    Presentato da Julien Sanchez, Angéline Furet · PfE

    Aggiunto: 45a. Deplores the lack of real-time monitoring and transparency for citizens regarding the use of RRF funds; considers that, for historic funds of such magnitude, which will lead to massive debts that will burden the Union’s budget for decades, this level of transparency should be an absolute minimum, and that merely listing the main final beneficiaries is completely insufficient to ensure transparency in the use of public money;

    Presentato da Julien Sanchez, Angéline Furet, Jana Nagyová +1 · PfE
