1. Calls on the Commission to structure the next multiannual financial framework (MFF) in a manner that clearly reflects the EU’s priorities for the coming years, particularly with respect to the resources needed to make the transition to a circular, low carbon economy, to sustain the EU’s leading role in tackling climate change and to ensure that it can meet its international obligations under the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals as well as its internal and external biodiversity commitments and goals;

1b. Recognising the difficulties that the EU and several Member States have in mainstreaming sustainable development in non-environmental thematic objectives of the current MFF, calls on the Commission to sustainability proof the next MFF in order to increase the efficiency of the Union spending and to improve coherence and balance of economic, social and environmental dimensions as required by the Treaty. This new methodological structure should take a step-wise approach and provide the most effective governance structure through the use of substantive, procedural and institutional tools throughout the policy and implementation cycles;
