The Commission has granted €136 million of additional funding to six European Regional Development Fund Operational Programmes (OPs) in Poland under the Recovery Assistance for Cohesion and the Territories of Europe (REACT-EU). These funds will help Polish regions support their health systems in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and invest in their green and digital transition. Cohesion and Reforms Commissioner Elisa Ferreira (pictured) said: “Once more REACT-EU is bringing tangible support for citizens on the ground. These resources will help these Polish regions recover from the pandemic and will pave the way for a fair, digital and green transition. I would like to thank the Polish authorities for the collaboration in mobilising these resources.”

As part of NextGenerationEU, REACT-EU provides a top-up of €50.6 billion (in current prices) to Cohesion policy programmes over the course of 2021 and 2022. Measures focus on supporting labour market resilience, jobs, SMEs and low-income families, as well as setting future-proof foundations for the green and digital transitions and a sustainable socio-economic recovery in accordance with the REACT-EU objectives and with the 2020 country specific recommendations for the country concerned. REACT-EU entered into force on 24 December 2020 and can finance expenditure retroactively from 1 February 2020 until 31 December 2023. More information in the press release.
