Romania could receive only 3 billion euros of the 6.4 billion requested from the RRP
Published
Romania could receive only three billion euros of the 6.4 billion euros requested in the last two payment requests under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The information was published by the news website romania-actualitati.ro, which reports on the situation of European funds for our country.
The PNRR is a programme through which the European Union supports Member States after the economic and health crisis. Romania receives European money for investments in infrastructure, education, health and digitalisation. The money can only be received after the Romanian state meets certain objectives, called milestones, established together with the European Commission.
The difference between the amount requested and the amount that could be paid means that some objectives have not been fully met or have not been accepted by the European Commission. The source article does not provide full details about the exact reasons for this difference, and the information is still preliminary.
This situation is important for Romanians, because PNRR funds must be used by the end of 2026 for the projects included in the plan. The Romanian authorities will have to decide how to cover the funding shortfall and which projects will be continued. Developments on this issue will be followed closely in the coming months.
