Disclaimer • It must be underlined that negotiations on the involvement of the co-legislators in programming are still on-going with the European Parliament and the Council. • Therefore the discussions taking place here may not prejudge the outcome of these negotiations, in particular concerning the specific objectives and priorities for each programme fixed in the Regulations themselves or in future delegated acts. • The Commission has also proposed to hold a Strategic dialogue with the European Parliament by which the latter will be able to exert an ex ante political control of the objectives, priorities and allocations to be included in the Multiannual Indicative Programmes before they are adopted.
