Following an earlier speech to the Parliament in this context by the Estonian Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, on 3 May 2022, the Italian Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, was the first EU leader to address the Parliament after the latter's Conference of Presidents had endorsed the initiative on 28 April. Mr Draghi suggested numerous initiatives to strengthen the European Union, notably a conference to rationalise and optimise EU investment in military spending. He also expressed his support for abolishing the principle of unanimity in the Council for decision-making on foreign policy, and for Treaty changes, to achieve what he called 'pragmatic and ideal federalism'.

Most countries needed to step up health and social spending, while also introducing stimulus packages as their tax revenues fell. This has led to increased budget deficits and sovereign debt. Additional revenue streams need to be found in the near future in order to pay back this debt. Briefing EN Greece's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 11-04-2022 Auteur PARI MARIANNA Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé Grèce | investissement de l'UE | politique financière | politique économique | reprise économique | réforme économique Résumé Before the pandemic, the Greek economy was just getting back onto a positive path, following reforms implemented under the macroeconomic adjustment programmes. Action to address the country's specific characteristics is now all the more important since the -8.2 % downturn of 2020. Greece was among the first four countries to submit its national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) in April 2021. The plan envisages investments and reforms totalling €30.5 billion, to be implemented up to 2026, with €17.8 billion to be financed from non-repayable financial support (grants) and €12.7 billion, the maximum possible allocation, from loans. The plan corresponds to 4.2 % of the €723.8 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and represents 16.7 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). The grants alone represent 9.7 % of the country's GDP, and overall this is the sixth biggest national plan. Greece is the biggest per capita grant beneficiary, receiving €1 666 in grants per person. The Greek plan was approved by the Council on 13 July 2021, which allowed the disbursement of the pre- financing payment of €4 billion to Greece on 9 August 2021. Further disbursements will be made up until 2026, upon fulfilment of the agreed milestones and targets. Grants are scheduled in nine equal instalments, and loans in six equal instalments. A first payment request was submitted by Greece on 29 December 2021 for the fulfilment of 15 milestones. On 7 January 2022, implementation had begun of 103 measures, corresponding to €6.1 billion. The European Parliament, which supported an EU recovery instrument from the start of the pandemic, is involved through a regular, structured dialogue with the Commission and the Council, and is competent to scrutinise its implementation. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. First edition. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans.

Gender equality in the Recovery and Resilience Facility Type de publicationBriefing Date 01-04-2022 Auteur SAPALA Magdalena Domaine politique Affaires économiques et monétaires | Budget | Égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, égalité et diversité Mot-clé aide attentive au genre | instrument financier de l'UE | maladie à coronavirus | planification nationale | reprise économique | répartition du financement de l'UE | égalité homme-femme | épidémie Résumé The negative impact of the Covid-19 crisis on women's social and economic situation triggered a debate on the urgent need for a gender-sensitive policy response to the pandemic. In this context, the establishment of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) – the EU's biggest financial instrument supporting recovery in the Member States – is an opportunity to channel extraordinary resources toward measures that take into account the principles of gender equality. It is also a chance to put into practice the EU's long-standing commitments to mainstream gender across different policies and apply gender budgeting principles to EU spending. Offering an overview of how gender equality has been built into the RRF Regulation, this briefing explains what was expected from the Member States when they were preparing their national recovery and resilience plans (NRRPs) as regards gender equality. It also provides practical examples of reforms and investments where gender equality has been taken into account, from the 22 NRRPs approved by the end of 2021 (Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland). In keeping with the RRF Regulation, all the NRRPs analysed declare gender equality to be a horizontal objective, to be given consideration in all measures. However, not all Member States have included dedicated reforms or investments addressing gender-related challenges explicitly or indicating women as the main beneficiaries. Our analysis shows that the most numerous and innovative measures are present in the plans of Belgium, Spain, Italy and Austria. This is an update of a Briefing published in October 2021. Briefing EN Parliament's guidelines for the 2023 EU budget: Section III – European Commission Type de publication En bref Date 30-03-2022 Auteur MAZUR Sidonia Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé budget de l'UE | cadre financier pluriannuel | cohésion économique et sociale | exercice budgétaire | gestion financière | projet de budget (UE) | reprise économique Résumé The 2023 EU budget will be the third under the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for 2021 to 2027. It is also the last year of the EU recovery instrument (Next Generation EU), which is planned to run from 2021 to 2023. The European Parliament contributes to the preparation of proposals for the forthcoming year's budget for the European Union through the adoption of its 'guidelines'. The draft guidelines, as adopted by the Committee on Budgets on 16 March 2022, outline Parliament's goals for the Union's 2023 budget, with the overarching priority of recovering from the coronavirus crisis and facing geopolitical challenges. Parliament is expected to adopt its guidelines during the April plenary session, ahead of the Commission's adoption of its proposal of the draft 2023 budget, scheduled for early June. En bref EN The Economic Reconstruction of Belarus: Next Steps after a Democratic Transition Type de publication Étude Date28-03-2022 Auteur externeChristopher A. HARTWELL; Kateryna BORNUKOVA; Dzmitry KRUK; Benedikt ZOLLER-RYDZEK Domaine politiqueAffaires étrangères | Démocratie Mot-cléaide à la reconversion | Biélorussie | interdépendance économique | relation bilatérale | relation de l'Union européenne | reprise économique | Russie | transition économique Résumé The economic performance of Belarus has been unimpressive ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, due mainly to the country’s lack of serious structural reforms. This study examines the consequences of this benign neglect should a democratic transition occur and attempts to understand the assistance that may be required to help Belarus successfully transform. Unlike the transformations which began in Central Europe during 1989, though, Belarus’ potential transition is complicated by immense Russian pressure. Hence, the provision of much needed assistance will be highly dependent upon Russia’s stance towards a democratic transfer of power. This study examines its possible responses to understand how the EU can best be involved in the long-delayed Belarusian transformation and also how much assistance may be required.

Étude EN Denmark's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 14-03-2022 Auteur JENSEN LISELOTTE Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé Danemark | relance économique | reprise économique | transition économique Résumé In absolute figures, the Danish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) is the sixth smallest national plan (or third smallest as a share of gross domestic product, GDP) under the unprecedented EU response to the crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. To date, Denmark has decided not to request any loan, and its Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) allocation therefore consists solely of a non-repayable grant (see figure below). Denmark is set to receive the maximum allocation of €1 551.4 million from the RRF, which corresponds to 0.2 % of the entire RRF and to 0.5 % of Denmark’s 2019 GDP. The country’s NRRP amounts to €1 615 million, which means that Denmark will add €63.6 million in national funding towards the total resources of the plan. According to Article 18 of the RRF Regulation, measures under the NRRPs are to be completed by 2026. Following the Council’s approval of the plan, Denmark received €201 million in pre-financing in September 2021. Subsequent payments, to be distributed over six instalments, will depend on achieving milestones and targets identified in relation to RRF implementation. The Danish plan is centred around reforms and investments early in the period, and the last instalment is planned for June 2026. The European Parliament, which was a major advocate for the creation of a common EU recovery instrument, participates in interinstitutional fora for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and scrutinises the work of the European Commission. Briefing EN Czechia's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 14-03-2022 Auteur PAPE Marketa Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé aide de l'UE | investissement de l'UE | reprise économique | Tchéquie | transition économique Résumé To benefit from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the unprecedented EU response to the crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, Czechia has decided to use the grant component of its national allocation, without requesting loans. The targeted resources total €7 036 million and represent 1 % of the entire RRF. They amount to 3.1 % of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). To receive this support, Czechia has prepared a National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), a broad programme of reforms and investments that seeks to underpin the recovery of the Czech economy, while advancing the green and digital transition and addressing a number of existing structural weaknesses. In addition to the EU support, Czechia has included in its plan a subset of reforms and investments equal to €449 million, which, while integrated into the structure of the plan, are not included in the RRF financing and will be financed from national resources. Measures under the plan are to be completed by 2026. Following the Council’s approval, Czechia has received €915 million in pre- financing, equivalent to 13 % of its total financial allocation. The next payments, divided into nine six-monthly instalments, will depend on progress in implementing the plan. The European Parliament, which was a strong advocate for a common EU recovery instrument, participates in interinstitutional cooperation and discussions on its implementation and scrutinises the work of the European Commission.

Malta's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 14-03-2022 Auteur LILYANOVA Velina Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé Malte | relance économique | reprise économique | transition économique Résumé Malta's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) has a total value of €344.9 million. However, under the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), which is at the core of the EU's innovative Next Generation EU instrument, Malta is expected to receive around €316.4 million, slightly below the value of the plan, and entirely in grants. Malta has not requested any loans so far. Under the RRF Regulation, the option to request loan support of up to 6.8 % of 2019 gross national income is available until 31 August 2023. Whereas in nominal terms, Malta has the second smallest allocation after Luxembourg, in terms of RRF grants per capita, it ranks higher: the value of Malta's grants under the RRF equals approximately 2.3 % of its 2019 gross domestic product (GDP), less than the average for the EU overall (in comparison, the RRF equals 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). In December 2021, Malta received €41.1 million in pre-financing. The Maltese plan takes into consideration the Council's 2019 and 2020 country-specific recommendations, and aligns with both national economic and investment plans and funding under EU cohesion policy programmes for the 2021-2027 period. The overall objective is to contribute to a sustainable, equitable, green and digital recovery. In particular, the plan aims to digitalise small and medium-sized enterprises and the public administration, promote sustainable public transport and electric vehicles, and step-up the fight against money laundering. It embraces the green and digital transitions – major common European challenges – and envisages 53.8 % of the total allocation for climate objectives, while 25.5 % will contribute to the digital target. The share of the allocation dedicated to the green transition makes Malta's NRRP one of the greenest. The European Parliament participates in interinstitutional forums for cooperation and discussion on the implementation of the RRF, and scrutinises the work of the European Commission. Briefing EN Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 10-03-2022 Auteur D'ALFONSO Alessandro Domaine politique Affaires économiques et monétaires | Budget Mot-clé aide de l'UE | ajustement structurel | investissement | Italie | maladie à coronavirus | recommandation (UE) | reprise économique | réforme économique | semestre européen | épidémie Résumé In absolute figures, Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan is the largest national plan under the unprecedented EU response to the crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. Italy has decided to use its entire national allocation under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), including its loan component. Totalling €191.5 billion, these resources represent 26.5 % of the entire RRF, equal to 10.7 % of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). In addition, Italy has earmarked national resources worth €30.6 billion to further strengthen a vast programme of reforms and investments that aims to promote the recovery of the Italian economy, while addressing a number of structural weaknesses as well as pursuing major objectives such as the green transition and the digital transformation. Measures under the plan are to be completed by 2026. Following the Council’s approval of the plan, Italy received €24.9 billion pre-financing in August 2021. Further payments, in 10 instalments each for grants and loans, will depend on progress in implementing the plan. In December 2021, Italy submitted a first payment request worth €21 billion in grant and loan instalments. On 28 February 2022, the European Commission endorsed a positive preliminary assessment of this request. The European Parliament, which was a major advocate for the creation of a common EU recovery instrument, participates in interinstitutional fora for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and scrutinises the work of the European Commission. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Third edition. The ‘NGEU delivery’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans.

The implementation of France's NRRP will be supported by €39.4 billion in grants under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). France has decided to use its entire national allocation for grants and not to request loans. The resources allocated to France represent 5.4 % of the entire RRF resources for the EU, and 1.6 % of the country's GDP in 2019 (the RRF representing 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). Measures under the plan are to be completed by 2026. Following the Council's approval of its RRP in July 2021, France received €5.1 billion in pre-financing in August 2021 (13 % of France's financial allocation). The next payments, in five yearly instalments, will depend on progress in implementing the plan.

In absolute figures, Lithuania has decided to use its full grant allocation of €2 224 million under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), while declining to avail of the loan component. These resources represent 0.3 % of the entire RRF, equal to 4.6 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). In addition, Lithuania is naturally pursuing national reforms and investments that aim to further promote the dynamism of its economy, while addressing a number of structural weaknesses. It is also pursuing major objectives such as convergence towards higher standards of living, the green transition and the digital transformation. Measures under the NRRP are to be completed by 2026. Following the Council's approval of the plan, Lithuania received €289 million pre-financing in August 2021. The next payments, in nine six-monthly instalments, will depend on progress in implementing the plan.

Briefing EN Finland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 28-02-2022 Auteur PARRY Matthew | TENHUNEN Susanna Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé Finlande | relance économique | reprise économique | transition économique Résumé Finland's €2 085 million National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) makes use of the grants component of the country's national allocation under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), with no contribution from the loan component. The share of the NRRP equals 0.9 % of Finland's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 and represents a total of 0.3 % of the entire RRF. In this respect, Finland's plan is relatively big compared to Member States of comparable population size and economy, such as Denmark (€1 500 million in grants). Finland has allocated 50.4 % of its national plan to the green transition, in the service of its ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, while digital expenditure accounts for 27.1 % of the overall resources in the plan. Thus, Finland exceeds the minimum allocations required by the RRF Regulation, which are 37 % for the green transition and 20 % for digital transformation. The Sustainable Growth Programme for Finland presents the NRRP and is financed by the Next Generation EU (NGEU) recovery instrument. Finland received its first payment of about €271 million in pre-financing, representing 13 % of its plan, on 21 January 2022; the next payments, in six instalments, will depend on progress in implementing the plan. The total amount of grants under the RRF is subject to revision in June 2022, which might affect the final amount allocated to Finland. In addition to the RRF, Finland's plan draws on other EU funding instruments, such as the Connecting Europe Facility, to finance a cross-border electricity transmission project in partnership with Sweden in support of the green transition RRF pillar; the Digital Europe and Horizon Europe programmes, to support initiatives under the digitalisation pillar; and the European Social Fund and European Regional Development Fund for the economic cohesion pillar. The European Parliament, which was a major advocate for the creation of a common EU recovery instrument, participates in interinstitutional fora for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and scrutinises the work of the European Commission.

Transport trends in national recovery and resilience plans Type de publicationBriefing Date 21-02-2022 Auteur PAPE Marketa Domaine politique Transports Mot-clé aide à la modernisation | conséquence économique | investissement de l'UE | maladie à coronavirus | organisation des transports | politique des transports | reprise économique | répartition du financement de l'UE | économie verte | épidémie Résumé To address the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, the EU has put in place an unprecedented temporary recovery instrument, Next Generation EU (NGEU). Its main spending tool is the Recovery and Resilience Facility, worth €723.8 billion (in current prices). While EU countries differ both in terms of their pre-coronavirus situations and in terms of Covid-19-related impacts, they can all seize the opportunity to kick-start their economies with this financial injection. To access funding under the facility, EU countries have had to preparef their recovery and resilience plans in line with a number of requirements, such as earmarking a certain minimum share for investment in the green and digital transitions. The plans have to be endorsed by the European Commission and approved by the Council. By January 2022, 70 % of the plans had been approved. While governments are receiving their first allocations of funding and a full analysis is still out of reach, it has been possible to get an initial glimpse of the plans' contents. This briefing aims to give a flavour of the elements that EU countries want to take up to revive their transport and mobility systems. As all the projects financed have to be implemented by 2026, careful consideration has been needed to determine what is feasible and how it can fit in with long-term national greening efforts. Most governments want to invest in modern trains, clean vehicles and recharging infrastructure as well as improving public transport. While digitalisation is already significantly present across all transport modes, strategies for reducing car use and promoting active mobility are taking hold only gradually. While the planned reforms and investments combine many elements and vary considerably, their collective completion could bring a step change towards a clean and modern European transport. This is an update of a Briefing published in October 2021.

By promoting the sustainable and inclusive recovery that ensures the green and digital transitions make progress, the RRF is consistent with the Commission's priorities. Belgium has decided to use its entire grant allocation under the RRF and, with a total amount of €5 924 million. Belgium's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) ranks 14th among the NRRPs in absolute budget value. Belgium's NRRP is entirely funded through non-repayable grants, which represent 0.8 % of the entire RRF and 1.24 % of Belgium's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019. The measures envisaged by the Belgian NRRP should be completed by 2026. Following the Council's approval of the plan, Belgium received €770 million (13 %) of pre-financing in August 2021. The next 10 instalments will depend on 210 intermediate milestones and targets in the implementation of the plan.

Étude EN Cyprus's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 21-01-2022 Auteur DELIVORIAS Angelos Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé Chypre | relance économique | reprise économique | transition économique Résumé In absolute figures, Cyprus's National Recovery and Resilience Plan amounts to €1.2 billion. Cyprus decided to use its allocation under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) predominantly in grants (€1.005 billion), with €200.3 million in loans. These resources represent around 0.2 % of the entire RRF, but are equal to 5.2 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). They will underpin a vast programme of reforms and investments that aims to promote the recovery of the Cypriot economy (Cyprus's GDP dropped by 5.2 % in 2020), while addressing a number of structural weaknesses as well as pursuing major objectives such as the green transition and the digital transformation. Measures under Cyprus's plan are to be completed in 2026. Following the Council's approval of the plan, Cyprus received a €157 million pre-financing, disbursed in September 2021. The next payments, in ten instalments for grants and four instalments for loans, will depend on progress in implementing the plan. The European Parliament, which was a major advocate for the creation of a common EU recovery instrument, participates in interinstitutional fora for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and scrutinises the work of the European Commission. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. First edition. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans.

Estonia's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publication Briefing Date 21-01-2022 Auteur Niestadt Maria Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé Estonie | relance économique | reprise économique | transition économique Résumé Estonia's Recovery and Resilience Plan – one of the last such plans submitted to the European Commission – sets out the reforms and public investment projects that Estonia intends to implement with the support of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The RRF is one of the main components of Next Generation EU, an EU instrument to counter the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Estonia's plan is one of the smallest in the EU in terms of the total amount allocated. However, when taking into account its number of inhabitants, the country is a medium-sized beneficiary. Initially, Estonia requested €982.5 million in grants (so far, it has not requested RRF loans); the Council agreed to make €969.3 million available to Estonia, of which the allocation for 2021 and 2022 is €759.5 million and is already final. However, the remaining amount of money that is available might still change until June 2022, depending on the updated data on Estonia's gross domestic product (GDP) compared to other EU countries. Estonia's plan represents 0.1 % of the entire RRF, equal to 3.5 % of the country's GDP in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). The reforms and investments included in Estonia's plan should be completed by 2026. Its key focus is on the green and digital transitions, the resilience and accessibility of the healthcare system, and social inclusion. The plan could increase Estonia's GDP by between 0.8 % and 1.3 % and help to create up to 4 000 additional jobs by 2026. The Council approved Estonia's plan on 25 October 2021. The European Commission disbursed €126 million in pre- financing on 17 December 2021. The next payments, in seven instalments, will depend on progress in implementing the investments and reforms. The European Parliament, which was a great supporter of the creation of a common EU recovery instrument, participates in interinstitutional cooperation and discussions on its implementation, and scrutinises the work of the European Commission.

In absolute figures, Latvia has decided to use €1 826 millions of grant allocation under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), while declining to avail of the loan component. These resources represent 0.3 % of the entire RRF, equal to 6 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU 27 GDP in 2019). Through these resources, Latvia is naturally pursuing national reforms and investments that aim to further promote a dynamic Latvian economy, while addressing a number of structural weaknesses. Latvia is also striving to attain major objectives such as convergence towards higher levels of standard of living, the green transition and digital transformation. Measures under the current plan are to be completed by 2026. Following the Council's approval of the plan, Latvia received €237 million in pre-financing in September 2021. The next payments, in a total of six instalments, will depend on progress in implementation. The European Parliament, which was a major advocate for the creation of a common EU recovery instrument, participates in interinstitutional fora for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and scrutinises the work of the European Commission.

Spain's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publicationBriefing Date 14-01-2022 Auteur KARABOYTCHEVA Miroslava Kostova Domaine politique Affaires économiques et monétaires | Budget Mot-clé aide de l'UE | ajustement structurel | Espagne | investissement | maladie à coronavirus | recommandation (UE) | reprise économique | réforme économique | semestre européen | épidémie Résumé Spain’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) is one of the biggest financed by the Next Generation EU (NGEU) recovery instrument. It contains the largest amount, in terms of grants, under the unprecedented EU response to the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. For the time being, Spain has decided to use its national allocation for grants under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The proposed and approved amount (€69.5 billion) represents 9.6 % of the entire RRF, equal to 5.6 % of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). In addition, Spain’s general state budgets plan investment of €27 billion, aligned with the NRRP. The RRF funding will be supplemented by €12.4 billion from the REACT-EU funds, mainly for investment in health and education, and by the structural funds set out in the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework. Measures under the plan are to be completed by 2026. Following the Council’s approval of the plan on 17 August 2021, the European Commission disbursed €9 billion to Spain in pre-financing, equivalent to 13 % of the country’s financial allocation under the RRF. The next payments, in eight instalments, will depend on progress in implementing the plan. The European Parliament, which was a major advocate for the creation of a common EU recovery instrument and was co-legislator for the adoption of the RRF, participates in the interinstitutional fora for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and in scrutinising the work of the European Commission. Briefing EN Priority dossiers under the French EU Council Presidency Type de publication Briefing Date 04-01-2022 Auteur ATTARD LUCIENNE Domaine politique Droit démocratique, institutionnel et parlementaire de l''Union Mot-clé chef d'État | conférence européenne | France | marché unique numérique | politique de l'UE | politique en matière de changement climatique | proposition (UE) | présidence du Conseil de l'Union européenne | reprise économique | réforme fiscale Résumé France will hold the Presidency of the Council of the EU in the first half of 2022. It will initiate the work of the Trio Presidency composed of France, Czechia and Sweden. Executive power is exercised by the President of the Republic, who is elected by direct, popular vote, and the Government. The Prime Minister, appointed by the President, together with the Ministers, is answerable to the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, and they can be removed by a vote of censure. Parliament consists of the National Assembly and the Senate. The National Assembly is the principal parliamentary body, composed of 577 members, who are elected directly for five-year terms. The Presidential election will coincide with the French Presidency, in April 2022. France is a founding Member State of the European Union, and has already held the rotating Presidency of the Council 13 times. The French President, Emmanuel Macron, will present the political priorities of the Presidency to the European Parliament during the January plenary session in Strasbourg. While the last French Presidency, in 2008, was characterised by the global financial crisis, the forthcoming one is expected to be dominated by the ongoing Covid pandemic, the cost of energy crisis and the aftermath of Brexit. The French Presidency will very likely give special impetus to the conclusion of the Conference on the Future of Europe, which should take place in the first half of 2022. The plan is for the Trio Presidency, in its role as member/observer in the Executive Board of the Conference, to draw on the outcomes of the various activities and citizens’ recommendations, outline how they define the future of the Union, and start the implementation process. Briefing EN Ireland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publicationBriefing Date 14-12-2021 Auteur LILYANOVA Velina Domaine politique Budget Mot-clé aide de l'UE | ajustement structurel | investissement | Irlande | maladie à coronavirus | recommandation (UE) | reprise économique | réforme économique | semestre européen | épidémie Résumé Ireland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) is relatively small compared to the plans of most Member States. In absolute terms and per capita, Ireland has the second smallest allocation (after Luxembourg) under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) €989 million entirely in grants. So far, it has not requested any loans (the maximum available loan amount is estimated at €18.7 billion). Most of the funds (€914.4 million) are expected to be legally committed by December 2022. A further set of grants (the remaining amount) will be allocated in 2023, depending on economic developments. Ireland has not requested pre-financing; its grants are planned to be disbursed in five instalments. Relative to the size of the Irish economy, its RRF grants are not large: these are equivalent to around 0.3 % of the country's 2019 GDP, while the total RRF amounts to 5.2 % of 2019 EU-27 GDP. Given also that spending will be spread over the years up to 2026, the RRF is not expected to have a significant direct impact on Ireland's key macroeconomic indicators. The European Commission estimates that it could increase Ireland's GDP by 0.3-0.5 % by 2026. А more significant indirect impact is expected from the overall boost to the EU economy and the associated cross-border spillover effects. The plan's overall objective is to contribute to a sustainable, equitable, green and digital recovery. It complements the government's broader domestic recovery efforts under the economic recovery plan, underpinned by the national development plan (NDP) of €165 billion, for 2021-2030. Although the RRF allocation amounts to less than 1 % of the total NDP investment, it will contribute to key reforms and investments. With 41.9 % of funding allocated for climate and 31.5 % for digital measures, the NRRP's16 investment and 9 reform projects will also focus on strategic EU priorities. The European Parliament participates in interinstitutional fora for cooperation and discussion on the implementation of the RRF, and scrutinises the work of the European Commission.

Germany's National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Latest state of play Type de publicationBriefing Date 14-12-2021 Auteur JOCHHEIM Ulrich | MILDEBRATH Hendrik Alexander Domaine politique Affaires étrangères | Budget Mot-clé aide de l'UE | ajustement structurel | Allemagne | investissement | maladie à coronavirus | recommandation (UE) | reprise économique | réforme économique | semestre européen | épidémie Résumé Germany is set to receive €25.6 billion in non-repayable support from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the unprecedented EU response to the crisis triggered by the coronavirus pandemic. This amount corresponds to 3.7 % of the entire RRF and to 0.7 % of Germany's 2019 gross domestic product (GDP). The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) for Germany amounts to €27.9 billion (0.81 % of 2019 GDP) and does not include requests for loans. Excluding value-added tax, this corresponds to a net amount of at least €26.5 billion, slightly above the maximum financial contribution of €25.6 billion (0.74 % of 2019 GDP) that Germany can expect. For most of the measures, additional funding will also come from national sources. There is a strong focus on the green transition. Measures relating to climate protection –including key actions on mobility and housing – reach at least 42 % of the allocation. The German RRP shows an even stronger digital ambition, reaching at least 52 % of the allocation and ranging from industry, to education, social policy and healthcare, to public administration. Following Council approval of the plan, the European Commission, on 26 August 2021, disbursed €2.25 billion to Germany in pre-financing, equivalent to 9 % of the country's financial allocation under the RRF. (Germany did not ask for a higher share of pre-financing because the €2.25 billion was already reflected in budgetary acts adopted earlier). The remaining 91 % will be paid in five instalments once Germany has satisfactorily fulfilled the milestones and targets identified in relation to RRF implementation. An amount of €16.3 billion will be available to be legally committed by 31 December 2022. The European Parliament strongly advocated the establishment of a common EU recovery instrument. Parliament participates in interinstitutional cooperation and discussions on its implementation and scrutinises the European Commission's work.

The European Commission has painted an optimistic growth scenario in its most recent forecast, with the economy expected to expand by 5 per cent and 4.3 per cent in 2021 and 2022 respectively. However, an increasing number of analysts see the potential for growth dampened by new restrictions in the run-up to Christmas this year given a fourth/fifth wave of the pandemic currently gripping Europe, compounded by the discovery of a new variant of the coronavirus. Higher inflation, partly resulting from high energy prices and disrupted supply chains, is also seen as a threat to the economy of the euro area and the wider EU, as are high public debt levels in many countries. This note gathers links to recent publications and commentaries from many international think tanks on the state of the European economy and on debates on how to reform it.
