The Commission seeks to move from a budget which is mainly based on programmes, towards a MFF where the allocation of resources is more policy-focussed. Aim is to simplify the MFF while including country-specific plans detailing key reforms and investments. The next MFF should also include a European Competitiveness Fund to increase investment capacity to support strategic sectors and technologies, such as through research and innovation and Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEIs).
Stakeholders can provide their views regarding the next MFF through various thematic public consultations, focussing for example on competitiveness, the single market and the implementation of EU funding with Member States and regions.
