MEPs debate on Tuesday and vote on Wednesday on Parliament's vision for the next multiannual financial framework (MFF).
The parliamentarians call for a significantly more ambitious long-term EU budget to match EU citizens' expectations in an increasingly complex global landscape. They argue that the current budget ceiling of 1% of the EU-27’s gross national income is insufficient to respond effectively to the growing range of crises and challenges.

The text prepared by the Budgets Committee highlights that the United States’ retreat from its global role means EU spending will now have to address Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, in addition to a highly challenging economic and social backdrop, a competitiveness gap, and the worsening climate and biodiversity crisis. Parliament’s priorities for the next long-term EU budget are designed to feed into the Commission’s proposal on the next MFF, due to be unveiled in July. The co-rapporteurs give a press conference on Wednesday at 14.00, following the vote in plenary.

MEPs debate on European Council meeting (18 December 2025). At their meeting in Brussels, European leaders reinforced the EU’s solidarity with Ukraine and agreed to provide a €90 billion loan for 2026-2027 based on EU borrowing, while deferring the use of frozen Russian assets for reparations. On the Middle East, they reiterated the EU’s commitment to a just and lasting peace based on a two-state solution. On defence and security, the European Council strongly condemned recent hybrid attacks against EU member states and reviewed progress on boosting EU defence readiness. Leaders also discussed the geoeconomic situation and its implications for the EU’s competitiveness, addressed the 2028-2034 EU long-term budget, and reaffirmed that enlargement remains a key geostrategic priority.

MEPs debate on the architecture and governance of the EU’s 2028-2034 long-term budget (multiannual financial framework - MFF). Parliament’s lead MEPs have warned that setting the spending ceiling at 1.26% of the EU-27’s gross national income, as proposed by the Commission in July, will force cuts to flagship programmes and will not meet citizens’ expectations while debt repayments on the post-pandemic recovery instrument loom.

MEPs debate after Luxembourgish Prime Minister Luc FRIEDEN's speech. Luc Frieden became Prime Minister of Luxembourg in November 2023. He held a number of ministerial positions in the Luxembourgish government between 1998 and 2013 and then worked in the private sector before becoming prime minister. Parliament initiated the ‘This is Europe’ debates in the 2019-2024 term to discuss the future of the EU. Fourteen EU heads of state or government have since held plenary debates with MEPs. Luc Frieden is the first leader to do so in this current term.
