Paragraph 20
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 20. Notes with concern the Commission’s estimation that the total cost for NGEU capital interest repayments are projected to be around EUR 25 to 30 billion per year from 2028, equivalent to 15-20 % of the 2025 annual budget ; recalls that recourse to special instruments had to be made in the last three budgetary procedures to cover EURI instrument costs; highlights that the significant increase in financing costs puts pressure on the future EU budget and limits the capacity to respond to future challenges; | 20.

Paragraph 22
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 22. Notes that 47 % of the available RRF funds had been disbursed by 31 December 2024, with grants reaching 55 % and loans 37 %, which has resulted in a high proportion of measures still to be completed in 2025 and 2026; is concerned, however, about the ECA’s finding that only 50 % of disbursed funds had reached final beneficiaries in 15 out of 22 Member States by October 2023; calls on the Commission to take the recommendations of the ECA duly into account in order to improve the functioning of any future performance-based instruments similar to the RRF, in particular in the context of a more targeted MFF; | 22.

Paragraph 23
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 23. Welcomes the fact that all Member States have surpassed the targets for the green (37 %) and the digital transitions (20 %), with average expenditure towards climate and digital objectives of the RRF as a whole standing at 42 % and 26 % respectively; notes that the ECA has cast doubt on how the implementation of RRF measures has contributed to the green transition and has recommended improvements to the methodologies used to estimate the impact of climate-related measures; highlights the fact that the same methodological deficiencies exist across all pillars of the RRF; | 23. Notes that the ECA has cast doubt on how the implementation of RRF measures has contributed to the green transition and has recommended improvements to the methodologies used to estimate the impact of climate-related measures; highlights the fact that the same methodological deficiencies exist across all pillars of the RRF, which reinforces the general impression that the real and concrete results of the RRF are far more modest than the lofty ambitions publicly proclaimed; |

Paragraph 24
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 24. Notes the tangible impact that the RRF could have on social objectives, with Member States planning to spend around EUR 163 billion; underlines that such spending must be result-oriented, ensuring measurable economic and/or social benefits; stresses the need to accelerate investments in the development of rural, peripheral and outermost, isolated and remote areas, and in the fields of affordable housing, social protection and the integration of vulnerable groups, and youth employment, where expenditure is lagging behind; calls for an in-depth evaluation by the Commission, under the RRF Scoreboard, of the projects and reforms related to education and young people implemented by Member States under the RRF; regrets the delayed implementation of health objectives observed in certain Member States, given that the instrument should also improve the accessibility and capacity of health systems, and of key social infrastructure investments, including early childhood education and care facilities; stresses that these delays, in some cases linked to shifting budgetary priorities and revised national implementation timelines, risk undermining the achievement of the RRF’s social cohesion objectives; | 24.

Paragraph 30 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 30a. Expresses serious doubts as to the RRF’s ability to achieve its initial objectives, given the significant disparities in absorption rates and the persistent difficulties in accessing the funds; fears that, far from strengthening sustainability, resilience and preparedness for future challenges, the RRF may in fact exacerbate existing imbalances and divergences between EU Member States, thereby demonstrating that it was poorly conceived and hastily designed; |

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 33
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 33. Highlights the role of ‘super milestones’ in protecting the EU’s financial interests against rule of law deficiencies and in ensuring the full implementation of the requirements under Article 22 of the RRF Regulation; welcomes the fact that all but one Member State have satisfactorily fulfilled their ‘super milestones’; recalls that the Commission must recover any pre-financing that has not been netted against regular payment requests by the end of the RRF; | 33. Highlights the fact that the Commission’s assessment of the fulfilment of milestones is not sufficiently transparent but rather is political without well-defined objectives or clear standards and deadlines; recalls, in this regard, the discretionary power of the Commission; regrets the fact that, as a result, it is possible to misuse super milestones as political blackmail in certain Member States; |

Paragraph 33 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 33a. Stresses that the Commission’s assessment of the fulfilment of milestones lacks transparency and appears to be politically motivated rather than based on objective, clear criteria with specific deadlines; recalls, in this context, the wide margins of discretion available to the Commission, which itself lacks democratic legitimacy; regrets the fact that, as a result, milestones may potentially be used as instruments of political blackmail against democratically elected governments; underlines that such practices can have a lasting impact on the relationship of trust between citizens and the European Union; |

Paragraph 34
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 34. Notes the high administrative burden and complexity brought by the RRF; stresses the considerable efforts required at national level to implement the RRF in parallel with structural funds; notes that between 2021 and 2024 the demand-driven Technical Support Instrument supported more than 500 RRF-related reforms in the Member States, directly or indirectly related to the preparation, amendment, revision and implementation of the NRRPs; takes note of the Commission guidance of July 2024 with simplifications and clarifications to streamline RRF implementation but expects the Commission to act swiftly on its promise to cut the administrative burden by 25 %; urges the Commission to give clear and targeted technical support to the Member States, allowing them to develop efficient administrative capacity to implement the milestones and targets; calls on the Commission to decrease the level of complexity of EU public procurement rules which apply to higher-value contracts; | 34.

Paragraph 36
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 36. Believes that implementation delays underscore the risk that measures for which RRF funding has been paid will not be completed by the 2026 payment deadline; welcomes the Commission’s statement at the Recovery and Resilience Dialogue (RRD) of 16 September 2024 that it will not reimburse non-implemented projects; considers it a shortcoming that RRF funds paid for milestones and targets assessed as fulfilled cannot be recovered if related measures are not eventually completed; encourages the Commission to take into account the ECA’s recommendations related to this and to assess, in cooperation with the Member States, the measures most at risk of not being completed by 31 August 2026; stresses the importance of monitoring these measures, facilitating timely follow-up and working towards solutions to overcome delays; | 36.
