Ensuring Digital Signature Legitimateness for Operational Budget in the European Union

How to eSign a document: digital signature legitimateness for Operational Budget in European Union

In May 2018, the European Commission put forward a proposal for the next EU's long-term budget. The proposal is a result of open debate with citizens, beneficiaries of EU funding, Members of the European and national Parliaments, representatives of EU member states. We have conducted a rigorous examination of all policies and proposed an ambitious but balanced budget: one that is fair for all. Investing more than ever in research, innovation and the digital sector means investing in Europe's future. Our next programmes for research, innovation and for digital projects, will allow our Union to bridge the current investment gap, become a front-runner in market-creating innovation and capture the real value of the data economy. How will we do this? By working together. Because together we are stronger and can achieve more! The EU Regional and Cohesion policy will keep reducing economic and social disparities between countries and regions. It will be simpler and more flexible, to be able to adapt easily to new priorities and better protect citizens. The budget for the youth programme Erasmus+ will be doubled to enable more young people across Europe to study. This would give them more opportunities. Every euro that we invest in Erasmus is an investment in our future. With relatively modest amounts, the EU budget will continue mobilizing public and private investments throughout Europe... ... supporting economic growth and job creation. The Investment Plan for Europe has proven a success when it comes to mobilizing private investment and creating jobs. With InvestEU, we are taking this successful model and expanding it across the many EU financing programmes on offer. We are simplifying, doing more with less, and placing a stronger focus on social investments. A modernised Common Agricultural Policy that ensures safe quality food and fairness for the farmers who produce it. This means support for sustainability, environmental initiatives, innovation in farming and developing vibrant rural areas. A greater share of the EU budget than ever before will be devoted to protect the environment and fight climate change. With an increase of funding of almost 60% for LIFE programme, the EU budget can contribute to protecting our environment and speeding up the transition to a clean, energy-efficient, low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. Investments in security and defence will be significantly boosted so that Europe can effectively respond ...and protect EU citizens, their values and way of life. No Member State can meet these challenges on its own. That is why the EU steps up its role in security and defence. The European Defence Fund will support cross-border investments in areas needed to protect our citizens - for example encrypted software and drone technology. The EU budget for border and migration management will be almost tripled... to make the EU’s external borders stronger, to make migration policy fairer and more realistic, and to improve internal security More funding will be available to promote peace and stability, to defend the EU’s interests in the world... ...and provide development assistance and humanitarian aid, with flexibility for a faster response to new crises and challenges. With the United Kingdom leaving the Union, there will be only 27 countries contributing to the budget... ...while the EU citizens still want a Europe that is prosperous and sustainable, safe and secure, stronger on the global scene. The Commission proposes a modern long-term budget, aligned to its political priorities, fit to deliver, and focused on the EU added value. A Europe, that takes greater responsibility for its citizens, needs resources that match its ambitions. The EU’s long-term budget, proposed by the Commission, can enter into force only when approved by all of member states in the Council and with the consent of the European Parliament. And time really matters: - to allow for the new programmes to start on 1 January 2021 - to give certainty to authorities, partners and beneficiaries of EU funding - to keep the momentum of the economic recovery and show that the EU is united and ready to deliver. A budget for a Union the Protects, Empowers and Defends
