A debate on the next EU long-term budget after 2027, the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), highlighted major concerns among regions and cities regarding the proposal put forward by the European Commission on 16 July. The exchange, held during the meeting of the Commission for Territorial Cohesion Policy and EU Budget (COTER) on 7 October, brought together representatives of the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU and of the European Commission, to discuss the future budget of the Union.
“Even if this was not the intention, the result would be that the MFF will amputate the EU from its regional and local dimension. And this cannot be accepted” said the COTER chair, Vasco Alves Cordeiro (PES/PT), while summarising the concerns expressed by members of the commission.
