A revamped long-term budget for the Union in a changing world

Parliament sets out its own position on a topic. The resolution is not binding but signals what Parliament wants.

Where it stands: Parliament adopted the text on 7 May 2025. This is its final position on the matter.

  1. ✓ Referred to committee 10 October 2024
  2. ✓ Committee work Report adopted 23 April 2025
  3. ✓ Tabled for plenary 25 April 2025
  4. ✓ Plenary vote Adopted 7 May 2025
  5. ✓ Parliament’s position Final
How a file moves through Parliament

A file is referred to one lead committee (others may give an opinion). Its rapporteur writes a draft report, committee members table amendments, and the committee votes to adopt the report. The report is then tabled for all MEPs; political groups can table further amendments, which are voted on before the final vote in plenary. The adopted resolution is Parliament’s final position; it is not itself law.

Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report significantly expands the scope of the next MFF, calling for increased resources, new own resources, and joint borrowing to address crises and defence needs.
