No delay, “Italy will promptly present the April 30 the National Recovery and Resilience Plan ”, declare sources of Chigi palace. The reassurance comes after press indiscretions that spoke of a probable delay of Rome in the presentation of documents in Brussels and of a possible postponement until mid-May. The Prime Minister Mario Draghi, according to the already planned ‘road map’, he will illustrate the plan to the Chambers on 26 and 27 April and before that date there will be a passage in the Council of Ministers, however, it is made known by the government.
However, according to what the agency writes reuters, citing two sources close to the dossier, the EU Commission would not be satisfied with various aspects of the drafts sent by the government so far. “The Commission is not satisfied with the recovery plan as it is,” said one of the sources, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. The source said Draghi will likely roll out the plan around mid-May, but it may need a longer period to overcome the Commission’s objections. Among the main concerns of Brussels are the lack of details on how the plan once EU approval is obtained and the substance of some of the reforms outlined, including the judicial system, the source said. Another source also said that Brussels would like time-consuming changes to the plan, so mid-May seems like a realistic deadline.
Government sources explain that governance of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan could be defined in a This decree. The question is in fact still being evaluated and that the decision will be made in the next few days. Any provision would go to the council of ministers together with the PNRR. As for the Enterprise decree, according to what is learned from the same sources, the goal is to launch it immediately after the Recovery but in any case by the end of the month.
All 27 countries of the European Union are working on their respective national plans to indicate how they intend to spend its share of the Recovery Fund which is worth overall, between loans and transfers, 750 billion euros. Italy gets the biggest slice, nearly 200 billion, and therefore the attention on the plan, particularly complex and articulated, is high. In recent weeks, the Draghi government, moreover he never talked about possible delays.
A spokesperson for the Commission said she had no comments to make on the Italian level in particular, simply recalling how the development of projects is a task challenging for all countries involved and that therefore some “may need to a few more weeks”Also because“ the quality of the projects should be the real priority ”. The spokesman also added that the Commission “dialogues intensively” with all countries on the drafting of their respective plans. Last Friday the vice president of the EU Commission Valdis Dombrovskis stated that some states will miss the date of April 30, without specifying which ones. Compliance with the deadlines would make it possible to receive the first disbursements of funds starting from next July.
