Prioritising competitiveness and security in EU’s next multiannual financial framework (2028-2034)
In its consideration of the European Commission’s communication on “The Road to the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), Swedish Enterprise calls for a clear focus on competitiveness. At a very fundamental level, enhancing competitiveness and securing growth is necessary if we are to successfully address the great challenges of our time – geopolitical, security-related, climate-related, and demographic (including migration and skilled labour). To increase growth in the EU, structural reforms are essential. We, therefore, welcome the performance-based approach that the Commission has indicated for the MFF. If designed correctly it may help drive necessary national reforms that progress competitiveness across the EU.
