On 14 July 2025, ENVI Members will consider the draft opinion on the EU General Budget for 2026, focusing on the need for green and digital transition, climate resilience and adequate resources for agencies under the Committee’s remit

ENVI Members will discuss the draft opinion on the 2026 EU Budget, which supports strategic objectives including competitiveness, security, migration, and the green and digital transitions. The Rapporteur highlights the need for coherence between decarbonisation, resilience, and innovation, and calls for continued support to the European Green Deal, including through the Clean Industrial Deal and a water resilience strategy. He also stresses the importance of adequate resources for EEA, ECHA, and EFSA to implement legislation adopted in the previous term, and welcomes the EU’s external climate action under the Global Gateway. Members will now submit amendments to the opinion, as well as budgetary amendments, to be voted in ENVI in September and in plenary in October.
