Multi-annual financial framework: Consultations on the future of EU funds
Posted on |
Every 7 years, the EU adopts a new multi-annual budget, which also includes the available funds for a variety of funding programmes and, at the same time, funding focuses. There are currently multiple open consultations by the European Commission on the multi-annual financial framework 2021-2027 – participation is open to any stakeholder.
Due to Brexit most likely coming into effect in March 2019, the EU will lose a major financial contributor. Therefore, the next 7-year budget oft he Union will have to include cuts. The budget Commissioner Günther Oettinger has declared that the programmes Erasmus+ and the successor to Horizon2020 will not experience significant cuts. But essentially all other funding programmes are likely subject to a reduced budget, including the cohesion funds, including the ESF, and various smaller programmes such as funding for civil protection.
To better be able to assess the financial needs and future priorities, the European Commission has started a consultation on their funds and programmes in all major areas. Replies with remarks, positions and priorities can be handed in until 8 March.
