Push for permanent RRF faces scrutiny amidst latest €600m fraud in Italy
In this episode of our daily ‘Today in the EU’ podcast, we take a deep dive into the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
The EU’s economic chief Paolo Gentiloni called for turning the bloc’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) into a “permanent” resource, arguing that its temporary nature hasn't helped the programme would unleash its full potential. However, the European Court of Auditors is warning about the risk of frauds when it comes to EU funds after cases of embezzlement were detected in Greece and Italy.
To break this topic down we have with us Euractiv's economy hub: Anna Brunetti, Thomas Moeller Nielsen and Jonathan Packroff.
