    The proposal would set up the Erasmus+ programme for the period 2028-2034 and repeal Regulations (EU) 2021/817 and (EU) 2021/888. Parliament adopted its position on the law at first reading, which is the starting point for agreeing the final text with the Council. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

  7. Brexit Adjustment Reserve

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to adjust the amounts allocated to member states under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, a fund set up in 2021 to help them cope with the effects of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The adjustment is a technical, financial and legal change that aligns the fund's regulation with a reduction agreed during the mid-term revision of the EU's long-term budget, without affecting funds already paid out or transferred. Once the amended regulation is adopted, the Commission can update the implementing decisions that set the final national allocations.
