📗#ECAJournal | @VDombrovskis is Executive Vice President of the @EU_Commission

As he explains, putting the #RRF into effect not only has economic & social aspects but requires flexibility to meet commitments & anticipate developments in current affairs https://medium.com/@euauditors/the-mere-creation-of-the-rrf-is-a-sign-of-resilience-in-itself-68ba9f8f5a8a

💬 “It was crucial that all #EU countries adopt common tools to coordinate free movement restrictions and facilitate #travel.

👉 Not all EU tools were taken up by Member States, and the success of the EU Digital COVID Certificate was not reflected in other tools.”

📲The EU Digital COVID Certificate helped to coordinate travel restrictions between 🇪🇺 countries.

However, the impact of other EU tools was modest, & the use of these tools varied significantly, so their impact in terms of facilitating #travel was uneven, according to our report

🎙️“#SURE reflected the emergency context & made 🇪🇺 funds available quickly & efficiently to cushion the pandemic’s impact.

However, its full impact is still unknown. Despite some indications of success, there is not enough hard data to assess how many jobs were actually saved.”

By August 2022, the Council had approved a total of €93.3 billion of financial assistance to 19 Member States.

➡️Of this total, nearly €92 billion (98 %) had been
disbursed by August 2022.
➡️18 out of 19 countries that used SURE have reported irregularities and alleged fraud

➡️The primary objective of #SURE is to provide financial assistance to Member States that are experiencing, or threatened with, a severe economic disturbance.

➡️In financing job retention schemes, SURE aims ultimately at reducing the incidence of #unemployment & loss of income.

The 🇪🇺’s support tool for crisis-hit workers & firms (#SURE) was a prompt response to mitigate the risk of massive layoffs due to the pandemic.

👉However, its impact cannot be properly assessed due to:

◽️The way the novel tool is designed
◽️Lack of good data at national level.

🗨️“Cross-border programmes have provided relevant and valuable support to enhance territorial cooperation across the #EU’s external borders.

👉But Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine seriously jeopardises some of the results achieved so far.”

🎙️Bettina Jakobsen.

EU-funded cross-border programmes with neighbouring countries have provided generally relevant support to both sides of the 🇪🇺’s external borders.

👉However, the current geopolitical context will have a significant impact on half of the programmes for the coming years.
