Free AccessWhat Next For EU's COVID-19 RFF?
Useful graphic from the Jacques Delors Centre, an EU-focused Berlin think-tank, on the next steps with regards to the EU's COVID-19 Recovery and Resilience Facility, the EUR750bn fund that is part of the long-term budget and which sparked major ructions within the EU during last year's negotiations:

The Deputy Director of the Jacques Delors Centre Lucas Guttenberg also tweets an interesting thread on the immediate steps relating to the RFF, selected sections below:
- "Member states (MS) will have to submit their final recovery and resilience plans (RRPs) by the end of April. The Commission (COM) then has two months to formally assess the RRPs and to make a recommendation to the Council for an implementing decision...The Commission then has only three options: It can endorse the RRP... it can endorse the RRP and recommend less funds if it does not buy the MS's cost calculation; or it can reject the plan."
- "It does not have the option of throwing out individual measures once they are in the final plan - its only two threats are to kill plans altogether or to reduce amounts with good arguments. In practice, this will mean all plans will be agreed prior to final submission. That is why the coming weeks in the runup to the end-April deadline will be the ones deciding how the RRF money will be spent. The action...will shift soon to the bilateral negotiations between MS and COM."
- "The fact that the European Parliament did in the end not get a formal role in approving RRPs and past experience with (lack of) Council peer review means that these interactions will likely stay bilateral - and risk happening mostly behind scenes. And by end-April, it will be over."
- "What happens then? Once the plans are approved by the Council, countries can start implementing. They also get up to 13% of their allocation as pre-financing right away. So in July or so, money will flow."
- "So to sum up: In the next ten weeks or so, the allocation of more than 300 bn euros will be decided basically for good in a process that is by-and-large untested. A lot depends on getting it right. So it might make sense to pay close attention..."
