Conference on “Road to Recovery”, Zagreb February 2023
- 27.02.2023 8:00 am / 12:30 pm
- Zagreb /
As part of a wide-ranging response, the aim of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is to mitigate the economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic and make European economies and societies more sustainable, resilient and better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the green and digital transitions.
Currently, most National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) are approved and implementation is underway in the Member States.
According to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation, the European Parliament (EP) has an important role in the monitoring of the implementation of the Facility. It is for this reason that the Conference of Presidents has established an EP Working Group on the monitoring of the RRF. In this regard, the EPP Group in the European Parliament together with the EPP Group in the European Committee of the Regions are organising a "Road to Recovery" conference debate in Zagreb on the 27th of February.
