EU General Budget 2025

This legislative resolution formally approves the joint text for the European Union's general budget for the financial year 2025. It sets the total commitment appropriations at EUR 199.4 billion and payment appropriations at EUR 155.2 billion, ensuring the EU can fund its priorities for the upcoming year.

The budget affects various EU institutions and programmes. Specific increases in funding are allocated to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and Europol, while adjustments are made across headings like research, cohesion, security, and humanitarian aid.

Key changes include the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument and the Single Margin Instrument to cover unforeseen needs. The budget also finalises funding for pilot projects and preparatory actions, and adjusts allocations for agricultural support and environmental programmes.

The budget is definitively adopted and will be published in the Official Journal. The Parliament and Council will closely monitor budget implementation and can request amending budgets if needed, particularly concerning natural disaster recovery funds.
