FEDARENE releases its recommendations for a Forward-Looking Multiannual Financial Framework post-2020

In June 2017, FEDARENE issued its Berlin Declaration “Stand Together for a United Europe”. Almost a year later, we reiterate our commitment: the European Union and the constructive cooperation of its members is the only way to fight climate change effectively, to achieve higher common standards for a modern low-carbon economy, and to assure a sustainable future for all. In this context, negotiations on the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) are of utmost importance to European regions and cities, because it conditions their access to EU funds, and thus their ability to finance their climate and energy plans.

Central to FEDARENE’s recommendations for a Forward-Looking MFF post-2020 is the idea that the energy transition as well as local and regional platforms should be taken into account. Indeed, we believe that the current negotiations on the EU budget could be a momentum to establish leadership in tackling climate change and undertaking the energy transition, which requires member states, regions, municipalities and citizens to work together. This is why we consider the debate on the post-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework as an opportunity to address the weaknesses of the European Union’s approach to funding, and together achieve our vision of a united and sustainable Europe.
