27/05/2021 (Agence Europe) – Finland became the nineteenth Member State to officially present its national recovery plan under the Next Generation EU Recovery Plan on Thursday 27 May. With €2.1 billion in grants from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Finnish plan is built around four pillars: ecological transition, digitalisation and the data economy, employment and skills, and health and social services. The projects, reforms and investments identified cover the entire life of the Facility, i.e. until 2026. The European Commission now has 2 months to transcribe this plan into a legislative text containing milestones and a timetable for the gradual disbursement of financial assistance and submit its recommendation for adoption to the EU Council.
