EPRS policy roundtable: EU finances: Is Next Generation EU delivering?
Tuesday 1 October 2024
According to the recent Draghi report, the EU is facing an existential challenge: to become more productive, it will require reforms and massive amounts of investment. Next Generation EU and its Recovery and Resilience Facility will, up until the end 2026, finance investment and reform measures through national plans for each Member State. The latest edition of the EPRS Economic Outlook Quarterly shows that implementation of the national plans is under way, but to varying degrees across the EU. This panel discussion brings together a distinguished panel of speakers to assess whether Next Generation EU is delivering on its objectives. Could lessons from these innovative instruments contribute to the debate on the future design of EU finances?
Speakers include:
Aurore LALUCQ, MEP, Chair of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs
Siegfried MUREŞAN, MEP, Co-rapporteur on the Recovery and Resilience Facility
Céline GAUER, Director-General of the Recovery and Resilience Task Force, European Commission
Eulalia RUBIO, Senior Research Fellow, Jacques Delors Institute , and Associate Senior Research Fellow, Centre for European Policy Studies
Sander TORDOIR, Chief Economist, Centre for European Reform

In March 2023, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a net-zero industry act that aims to expand the manufacturing capacity of net-zero technologies in the EU and enhance the resilience of its energy system. The proposed regulation would set up enabling conditions for the manufacturing of 10 net-zero technologies. The proposed regulation would aim to ensure that, by 2030, the manufacturing capacity in the EU for these strategic net-zero technologies reaches an overall benchmark of at least 40 % of the EUs annual deployment needs.

Since 2012 – when Xi was first made General-Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) – the China-Russia relationship has evolved into an informal alliance in the face of what both countries consider a rising threat from the West to their regimes. Chinas response to Russias war on has so far been much closer to Russia than it was in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. At the same time, developments since Russias invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 have increased Russias dependency on China, which some now qualify as a rising vassalisation of Russia.
