MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Ensuring transparency, efficiency and equal access in the Recovery and Resilience Facility’s digitalisation projects – E-001668/2025

Source: European Parliament

Question for written answer  E-001668/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Sakis Arnaoutoglou (S&D)

A large part of the Recovery and Resilience Facility’s resources has been committed to the implementation of public sector digitalisation projects, which are in many cases undertaken by a few powerful companies. However, there are concerns about delays, low efficiency and the extent to which these projects actually boost regional development and the needs of the agriculture, fishing and local infrastructure sectors. Meanwhile, smaller and innovative businesses are often excluded from the process.

In view of the above:

  • 1.What measures is the Commission putting in place to ensure the transparency and efficient implementation of the digitalisation projects financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility?
  • 2.How is equal access to the design and execution of these projects ensured for small and medium-sized enterprises?
  • 3.Is there provision for evaluating the contribution of IT projects to strengthening agricultural production, fishing and regional infrastructure, so that investments also benefit local communities and not just large companies?
