Some challenges are best faced by working together.

That is the guiding principle of the EU’s long-term budget. What will the next one look like?

Parliament has already outlined its position on which priorities to invest in, the structure of the budget and the resources that go into it.

Key things to know about it:
The next EU’s long-term budget needs to be more ambitious and put people first;
Making Europe safer and more competitive are the challenges EU funding should address;
The EU needs to be flexible and invest in new areas of cooperation but not at the expense of the long-standing policies;
Repaying the money borrowed for Covid-19 recovery cannot endanger key EU priorities;
The budget should be more flexible, simpler and more transparent;
Access to EU funds must be tied to respect for EU values and the rule of law.
