Annex I – part A – point 3
3. The MFF contingency plan should be tabled by 15 June 2020 at the latest, unless the MFF negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council lead to a political agreement before that date. Thise MFF contingency plan should be accompanied by an annex presenting an outline of an alternative draft budget 2021 proposal, prepared under the contingency plan scenario.

This will be the time when the budgetary authority will have to take a final decision on next year’s Union budget either on the basis of a new 2021-2027 MFF or on the basis of an extension of the 2020 ceilings;
