EU long-term budget post-2027.* The Committee on Budgets will adopt its vision for the post-2027 EU long-term budget (multiannual financial framework – MFF) to achieve EU’s policy goals, address emerging challenges, and sustainable debt management. MEPs are expected to demand more flexibility to respond to crises and a fast evolving policy landscape. They are also expected to call for a simpler, more transparent budget protected against misuse, fraud and rule of law breaches /(Wednesday)/.
European Defence Industry Programme. *The Security and Defence and the Industry, Research and Energy committees will adopt their position on a draft regulation setting up the first European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), designed to strengthen Europe’s defence technological and industrial base. Its financial and regulatory provisions aim to guarantee the availability and supply of defence products in the EU and support the industry’s competitiveness /(Thursday)/.
Security of gas supply.* In the wake of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the 2022 Gas Storage Regulation ensured the security of gas supply and stability on the gas market by setting an annual storage-filling target ahead of winter. A proposal to be voted on by the Industry, Research and Energy Committee would extend the scheme and introduce some flexibility to avoid market distortions and ensure cheaper gas for consumers /(Thursday)/.
Migration/Entry-Exit System.* The Civil Liberties Committee will vote on a proposal allowing the progressive use by member states of the new entry/exit system to record and share information on the entry, exit and refusal of entry of non-EU nationals crossing EU external borders /(Wednesday)/.
