Multiannual financial framework

Annual EU budgets are based on the multiannual financial framework agreed between the European Parliament, Council and Commission in an interinstitutional agreement. The financial framework sets the maximum amount of commitment appropriations in the EU budget each year for broad policy areas ("headings") and fixes an overall annual ceiling on payment and commitment appropriations.

Description	Commission adopts package to upgrade financial rules. The entry into force of the Lisbon treaty in December 2009 means the EU's current financial rules need an upgrade. A new regulation on the multiannual financial framework will replace the current agreement between the EU institutions, thus giving the EU's multiannual budget more legal clout, without changing the amounts already agreed.
