Conference on the Transparency and Traceability of EU Recovery and Resilience Funding
Tuesday
15 October 2024 ,
9:30 – 17:30 (CET)
Join us for an engaging conference that tackles a critical question:
How transparent is the EU’s recovery and resilience funding ? Since the creation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) in early 2021, which was set up to help EU countries address the impacts of the pandemic and build more resilient economies, transparency and accountability have become key issues.
With €724 billion initially available, and €648 billion signed up by EU member states, the RRF has become the EU’s largest funding instrument to date. However, there are growing concerns about the transparency and traceability of the funds—from Brussels to national treasuries and, ultimately, to the final recipients.
Conference Highlights:
Panel Discussion with high-level experts on the transparency and traceability of RRF funding :
Ivana Maletić , ECA Member
Monika Hohlmeier , Vice-Chair of BUDG, CONT Member and EP Member
Emily O'Reilly , European Ombudsman
Elena-Alexandra Calistru , President of Funky Citizens, rapporteur of the EESC opinion on RRF’s mid-term evaluation
Daniel Nigohosyan , Principal consultant at Ecorys, involved in the RRF’s mid-term evaluation
Presentations from national RRF coordinating bodies discussing :
Traceability of RRF funds in practice
Transparency : How RRF data is being presented to the public
Transparency and traceability are essential to ensuring the effectiveness of EU funds and maintaining public trust, particularly for a fund as significant as the RRF, so this conference offers a unique opportunity to hear from key European watchdogs, national authorities and experts as they explore how to make RRF funding more transparent and accountable.
We invite all stakeholders to register and join us onsite or online for this timely and important discussion.
