Fighting against terrorism, cross-border and online crime, increasing the EU's resilience against both natural and man-made disasters. Read how the Commission’s Work Programme is implemented A new strategic agenda for the EU 2019-2024 Protecting citizens and freedomsĮffective control of the EU’s external borders and further developing a comprehensive migration policy. Each year, the Council, the Parliament and the Commission agree on their top priorities for the upcoming year, which are set out in an annual Joint Declaration. This sets out the initiatives intended to deliver on the priorities over the following 12 months.
The Political Guidelines form the basis of the annual Commission Work Programme. Once the European Commission’s priorities are set by the Candidate for President, they are formally presented at the European Parliament at the beginning of its new legislature. The EU institutions and EU countries must work closely together to implement the European Council’s priorities. The priorities broadly identify the main policies and steps the Commission intends to follow to ensure its political objectives are reached. The strategic agenda also guides the European Commission’s 5-year political priorities, as set out in its Political Guidelines. They serve as a framework to guide the EU institutions on the priorities and set out how to deliver on them. These priorities are collectively called a strategic agenda. It sets the political priorities of the EU ahead of the start of each new legislative term of the European Commission and European Parliament. The European Council brings together the heads of state or government from all EU countries.
This serves as inspiration for the European Commission’s political priorities drawn up before formally taking office for a 5-year term. In June 2019, EU leaders set out their priorities in the EU’s strategic agenda 2019-2024. The priorities derive from a dialogue between EU leaders, national ministers, EU institutions and the political groups elected to the European Parliament. They serve to address the main challenges faced by the EU and its citizens – be they political, economic or social. Following the European elections in May 2019, the European Union set a number of priorities that shape the political and policy agenda until 2024.
