Parliament's guidelines for the 2022 EU budget: Section III – European Commission

The 2022 EU budget will be the second one under the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2021 to 2027. It is also the second year of the EU Recovery Instrument (EURI) planned to run for 2021 to 2023. The European Parliament contributes to the preparation of proposals for the forthcoming year's budget for the European Union through the adoption of its 'guidelines'. The draft guidelines, as adopted by the Committee on Budgets on 17 March 2021, outline the Parliament's goals for the Union's 2022 budget, with the overarching priority of recovery from the coronavirus crisis. Parliament is expected to adopt its guidelines during the March II plenary session, ahead of the Commission's adoption of its proposal for the draft 2022 budget, scheduled for late spring.
