Commission greenlights Estonia's fourth payment request for €135.5 million under NextGenerationEU
On 16 July, the European Commission positively assessed Estonia's fourth payment request under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU.
This payment request reflects significant progress across a wide range of reforms aimed at driving positive change for citizens and businesses in Estonia, notably in the area of digitalisation, education, health and the green transition, including supporting children with higher care needs and facilitating the deployment of renewable energy. It also supports the digital transition through the rollout of digital construction tools and development of a digital gateway for entrepreneurs.
The Commission found that Estonia has satisfactorily completed the 11 milestones and 10 targets set out in the Council Implementing Decision.
This payment request would bring the funds paid out to Estonia under the RRF to €763 million (including the €126 million in pre-financing it received in September 2021 and the €18 million pre-payment under REPowerEU it received on 21 December 2023), which correspond to 80% of all the funds in the Estonian plan, with 76% of all the milestones and targets in the plan fulfilled.
A press release is available online.
