MEPs quiz the Commission on its priorities for next year, to be unveiled the same day, and outline their own. Plenary makes a first assessment of the policy and legislative initiatives the Commission aims to take in the year ahead, focusing on support for Ukraine, completion of the single market, competitiveness and simplification, enhanced investment - not least in security and defence, support for businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises, and research and innovation. Next year will also be pivotal for the finalisation of the EU’s 2028-2034 long-term budget. MEPs debate (part 1).

Commission Work Programme 2026: MEPs debate (part 1)

MEPs debate with Council and Commission representatives ways to promote and protect the EU’s digital rules and reduce tech dependency on non-EU actors. The debate focuses on the importance of building a secure and autonomous digital economy and of implementing the EU’s digital rules in full. MEPs call on the Commission to make full use of its regulatory powers, to maintain the highest standards for its citizens and businesses and to step up investment in EU digital infrastructure.

MEPs in the Budgets Committee (BUDG) discuss with Piotr SERAFIN, European Commissioner for Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration, the proposal for the post 2027 European Union long-term budget, i.e. the multi-annual financial framework (MFF) beyond 2027 and own resources, right after its adoption by the Commission. Catch-the-eye with Piotr SERAFIN, European Commissioner for Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration.

Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF) beyond 2027 and Own Resources: Catch-the-eye with Piotr SERAFIN, European Commissioner for Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration

MEPs outline their priorities ahead of the presentation by the Commission of its proposal on the next multiannual financial framework (MFF). They spell out their positions and expectations for the EU’s post-2027 long-term budget. Parliament adopted a resolution on the future MFF during its May plenary session, asking for a “significantly more ambitious” budget, and arguing that the current spending ceiling of 1% of the EU-27’s gross national income is not enough. MEPs also rejected the Commission’s idea of replicating the Recovery and Resilience Facility’s "one national plan per Member State" model in the EU’s new long-term budget. Instead, they demand a structure that ensures transparency and parliamentary accountability, and involves regional and local authorities.

Council and Commission statements - The EU’s post-2027 long-term budget: MEPs debate part 1

MEPs complete their review of the Commission’s 2024 Rule of Law Report and more recent developments in EU Member States threatening the European values. This report, prepared in the Committee in Civil Liberties (LIBE), takes stock of the Commission’s findings published in the 2024 Rule of Law Report, as well as of the recent developments in EU Member States. MEPs debate.

The Commission’s 2024 Rule of Law report: MEPs debate (part 2)

MEPs debate on Parliament's vision for the next multiannual financial framework (MFF). The parliamentarians aim to a more ambitious long-term EU budget to match EU citizens' expectations in an increasingly complex global landscape. The current budget ceiling of 1% of the EU-27’s gross national income looks 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.

A revamped long-term budget for the EU in a changing world: MEPs debate (part 1)

MEPs evaluate the outcome of the 20 March European Council in a plenary debate with Presidents António Costa and Ursula von der Leyen. At their meeting in Brussels, the EU’s heads of state or government focused on how the EU can continue supporting Kyiv against Russia’s aggression, how to strengthen the EU’s security and defence capabilities, how to respond to the situation in the Middle East but also ways to bolster the EU’s competitiveness and discussed migration and multilateralism. MEPs debate (part 2)

Conclusions of the European Council meeting of 20 March 2025: MEPs debate (part 2)

MEPs and the Commission debate changes to EU rules on the returns of people who have no legal right to remain in Europe. The proposal for a new legal framework on so-called “returns”, announced by President Ursula von der Leyen in July 2024, is formally unveiled by the European Commission. During the plenary debate, MEPs scrutinise the proposal, which is intended to increase the return rate of third-country nationals not entitled to stay in the EU. Parliament emphasises the importance of cooperation with third countries, including on the readmission of their own nationals, as well innovative measures such as the establishment of return hubs in third countries. MEPs debate (part 2).
