The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) was set up in February 2021 under Regulation (EU) 2021/241 to help the EU recover from the COVID-19 crisis. The Facility was created to be an innovative, demand-driven performance-based instrument and to provide direct financial support to Member States to carry out reforms and make investments. The implementation of the RRF is now fully underway and, to date, EUR 144 billion has already been paid out to Member States.
In line with the Regulation (Article 32), the European Commission is carrying out a mid-term evaluation to assess if and to what extent the objectives of the RRF have been achieved, how efficiently resources have been used, and what has been the EU added value.
The objective of this public consultation is to gather your views on how the RRF is working and use them to feed into this evaluation. The results of this consultation will be analysed and summarised in a synopsis report that will be part of the evaluation report.
