Priorities 2024 - 2029

Renew Europe is leading the liberal, democratic, and centrist response across the European Union to an increasingly uncertain world. We will campaign for pragmatic, future-focused policies that defend democracy, boost prosperity, and enhance European security. Our mission is to deliver a reformed, stronger European Union—one that is more responsive to the real concerns of Europe’s citizens.

Our political programme for the next mandate is ambitious and unapologetically pro-European. At its core is the creation of a European Defence Union, capable of addressing today’s security threats and ensuring Europe’s strategic autonomy.

We will continue to stand firmly with Ukraine, supporting the restoration of its internationally recognised borders. We have already secured the establishment of a Security and Defence Committee in the European Parliament and led the creation of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield (EUDS)—a major step in strengthening the EU’s resilience against foreign interference and authoritarian threats.

Renew Europe is also committed to cutting red tape and reducing administrative burdens across the Union. We advocate for smarter regulation that simplifies compliance, removes unnecessary overlaps, and makes EU rules more accessible—particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Our group has proposed 50 concrete measures to streamline legislation, including reduced reporting obligations for farmers, a single digital platform for the maritime sector, and a unified corporate rulebook.

We want a more competitive Union that champions innovation, empowers entrepreneurs, and delivers real solutions to the cost of living crisis affecting millions of Europeans. Tackling inflation, improving energy affordability, and boosting household purchasing power must be central to the EU’s economic agenda for the next five years.

We call for the full implementation of the Migration and Asylum Pact and the Green Deal, both shaped by our group, and demand a renewed institutional framework that ensures transparency, democratic resilience, and results-driven leadership. Renew Europe will work with a strong team of Commissioners from our political family to deliver on these priorities with ambition, integrity, and a clear vision for the future of Europe.
