European Recovery Instrument Next Generation EU: Commission updates the European Parliament
Brussels, 5 November 2024 (hib. DE) – The European Commission has presented the current developments regarding the European recovery instrument Next Generation EU to the European Parliament.
The focus of the report is on the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), which serves to support Member States in overcoming the economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper assesses the progress made so far and identifies challenges and opportunities for the future.
The Commission emphasized that the implementation of the RRF is proceeding according to plan. As of November 2024, 19 Member States have adopted recovery and resilience plans, and disbursements have begun.
The Commission also highlighted three main challenges to the implementation of the RRF:
- The complexity of the plans and the administrative burden for the Member States.
- The need to ensure that the funds are used effectively and efficiently.
- The coordination of the RRF with other sources of funding such as the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund.
Despite these challenges, the Commission is confident that the RRF will achieve its objectives of supporting Member States in overcoming the economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and strengthening the EU’s resilience to future crises.
Background:
The Next Generation EU is a €750 billion recovery package adopted by the EU in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The RRF is the centerpiece of Next Generation EU and provides €672.5 billion in grants and loans to Member States.
The RRF funds can be used to support a wide range of measures, including investments in health care, education, digital infrastructure, and research and innovation. The funds can also be used to support reforms to labor markets, pensions, and taxation.
The implementation of the RRF is overseen by the European Commission. The Commission is responsible for approving recovery and resilience plans, monitoring their implementation, and making disbursements to Member States.
