The European Parliament proposes increasing the Erasmus+ budget to €47.39 billion for 2028-2034 to enhance accessibility for youth from diverse backgrounds. This proposal exceeds the European Commission's suggestion of €40.8 billion. With a significant majority vote, MEPs aim to negotiate with EU member states for a budget allocation that prioritizes education, youth, and sports. They also advocate for better coordination with other EU programs and periodic updates to funding amounts to reflect real costs. Additionally, the proposal includes integrating volunteer activities and facilitating quicker access for candidate countries to the program.
