2021-2027 multiannual financial framework and new own resources: Analysis of the Commission’s proposal

The process of negotiating a new seven-year financial plan for the EU has now begun formally with the European Commission's publication of proposals for a 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), and for a new system of own resources providing the revenue to pay for it.

This analysis presented the proposed new MFF and own resources and compared them to the status quo, as well as to the European Parliament's priorities as expressed in plenary resolutions adopted in spring 2018.

This briefing is a follow-up to the EPRS Briefing Post-2020 MFF and own resources – Ahead of the Commission's proposal and the Briefing Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027: Commission proposal: Initial comparison with the current MFF.

The analysis presented in the paper is partly based on unpublished, supplementary and updated
technical data on the proposed MFF provided by the Commission to the European Parliament.
