EU Recovery Plan

< Dialogue agenda of team economy
 * Index: Recovery fund
 * Movement: Economy movement

Introduction

 * The EU created a fund of €672,5 billion euro.
 * In December 2020 Damian Boeselager (MEP for Volt) wrote a LinkedIn-post in which he explains that countries should write a National Recovery Plan.
 * In November 2020 Damian Boeselager (MEP for Volt) shares his priorities on LinkedIn: 1. The money should be spent on European priorities, not just to plug gaps in national budgets. Parliament needs to be able to control that money is spent well and hold governments accountable. 2. The recovery has to be green and digital! All member states need to spend at least 40% (269 billion!) on biodiversity & climate related spending and 20% on digital transformation (134.5 billion).

Recent developments

 * In June the European Commision presented a plan with gifts. But countries that want money are going to make a plan that will be checked by the European Commission and member states.
 * In May 2020 the Frugal Four presented a alternative plan to the recovery plan. They want to connect conditions to countries that need money.
