In his speech presenting the 2024-2029 Commission, the President Ursula von der Leyen identified 7 political priorities for the work of the European Commission in the period 2024 to 2029.

The President outlined the action plans and what are considered to be the main issues for European society in the five-year period.

From rising living costs and housing shortages to economic conditions and migration management, these challenges are further compounded by broader social, environmental, economic and security changes.

To respond to these challenges, the Commission has set several goals, aiming to create a Union that is quicker to respond to society's needs, simpler and more united. These goals are designed to support citizens and businesses, take decisive action where it can have the greatest impact and promote shared ambitions. This vision is based on the European Union's demonstrated ability to tackle complex challenges through collective action.
