EU 2028-2034 proposed budget triples funds for migration, border management and internal security

On 16 July, the European Commission proposed a new Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) with a budget of almost EUR 2 trillion – or 1.26% of the EU's gross national income on average between 2028 and 2034. This budget aims to equip Europe with a long-term investment plan that matches its ambitions to be an independent, prosperous, secure, and thriving society and economy.   

The budget will support people, businesses, Member States, regions, and partners, with a strong emphasis on promoting peace, prosperity and European values within a shifting geopolitical and economic landscape. The decision on the future long-term EU budget and revenue system will be discussed by Member States in the Council, with the Commission aiming to support a swift agreement. 

Among structural shifts in policy priorities, particular emphasis is put on the EU’s border and migration management, as well as its internal security. The Commission’s proposal includes a sizeable increase of the AMIF, BMVI and ISF Funds, tripling their subsidies. With additional funding allocated from the EU Thematic Facility to strengthen EU agencies involved in these policy areas, the proposed funds amount to a total of EUR 81 billion. 

These will be distributed as follows:   

• EUR 25.2 billion from the Home Thematic Facilities;
• EUR 15.4 billion for border management;
• EUR 12 billion for migration;
• EUR 11.9 billion for Frontex;
• EUR 6.8 billion for internal security;
• EUR 3 billion for Europol;
• EUR 6.7 billion for other Agencies. 

The new budget is set to enable EU Member States to implement the Pact on Migration and Asylum, which will enter into application by mid-2026; to fully digitalise border control management; and to equip law enforcement authorities with modernised capabilities to fight terrorism and organised crime, both online and offline, as foreseen by the recently adopted Protect EU – Internal Security Strategy.
