Commission work programme 2025

The 2025 Work Programme sets out the key strategies, action plans and legislative initiatives that will form the building blocks for the further work during this term to respond to our ambition to build a strong, secure and prosperous Europe. 

Framed by the Political Guidelines and the mission letters sent by the President to each College Member, this work programme outlines the main initiatives the Commission will take in the first year of its mandate.

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission:  "Citizens and businesses have called for a simpler EU that delivers prosperity. This work programme is our answer. We've heard you, we're simplifying, and we will deliver. This roadmap charts our course to a more competitive, resilient, and growth-oriented Europe."
