🟢 📢 💶 New web dossier & papers! An MFF fit for purpose: Assessing Europe’s long-term budget 👉 eu.boell.org/en/new-MFF

With the Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF), the European Union defines its long-term budget – and with it, its political priorities for the years to come. In July 2025, the European Commission published its proposal for the MFF 2028-2034, and long and protracted negotiations will follow. Policy makers now have the opportunity to scale up ambi­tion and deliver on climate, social, economic and security objectives. With this web dossier, we want to give an overview over the different topics EU policy makers will need to address, and give space for commentary and analysis on the MFF: https://eu.boell.org/en/new-MFF Photo credits: Heimann + Schwantes, All rights reserved
