European Commission welcomes the endorsement of the new €79.5 billion NDICI-Global Europe instrument to support EU’s external action


The European Commission welcomes the endorsement by the European Parliament and the Council last week of the political agreement on the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) – ‘Global Europe’ for the next multiannual financial framework (MFF) period (2021-2027). This instrument will support the EU’s external action with an overall budget of €79.5 billion in current prices.

It merges several current external financing instruments under the EU budget.
