On 8 April 2025, the Members of the Committee on Budgetary Control will vote on the draft opinion to BUDG and ECON Committees implementation report on the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
In her draft opinion, notably, the CONT Rapporteur expresses concern over the interpretation of the concept of ‘final recipient’ under the RRF, as final recipients are often listed only at the ministry level. She reiterates the Parliament’s call that the list of the 100 largest final recipients for each Member State provide the actual natural person or entity that is the last in the chain of money transfers in order to be able to measure the impact of RRF funds and guarantee their visibility to EU citizens. She also urges the Commission to strengthen the design of any future performance-based instruments by developing adequate governance that allows the Parliament to act as budgetary authority.
