Civil society to European leaders: Deliver a budget that is up to the challenge!

Ahead of the 18-19 June European Council,  RREUSE co-signed a letter, with over 250 organisations, under the EUFunds4Social Coalition, calling on European leaders to deliver a future-proof Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2028–2034.

Together with our co-signatories, we call for a strong EU budget that supports Europe’s social model, local communities, environmental and climate objectives, skills, youth, culture and civil society. These priorities are essential for the non-profit, social economy and civil society actors working every day for the common good across Europe.

Key asks include supporting the European Parliament’s proposal to use the allocated budget in the Commission's proposal — equivalent to 1.27% of EU Gross National Income — for new investments, while treating the repayment of Next Generation EU separately from the MFF ceilings. The signatories also call for a comprehensive package of new and genuine own resources.
