# MFF 2028-2034

On July 16 2025, the Commission published its proposals for the MFF. Covering the years 2028-2034, the [proposed MFF](https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/eu-budget/long-term-eu-budget/eu-budget-2028-2034_en) is structured around three headings that group together shared policies and priorities. A fourth heading covers expenditure for European public administration.

1. **Economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture, rural and maritime prosperity and security**
2. **Competitiveness, prosperity and security** (*includes AgoraEU and European Competitiveness Fund*)
3. **Global Europe** (*includes Global Europe Instrument*)

Three proposals under two of these headings are key to ensure there is substantial and long-term EU funding and investment for the public interest information ecosystem.
