the The national recovery and resilience plan must “be presented before April 30”. Then the EU commission will evaluate each country’s plans and will have 8 weeks at its disposal ”. Once “the approval of the European Council is obtained, there will be another 4 weeks for the final definition.” This calendar “implies that European resources will be available in late summer.This was stated by the Minister of Economy, Daniele Franco, during the hearing of the Senate and Chamber Commissions on Budget, Finance and Policy of the EU, engaged in the examination of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, explaining that for the “finalization of the “recovery and resilience” plan, it will be necessary to take into account the most up-to-date data, which takes into account that the EU regulation takes as a reference, for the determination of loans, the gross national value of 2019 income “that” will bring the size of the estimate of resources for Italy at 191.5 billion euros, therefore slightly lower than the plan identified in January (equivalent to 196 billion)“.
The content of the national recovery and resilience plan must be “ambitious but also credible and detailed,” adds the minister. The projects that will be presented through the recovery plan “can contribute to increasing our development potential and should do so by advancing along the lines of the strategic guidelines indicated by the Commission, which are digitization, ecological transition and social inclusion. “he says, underlining that there are”2 particularly important reforms”: of the public administration and justice. While a “third area of very important reform refers to the transversal regulatory simplification”. “I would like to remind you, in the outline of the different projects, that it is necessary to take into account” the very tight deadlines “required by the expiration of the PNNR. We must be very pragmatic,” emphasizes the minister.
“We need a change of pace in the way of using the resources” of the recovery plan, says Franco, revealing that “we are considering the establishment of a central coordination structure of the nprr in the Mef, to supervise and supervise the effective implementation of the plan. “This structure, he explains,” will be in charge of the support, management, monitoring of interventions, management of financial flows with the European Union, reporting on the progress of the PNR to the European Commission , to check the regularity of the expenditure, to evaluate the results and impacts’ “. In addition, this central mechanism “will be supported by an independent audit activity, responsible for systemic controls, to protect the financial interests of the EU and the good management of the project”.
Finally, Franco reiterates that the recovery and resilience plan “offers us the opportunity to give a concrete response to various problems” in the country, starting with the “disparities” between north and south, youth and women. In particular, the minister recalls that “in the last 40 years the convergence process (between the south and the north) has stopped”. While “the unemployment rate of people under 30 is three times higher than that of older workers.” In contrast, the “female employment rate is 18% lower than that of men and 8% lower than the EU average”.
