For the year 2026, the total EU budget commitments are €192.8 billion, and the total disbursements are €190.1 billion.
In a statement, the Council explained that commitments are legally binding obligations to use funds for various initiatives that will be carried out over multiple years. Disbursements, on the other hand, reflect the actual spending from these commitments in the current and prior financial years.
This marks the sixth annual budget under the EU’s long-term financial plan for the period 2021–2027.
The 2026 budget includes additional support for recovery efforts from the COVID-19 pandemic through the NextGenerationEU programme, as mentioned in the document.
For 2026, the planned spending on defense and security is €2.25 billion. Migration and border control will be funded with €3.88 billion. The Neighborhood Policy and Foreign Affairs sector will receive €16.56 billion. The single market, innovation, and digitalization initiatives will be allocated €23.33 billion.
The EU Council and the European Parliament now need to officially endorse the agreement. The Council is set to approve it on November 24. According to the communiqué, a qualified majority vote is necessary to finalize the budget.
