MEPs have fought and received better support for health, research, and climate action.

On Monday evening, negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement on the EU budget for 2022. This was achieved just before the deadline for conciliation, which ends on Monday 15 November at midnight. Parliament obtained a total of EUR 479,1 million for its priorities, in addition to what the Commission proposed in the draft budget with an updated letter of amendment.

EU budget of EUR 169,5 billion

Initially, delegations from the European Parliament and the governments of the Member States agreed on an EU budget of € 169,5 billion. This represents an increase of EUR 5 billion compared to the original plan. Details will be available later.

MEPs have succeeded in increasing funding for programs they believe are contributing to recovery from the pandemic in line with Parliament's priorities set out in the 2022 guidelines, including the research program Horizon Europe (+ EUR 100 million above the Commission's draft budget) and program environmental and climate action LIFE (+ EUR 47,5 million). The single market program has been supplemented by EUR 30 million (including EUR 10 million for the tourism sector). The European Public Prosecutor's Office will receive EUR 3,8 million more, protecting European taxpayers' money from criminals.

Additional € 51 million to increase the resilience of national health systems

Support for young people is a key priority for Parliament: MEPs have succeeded in increasing the programme's budget Erasmus + by EUR 35 million. Also strengthened EU4Health by allocating an additional EUR 51 million to building a strong European Health Union and increasing the resilience of national health systems.

Humanitarian aid has been increased by EUR 211 million to cover the increased needs of the EU Solidarity Fund due to natural disasters in the EU.
