EU Court of Auditors Upcoming overview of opinions on the 2028-2034 EU budget

On Monday 27 April, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) will publish an overview of the 12 opinions it has published this year on the European Commission’s legislative proposals for the 2028-2034 multiannual financial framework (MFF).

Over the past few months, the ECA has published a dozen opinions on the new funding and spending methods for implementing EU policies and programmes from 2028 to 2034 as proposed by the European Commission. In the opinions, the auditors gave their views on a wide range of areas, ranging from competitiveness, research and culture, to cohesion, agriculture, and international support. The opinions have been requested by the European Parliament and the Council, and contribute to the process leading to an agreement on the EU’s new long-term budget. The key takeaways from the opinions will be summarised in the overview.

• ​The overview and press release will be published on the ECA’s website at 17:00 CET on Monday 27 April.
• The ECA Member responsible for the overview is ECA President Tony Murphy.
• For statements, interviews and media queries, please contact the ECA press office​​.

As the EU’s independent external auditor, the ECA helps improve financial management by issuing opinions on the Commission’s proposals for new or revised legislation. Where these legislative proposals entail a significant financial impact, EU law requires that our institution be consulted. Therefore, in line with this institutional mandate, we provide our opinions on the MFF proposals, highlighting risks and lessons learned based on our extensive experience with the EU budget.
