Post-2020 EU Budget

The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) is a seven-year framework regulating the EU’s annual budget. It sets the maximum amount of spending in the EU budget each year for various policy areas and activities and fixes an overall annual ceiling on payment and commitment appropriations. The current MFF covers the 2014-2020 funding period. The next MFF, which is currently open for discussions, covers the period after 2020.

In the next budgetary plan, we would like the EU to maintain, strengthen and expand its commitment for the child protection reforms in Europe and to champion the transition from institutional to family and community-based care as a human rights cause.

Read our recommendations regarding the EU’s spending plans post-2020 in the publications below.
