On 19 March, BUDG Members will have the opportunity to question Commissioner Johannes Hahn, Commissioner for Budget and Administration, on the Commission's strategy in the ongoing negotiations on the Union's long-term budget (MFF) for the period 2021-2027.

Parliament has repeatedly urged the Commission to revise its MFF proposal submitted in 2018 to take into account President von der Leyen's priorities, to assess the impact of the cut scenarios proposed by the Finnish Presidency and then by the European Council President, and to prepare a contingency plan to ensure continuity of the EU programmes in the event that no agreement could be found before 31 December 2020.
