The European Commission has adopted its work programme for 2027, in which it set out its main legislative and non-legislative initiatives for the coming year. The work programme sets out the Commission's main initiatives for the coming year, in line with political guidelines, mandate letters and other relevant documents.
Alongside the work programme, the annual report on progress in simplification, implementation and enforcement for 2026 is attached. That report analyses progress towards simpler EU rules and more effective results on the ground.
The 2027 work programme therefore covers both legislative and non-legislative initiatives, outlining the Commission's work plan for the coming year. The document is aligned with political guidelines and mandate letters, and is accompanied by a review of implementation and simplification from the previous year.
The 2026 annual report meanwhile serves as a review of progress made so far in simplifying rules and their implementation, with a focus on more effective results on the ground. This rounds out the package with which the Commission simultaneously presents the plan for 2027 and an assessment of the state of play from 2026.
