We are in a very important period for European programs in the next seven-year period 2021-2027. In fact, the discussion of the new Community Financial Framework, which will define (in broad strokes) the funds available from directly and indirectly managed programs at the end of the current programming period, scheduled for 2020, has entered the mainstream.
La our guide provides some basic information for understanding the structure of the community budget, as well as a number of in-depth links. As a reminder, however, the information in our guide to date, including descriptions of community programs, covers the 2014-2020 programming period. In a little over two years there will be a new financial framework and, with it, many changes in the structure of European funds.
To stay constantly updated on “what’s cooking” for the next seven years, we recommend that you follow the special page of the European Commission dedicated to this topic .
The page presents:
- some thematic sections on the main items of europe programming for the coming period: cohesion and values, natural resources and environment, single market, innovation and digital agenda, migration and border management, security and defense, neighborhood and the rest of the world;
- a daily updated timeline regarding what has happened and what is to come regarding the discussion and approval of the new budget, with access to documentation regarding the various events;
- access to a dedicated news section ;
- the link to the legal texts related to the process of drafting and approving the new Community Financial Framework.
2021 still seems a long way off, but following the community budget planning debate is a great way to arrive prepared and update your strategy based on future priorities.
