The EU 2021-2027 multiannual budget will be combined with a recovery plan in order to help the EU to get out of the coronavirus crisis. At the moment the European Commission is working on a new proposal for the EU budget and according to Europe’s largest industry association, the new budget has to boost investment in energy, environment, digital, and climate technologies.
“In terms of the Commission’s long-term budget, investment in energy, environment, digital and climate technologies are key, while at the same time we must foster strategic value chains and support crucial industrial ecosystems, as they will play a central role in re-launching and modernising Europe’s economy,” said BusinessEurope director general Markus Beyrer.
