Following the approval of Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and the corresponding pre-financing from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the European Commission is now assessing the implementation of the reforms pledged by the Spanish Government in relation to the first tranche of financing corresponding to the second half of 2021.
Following this assessment, the European Commission and the Spanish Government are to sign the operational agreement, which must include the timetable for reforms and investments (milestones and targets) that Spain has to meet in order to receive subsequent tranches of financing from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
The Spanish Government has stated that this document will not be made public, in a further demonstration of its lack of transparency and lack of willingness to cooperate with opposition political parties, Autonomous Communities, local authorities and civil society.
- 1.Once the operational agreement with the Spanish Government has been signed, will the Commission publish its content?
- 2.When will the Commission publish the assessment of the 52 measures which the Spanish Government pledged to implement in order to receive the first tranche of funding?
