+Last week leaders from the European Union agreed, after months of haggling, on the 2014-2020 EU budget - also known as the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). The [€960bn budget](http://openspending.org/eu-budget-mff/entries) shown above marked a [widely reported reduction](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20392793) in the budget, but many other stories can be told from the [48 page agreement (PDF) ](http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/en/ec/135344.pdf). Despite accounting for merely [1.08 % of EU's GNI](http://europa.eu/newsroom/highlights/multiannual-financial-framework-2014-2020/index_en.htm), the EU budget should arguably be considered important for every citizen or journalist with a spending nerd hidden inside. Whether you think of [the last minute cuts in broad band investments](http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/feb/11/broadband-budget-cut-rural-connection-billion-euro) or the continued commitment to one of the worlds largest [farm subsidy programmes](http://farmsubsidy.org/), the agreement on the EU budget reflects the current priorities of the member states. 
+
+At OpenSpending we want to invite journalists and the OpenSpending community to share experiences about how to access and analyse the spending data behind EU's budget. <br>
+
+Join us <strong>Monday 18 February at 19:00 CET / 18:00 GMT</strong> for a Google Hangout. 
+[Ronny Patz](http://twitter.com/ronpatz) from [Transparency International in Brussels](http://www.transparencyinternational.eu/) will join and share his experiences on access to information on EU spending. 
+
+At the hangout we'll discuss how to get started if you want to report on the spending behind the EU budget, and attempt to answer: 
+<li>Where to find EU spending data?<br>
+If you have decided to investigate EU spending, you want to locate who is responsible for releasing the data. We will talk about how to find spending data published at both [EU-level](http://ec.europa.eu/beneficiaries/fts/index_en.htm) and [national level](http://eustructuralfunds.gov.ie/). We have gathered a lot of information in this [map of EU spending](http://openspending.org/resources/eu/index.html).</li> 
+
+<li>What's new to report on in the 2014-2020 EU budget?<br>
+How do you examine the consequenses to smaller programmes such as [nature conservation](http://rendezvous.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/11/e-u-says-20-percent-of-budget-green-critics-disagree/)? 
+And how do you detect changes in the distribution of the structural funds?</li> 
+<br>
+If some of the questions above have peaked your interest you should join us at the hangout. If you wish to get started now, have a look at some of the [EU spending data](http://openspending.org/eu-commission-fts) or [notes](http://openspending.org/resources/eu/notes.html) we're already featuring.
