Time.news – The European Commission is preparing to ‘promote’ the Italian plan for Recovery with a long list (ten) of ‘A’ (the maximum score), with the exception of a single ‘B’ on the costs of the plan, as well as for all the NNPs of the other countries already approved so far. This is what Time.news learns on the eve of the conclusion of the written procedure, the path chosen by the College of European Commissioners to allow President Ursula von der Leyen to present the evaluation directly to the Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, in his trip to Rome tomorrow.
Missing information on costs
The approval with full marks of the Italian plan missed by a whisker, as well as that of the other eight plans approved so far, is due to the incomplete information provided regarding costs of individual interventions.
The green light for pre-financing to Italy
At the same time as the green light for the plan will come that for 13% of pre-financing to Italy. The report card should be delivered by President von der Leyen directly to Draghi. The green light for the plan had been anticipated in recent days by European Commissioner for Economy, Paolo Gentiloni, who said he expected “a very serious assessment by the European Commission of the Italian plan, exactly like the one we are making of the other plans”.
