EU budget for 2020
The European Parliament shares the power to decide on the entire annual budget of the EU with the Council of the European Union and it has the final say. On 4 September 2019, the ENVI Committee will vote on amendments to the draft budget for 2020. The budget items of particular interest for ENVI particularly relate to the environment (LIFE programme), climate action, health and civil protection. Budgetary amendments also include proposals for pilot projects and preparatory actions.
ENVI will also vote on its opinion on the budget. The Rapporteur particularly insisted in his draft that every effort should be made to ensure that the overall EU budget target for climate mainstreaming (20%) will be reached by the end of 2020, while the EU budget trend would deliver only 19,7 % for the current multiannual financial framework period.
