Τhe European Commission has published a Communication on ‘The Road to the next Multiannual Financial Framework’, where it outlines the key policy and budgetary challenges that will shape the design of the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). This lays the groundwork for reflections on how to adapt the EU’s long-term budget to evolving needs and priorities. With this Communication, the Commission also launches in parallel a Europe-wide campaign with a range of stakeholders, including Member States governments, regional entities, and citizens.
In this framework, the European Commission has launched a public consultation on EU Funding for Competitiveness. The consultation is open and targets citizens, businesses (including SMEs), recipients of EU funding, civil society organisations, research/scientific community, academia, think tank, international stakeholders as well as EU institutions, national authorities and institutions, regional and local authorities.
The public consultation is being held online until 6 May 2025 (midnight Brussels time).
