Milieu has signed a contract with the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) to carry out a study titled “Upholding active subsidiarity in the Multiannual Financial Framework package 2028–2034”. The study is commissioned by the CoR’s Commission for Citizenship, Governance, Institutional and External Affairs (CIVEX).
The study will analyse the European Commission’s proposed Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2028–2034, which will set the EU’s long-term budget priorities. It will assess how the proposal reflects active subsidiarity and multilevel governance, understood as the involvement of local, regional, national and EU levels in designing and delivering EU policies.
Milieu will assess how the proposed MFF reflects these principles and examine the implications of the proposed governance architecture for local and regional authorities.
The study will contribute to the CoR’s work on subsidiarity as the debate on the future EU budget continues. It aims to support a better understanding of how the proposed governance arrangements affect the authorities that implement EU funding on the ground.
