MFF and COVID-19 debate with Presidents Michel and von der Leyen from 16:00
Parliament will debate the outcome of the latest European Council videoconference and discuss recovery actions to be fuelled by the new long-term budget.
During their summit on 23 April, EU leaders discussed progress on various dimensions of the EU response to the COVID-19 outbreak, endorsed the European roadmap towards lifting containment measures and a joint Roadmap for Recovery. They also tasked the Commission with working towards establishing a draft proposal on a recovery fund.
MEPs will discuss with Commission President von der Leyen how to prop up the new long-term budget (MFF) with an ambitious recovery plan and kick-start a sustainable EU economy. A resolution will be put to the vote on Thursday and Friday.
