Implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (debate)

Madam President, Commissioner Gentiloni, the Commission has to present the assessment on the Recovery and Resilience Facility by 31 July. And with this report from the European Parliament we intend to contribute constructively to this assessment. It is true that we have only been implementing the recovery plans for a year, but I believe that the data available to us so far can be considered quite …

The rule of law and the potential approval of the Polish national Recovery Plan (RRF) (debate)

Mr President, Madam President von der Leyen, I suppose you will not be surprised that this positive assessment of the plan presented by the Polish Government is received by us with much doubt, because we are all aware of the shortcomings of the plan – proof of which has been the 13 months that have taken to give it the go-ahead – and because in this Parliament we have adopted countless resolutions…

The Rule of Law and the consequences of the ECJ ruling (debate)

The state of play on the submitted RRF recovery plans awaiting approval (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, as you have just said, the recovery plans are being approved and funding is coming to the Member States. This is great news for everyone, but it is not the case for Hungary and Poland. They presented their plans in May. They have had to ask for extensions, which, if I am not mistaken, have also expired. So it is clear that we are concerned about what is happening with t…

The creation of guidelines for the application of the general regime of conditionality for the protection of the Union budget (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, one more plenary session in which we talked about the mechanism of conditionality of European funds with regard to the rule of law, and the question is when we will see action. Because the mechanism came into force on 1 January and we have not yet seen its fruits. From the first moment we were very clear and warned that these guidelines were not necessary. We had just c…
