MEPs debate on their negotiating position on the 2028-2034 EU budget (multiannual financial framework - MFF), including a breakdown of the amounts they want to allocate to each EU funding programme. The text the Budgets Committee adopts proposes a €1.78 trillion budget (2025 constant prices, €2.01 trillion in current prices) for the seven-year period, representing a nominal increase of €175.11 billion compared with the Commission's July 2025 proposal (€197.30 billion in current prices). This means that the long-term budget is set at 1.27% of EU GNI, with debt servicing for the NextGenerationEU (NGEU) recovery fund (0.11% of GNI) over and above the multiannual financial framework (MFF) ceilings. MEPs want this increase of approximately 10% allocated to key EU programmes, with no extra money for administration or the decentralised EU agencies.

Commissioner Jørgensen and MEPs discuss how to ensure access to affordable housing across the EU. The Commission’s Affordable Housing Plan is expected to include a dedicated construction strategy and streamlined administrative procedures to accelerate the renovation of existing households. MEPs focus on the shortage of skilled workers in the construction sector, a possible revision of state aid rules to incentivise construction, and cooperation with the private sector.

Irene TINAGLI (S&D, IT), Chair of HOUS Special Committee, holds a press conference on the public housing policies mission in Vienna (Austria). One of the aims of the European Parliament's mission is to identify what measures Vienna is taking to tackle the housing crisis, specifically focussing on its approach to social housing. In Vienna, over 60% of the residents live in subsidised apartments. The city's housing model combines public ownership, non-profit housing associations, and cooperative housing, making the city’s rent-to-income ratios significantly lower than in other European cities.
