Public consultation on the future EU budget

The European Commission launched launched a series of public consultations for preparing the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) on 10 January 2018. Organisations and Eu citizens alike are invited to contribute to it in the next 2 months. EPA wants to make sure that the voice of parents is raised in this consultation, and will work hard on it being heard, too. 

The consultations cover the entire spectrum of EU future funding to collect the views of all interested parties on how to make the most of every euro of the EU budget. The consultation clusters reflect the current structure of the MFF but they do not prejudge the structure of the future MFF. to decide which questionnaires are relevant for your work, check the list of Policy Areas under the title of the specific consultation. From a parents' perspective, most probably the ones on Cohesion, Migration and Values and Mobility are the most relevant.

The consultations include questions on current performance and future challenges of our programmes. This will help the gather your relevant feedback on what has worked well in the past and what could be improved in the future.

The views already expressed in previous consultations done in the context of Mid-term evaluations will also be taken into account when designing future programmes.The results of the consultations will be used in 2018 by the Commission to make proposals for the next generation of financial programmes.

The questionnaires are accessible in 23 languages. Please note that this public consultation will run until 8 March 2018.
