May 18, 2021 "The presentation of the NRPs is only the first step, then there is the involvement of local authorities to have a positive implementation, and the Commission will continue to pay due attention to everything". This was stated by the European Commissioner for Economy Paolo Gentiloni during the hearing in the plenary of the EU Parliament.
"All the recovery plans presented so far address the six pillars" indicated by the EU "but with different emphasis for each," said Gentiloni, who then reassured MEPs that they ask the Commission to be quick in its assessment of the plans. "Swiftness and careful scrutiny can coexist," he said.
It is essential to involve the Regions
The "involvement of local authorities" in the implementation of the national recovery and resilience plans, necessary to access the resources of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the heart of Next Generation Eu "is crucial", as is that of the "regional authorities," underlined Gentiloni . The Commission "will pay close attention to this aspect: success is not achieved behind a closed door".
Commitments made oblige us to succeed
"The Commission is the guardian of the EU treaty, the parliament that expresses the citizens, together we must defend the common good European. Our collaboration is for the recovery of Europe. The commitments made oblige us to be successful, your commitment is to make this happen ", European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni told the European Parliament.
Regulation does not provide for a preliminary assessment
"We are co-legislators and we have joint responsibility in a tight deadline, the college has the prerogative to adopt or not a proposal, the regulation does not provide for a preliminary assessment", said Gentiloni.
