The discussion and definition of the EU Multi annual Financial Framework 2014-2020 (MFF) is ongoing. The future scope and impact of EU policies will largely depend on the shape of the next MFF, the details of which are now under discussion, on the basis of the European Commission’s proposals submitted in June.

A wide array of information regarding the proposal is available at the EU websites, and dissemination has been performed. Of particular interest was the conference on this subject held in October 2011, in Brussels – video recordings are available online. Additionally this presentation summarizes the MFF proposal.

This document about the MFF proposal (formely ‘financial perspectives’) and EU budget evolution is particularly interesting, since it outlines the logic, sources of funds and orientations towards the future. The image bellow was extracted from the same document.
