2021-2027: Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) - reading references
The heads of state or government of the 27 member states meet on 20 February to discuss the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the 2021-2027 period. The MFF is the seven-year budget of the European Union, which sets the limits on EU expenditure in different areas such as cohesion policy, Common Agricultural Policy, research and innovation, etc.
Ahead of the meeting, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, has been engaging in bilateral contacts with the leaders of different member states to try to pave the way for an agreement on the MFF.
"I am convinced that with common sense and determination we can strike a deal that will benefit all Europeans. To achieve this, all sides will need to demonstrate a spirit of compromise." -- Charles Michel, President of the European Council.
The Council Library has compiled a reading list relating to the MFF including research papers and articles as well as EU publications on the financial framework for the next seven years, and its historical evolution.
This reading list does not necessarily represent the positions, policies, or opinions of the Council of the European Union or the European Council.
