic priorities with the ambition to be an investment Commission. This consultation covers EU funds supporting EU competitiveness. The decision to cluster issues serves to support the preparatory work and does not pre-empt the architecture of future programmes. This consultation is part of the overall public consultation exercise on the next MFF, related public consultations open for feedback can be found here:Next MFF: implementing EU funding with Member States and regions, Next MFF: EU funding for external action, Next MFF: EU funding for cross-border education,training and solidarity,youth,media,culture, and creative sectors,values, and civil society, Next MFF: EU funding for civil protection, preparedness and response to crises, Next MFF: EU funding for the single market, and cooperation between national authorities, Next MFF: performance of the EU budget.
