- Democracy and Rule of Law: Reinforcing democratic institutions, media freedom, and the rule of law across Member States.
- Global Partnerships: Deepening ties with strategic partners and enhancing the EU’s role in global governance.
The Commission also reaffirmed its commitment to better regulation, pledging to reduce administrative burdens and ensure that EU laws deliver tangible benefits to citizens and businesses.
This final work programme under the current mandate reflects the EU’s ambition to act decisively on shared challenges while preparing for the next institutional cycle.
