In January 2026, the EESC adopted an Opinion on the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2028-2034. This budget proposal comes at a time when the EU is facing extraordinary geopolitical, security and socio-economic challenges ranging from a deteriorating competitive position to an increasingly polarised trade environment which is undermining the rules-based order.
The afternoon session of the Latin America Follow-up Committee meeting to be held on 24 February 2026 will be dedicated to the Gran Chaco. Organised in collaboration with the multi-actor platform Redes Chaco, the network implementing the EU-supported Impacto Verde initiative, this dialogue will spotlight the challenges and opportunities linking the American Gran Chaco to the EU-Latin America agenda.
