Question for written answer E-000585/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Stefano Cavedagna (ECR)
As part of the revision of measure M2C2-I4.2 of Italy’s national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) – financed through NextGenerationEU – significant funding was earmarked for the construction of the red tram line and EUR 222 142 224.26 for the construction of the green tram line.
In addition, new EU target M2C2-25bis provides for the completion of measures to upgrade the infrastructure of existing rapid mass transport systems by 30 June 2026. It is possible that the municipality of Bologna will not meet that deadline, given the delays already encountered in upgrading the infrastructure in question.
In view of the above, I would ask the Commission:
- 1.If EU target M2C2-25bis is not met by the deadline, for reasons attributable to the municipality of Bologna as the contracting authority, will Italy have to repay the NextGenerationEU funding it received?
- 2.If so, and if it can be proven that the delay is the responsibility of the contracting authority, can the Member State recoup its losses from the local authority?
