📢 Europe needs an ambitious budget for an independent, prosperous, secure and thriving society and economy! Today, the European Commission presented its proposal for the next EU budget 2028-2034 worth EUR 2 trillion 💶   This proposal is more than a financial plan, it’s a foundation for a stronger, more resilient, and forward-looking Europe.  The next EU budget will continue to support people, business, Member States, regions, partners️  and - above all - the EU’s collective future. It will significantly enhance the EU’s capacity to deliver on core policies while addressing new and emerging priorities. The Commission proposes a fundamental redesign of the EU budget, which will be more streamlined, flexible and impactful.     A modern EU budget requires modernised and stable sources of income. That is why the Commission is also proposing new own resources and adjustments to existing ones, which will ease pressure on national budgets, generating EUR 58.2 billion per year.    Key features of the new MFF:       -More flexibility across the budget, so Europe has the capacity to act and react fast when circumstances change unexpectedly or when new policy priorities need to be addressed.  -Simpler, more streamlined and harmonised EU financial programmes, so that citizens and companies can easily find and access funding opportunities.   -A budget tailored to local needs, with National and Regional Partnership Plans based on investments and reforms, for targeted impact where it matters most and ensuring a faster and more flexible support for more economic, social and territorial cohesion across our Union.   -A powerful competitiveness boost, for Europe to secure supply chains, scale-up innovation and lead the global race for clean and smart technology.  -A balanced package of new own resources that ensures adequate revenues for our priorities while minimising pressure on national public finances.    The Commission’s proposal is designed to ensure that EU funding is steered by the EU’s political priorities, delivering results that national budgets cannot achieve alone.    As such, particular areas of concerted action will include 👇   ️🏛    Investing in people, Member States and regions  📚 Foster education and democratic values  🚀 Driving prosperity via competitiveness, research and innovation   💪 Protecting people and building preparedness and resilience  🛡 Protecting Europe  🌍 Building partnerships for a stronger Europe in the world    💶 New own resources to match our common ambition    🔗 Learn more:  https://europa.eu/!8R8VWX
