Members of the Committee on Budgets (BUDG) and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) will hold their first joint exchange of views in the 10th term with Commissioner Ferreira on the implementation of the Technical Support Instrument (TSI) on Monday 21 October 2024 in Strasbourg.

This discussion will be organised under Article 15(3) of the Regulation establishing TSI to ensure greater transparency and accountability in implementing the instrument. The discussion is expected to focus on the main results of the instrument, reflected in the recently published TSI 2023 Annual Report and DG REFORM’s legacy report “Delivering on Reforms”.

The TSI’s objective, with a budget of EUR 864.4 million for the period 2021-2027 is to support Member States’ efforts to design and implement reforms at the national level to achieve economic and social recovery, resilience and convergence through tailor-made technical expertise, including reforms that address the challenges identified in the European Semester process of economic policy coordination. Furthermore, 66% of the TSI projects selected in 2023 were related to the implementation of the national recovery and resilience plans.
