The Government has already submitted the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) to the European Commission via the official online platform. It was thereby the first EU Member State to deliver the final version.
The draft PRR was delivered in Brussels on 15 October. Following a period of interaction between the Government and the Commission, the new version of the Plan was submitted for public consultation.
The PRR that now been officially delivered combines the joint work of the European Commission and the inputs from the public consultation. There will now be a decision period on the document by the European Commission and the EcoFin Council. The Government expects that the decision will be made during the Portuguese Presidency of the European Union.
The PRR’s financial amount is EUR 16.644 billion, of which EUR 13.944 billion are subsidies. The Executive is open to the possibility of appealing to an additional amount of EUR 2.3 billion in loans.
