The European Commission has published an indicative agenda for its meetings from 4 to 30 September 2026, outlining a series of major legislative proposals to be adopted during the month. The agenda, published on 20 July 2026 under reference SEC(2026)2576, is subject to Better Regulation principles and possible changes by the President. It includes packages on housing, public procurement, innovation, labour mobility, supply chains, enlargement, and product rules, affecting a wide range of stakeholders from EU citizens to businesses and national authorities.
The agenda, issued by the Commission's Secretariat-General, lists key adoption dates. On 9 September, the Commission plans to adopt the Affordable Housing Act, led by Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera, alongside the Public Procurement Act, the European Innovation Act, and the Outermost Regions package, steered by Executive Vice-Presidents Stéphane Séjourné and Raffaele Fitto. On 15 September, the Fair Labour Mobility Package, under Commissioner Roxana Mînzatu, will be presented, including a European Social Security Pass, strengthening of the European Labour Authority, and a Skills Portability Initiative. This coincides with the European Parliament plenary session from 14 to 17 September and the State of the European Union address. On 23 September, a proposal addressing supply chain dependencies, specifically on aluminium scrap, led by Séjourné, is scheduled, overlapping with the UN General Assembly from 22 to 28 September. Finally, on 30 September, the Commission plans to adopt pre-enlargement policy reviews under the President, a European Critical Communication System and measures to strengthen Frontex led by Commissioner Henna Virkkunen, and the European Product Act, including updates to the European Product Regulation and the Standardisation Regulation, under Séjourné.
The agenda reflects the Commission's push to advance key priorities before the end of the current mandate. The Affordable Housing Act aims to address rising housing costs across the EU, impacting citizens and the construction sector. The Public Procurement Act will modernise rules for public contracts, affecting businesses and national authorities. The European Innovation Act seeks to boost research and development, benefiting startups and established firms. The Fair Labour Mobility Package introduces a digital Social Security Pass to simplify cross-border work, impacting workers and employers, while strengthening the European Labour Authority to enforce rules. The aluminium scrap proposal targets supply chain resilience, affecting the recycling and manufacturing industries. Pre-enlargement policy reviews signal preparations for future EU membership, influencing candidate countries and current member states. The European Critical Communication System aims to secure emergency communications, impacting telecom operators and public safety agencies. The European Product Act updates product safety and standardisation rules, affecting manufacturers and consumers.
The legislative packages will now proceed to the European Parliament and the Council for negotiation. The agenda sets a tight timeline for adoption, with several proposals clustered on single days, suggesting coordinated efforts to advance the Commission's work programme. Stakeholders will closely monitor the proposals' details, particularly on housing affordability, labour mobility, and supply chain resilience, as they could have significant economic and social impacts.
