MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Absorption of NSRF funds by Greece – E-001021/2025

Question for written answer  E-001021/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Sakis Arnaoutoglou (S&D)

The absorption of NSRF funds in Greece appears to be progressing slowly, with many critical projects in the areas of infrastructure, innovation and the green transition at a standstill. Management problems and bureaucratic red tape are preventing the timely and effective use of resources, putting the achievement of the programme’s objectives at risk.

In view of the above:

• 1.What is the Commission’s assessment of the current absorption rate of NSRF funds in Greece and what are the main reasons for the delays?
• 2.Does the Commission intend to provide additional technical support or impose corrective measures to ensure the timely and effective implementation of projects?
• 3.How does the Commission assess the Greek Government’s ability to complete the NSRF projects on time and avoid wasting funds?
