The Commission has published the Communication on ‘The road to the next multiannual financial framework’ outlining the key policy and budgetary challenges that will shape the design of the next long term-EU budget. It builds on the commitments set out in the Political Guidelines and the mission letters of President von der Leyen.

With this, a Europe-wide outreach to all stakeholders, institutions, and citizens on the next Multiannual Financial Framework has been launched.

Citizens and stakeholders are invited to give their views and contribute to shape the future of the EU budget through seven public consultations clustered in policy thematic.

All consultations are available here and will be open until 7 May. 

The consultation covering EU funds supporting cross-border education, training and solidarity, young people, media, culture, and creative sectors, values, and civil society is available here.
