The European Commission has published its priorities for 2024-2029. The page says Europe faces rising living costs, housing shortages, and the management of business and migration, and that those pressures sit alongside societal, environmental, security, and economic shifts. It says the response is seven priorities meant to make the Union faster, simpler, and more united in support of people and businesses.
The first is a plan for sustainable prosperity and competitiveness, described as growth, enterprise, and innovation with fairness. The second is a new era for European defense and security, covering security challenges, preparedness, and crisis management. The third is support for people and the European social model: social fairness, solidarity, and equal opportunity.
The fourth is quality of life through food security, water, and nature, including a competitive agriculture and food system, biodiversity, and preparation for a changing climate. The fifth puts citizens at the center of democracy so they can help shape the Union's future. The sixth is a global Europe, focused on the wider neighborhood, peace, partnerships, and economic stability. The seventh is delivering together and preparing the Union for the future, on a reinforced EU budget and a reform agenda.
The page states those aims. It does not attach a legislative proposal or a timetable to each priority.
