Response to EU’s next long-term budget (MFF) – implementing EU funding with Member States and regions

31 Jul 2025

Europes next long-term budget promises to be simpler, faster, stronger. For regional authorities, it may also be tighter, taller, and further away. The Commissions 20282034 MFF proposal welds cohesion, agriculture and more into one mega fund, couples Horizons collaborative research with a turbocharged Competitiveness Fund, and hardwires lump sums and performance metrics across the board. EURADA welcomes the renewed firepower for innovation and industrial capacitybut warns that the scaffolding looks worryingly top-down. This short paper dissects what that shift means for regions and cities: where governance levers move, where selection criteria bite, and where regional voices risk going mute. It closes with practical asks to keep subsidiarity alivenot as a slogan, but as an operating system for Europes competitiveness. Find more details in the attached document.
