Cohesion policy is the EU’s designated tool to reduce economic inequalities across member states and their citizens and has been a fundamental aspect of European integration. While it constitutes a significant part of the EU’s budget, the implementation process and results of the policy instruments are not beyond doubts and criticism.
The preparations of the next Multiannual Financial Framework, starting in 2028, will take place in a context marked by increasing budgetary needs arising among others from inflation, the climate crisis, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the potential enlargement of the EU. Additionally, the implementation of the "Next Generation EU” instrument raises the question as to whether common borrowing by EU institutions could become a more frequent way to raise funds.
This lunch debate brings together experts from science and practice to discuss the design of cohesion policy within the next MFF.
