In the early hours of last Saturday, the European Parliament and Council of the EU agreed on the annual EU Budget 2025, strengthened by the MFF revision! 💶 🤝It will amount to €199.4 billion and will allow to deliver on the EU’s political priorities and address urgent crises such as recent floods, all while reinforcing EU flagship programs like Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe.The Commissioner for the Budget, Johannes Hahn, and the Director General of DG Budget, Stéphanie Riso, have contributed to finding this agreement together – the negotiations were tough but fair and they managed to strike a great balance that will serve EU citizens well.This was likely the last annual budget negotiation of Commissioner Hahn, who is concluding his term as Budget Commissioner – thank you for your excellent cooperation working on the EU budget!
