On 13 March, the Commission positively assessed Germany's third payment request for €4.6 billion in grants under the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU.
This is an important step in the delivery of the reforms and investments tied to this payment request, in the areas of research and innovation for the green transition, greening of transport and housing, public administration reform and digitalisation, as well as education and training.
The Commission found that Germany has satisfactorily completed the 5 milestones and 17 targets set out in the Council Implementing Decision.
