The aim is to present Parliament's views on the building blocks of the next MFF and put forward recommendations on the revenue side of the EU budget, ahead of the Commission proposal for the next MFF expected in early May. The plenary vote on both reports will take place the following day, 14 March. In the BUDG report, MEPs want the EU budget to reflect a long-term strategy for a stronger, more sustainable Europe. They demand that the current 1% expenditure ceiling be increased to 1.3% of GNI, to continue supporting existing priorities in agriculture and cohesion policy, as well as deal with new challenges such as security, defence or migration. On the revenue side, all rebates and corrections should be abolished.
