EU Strategic Agenda 2024-2029 Adopted
Every five years, EU leaders agree on the EU’s political priorities for the future. This takes place in the context of the European Parliament elections and ahead of the appointment of each European Commission.
The work on the agreed priorities is taken forward by the EU institutions and the member states, and is reflected in the multiannual financial framework, the EU’s long-term budget.
In the face of a changing global landscape and growing instability, the EU claims that ths Strategic Agenda will help Europe to be better equipped to deal with immediate and future challenges. It is structured around three pillars:
- A free and democratic Europe
- A strong and secure Europe
- A prosperous and competitive Europe
It is important to note that these reflect a commitment to defense and security at the forefront, whereas social policy is not as much of a priority. Consult the full text here.
