On 25th July the EU commission published new per diem rates for all EU member states and several other countries.
Most rates have been reduced, especially those for the Western Balkans and North Africa.
According to the EU, this was based on Commission Decision C (2021) 35 (“authorising the use of unit costs for travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs under an action or work programme under the 2021 – 2027 multi-annual financial framework”).
It remains to be seen to what extent this practice fits in with a steep rise in inflation, which is currently a global problem, and whether the rates will be adjusted again in the short term in line with inflation.
We will keep you informed.
