At this Special meeting of the European Council, leaders will aim to agree on the EU’s long-term budget for 2021-2027, the multiannual financial framework (MFF). The discussion will be based on a proposal from the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, following a round of consultations with all the EU heads of State or Government.

The multiannual financial framework ensures that the EU’s expenditure develops in an orderly manner and within the limits of its own resources. The annual budget of the EU has to comply with the MFF.
