As part of the activities related to Europe Day, EUROPE DIRECT Gozo organised a business breakfast on Friday, 13th May 2022 at the Grand Hotel, Mġarr (Gozo).
The main objective of the event was be to provide an overview of the Next Generation EU with the input of different EU networks.
The Next Generation EU is more than just a recovery plan for EU Member States to recover from the pandemic. It is a plan to transform our economies, create opportunities and jobs for the Europe where we want to live. Also, it is a plan to make Europe greener, more digital and more resilient. This recovery plan is an investment of €806.9 billion. It is a budget fit not only for today’s realities but also for tomorrow’s uncertainties. The event focused specifically on the Recovery and Resilience Plans which are an integral part of the NextGenerationEU, with a specific emphasis on the national Recovery and Resilience Plan.
