Premier Giorgia Meloni said Thursday
that her government would seek to agree on changes to Italy's
National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP, or PNNR in Italian)
with the European Commission.
The NRRP seeks to make the Italian economy Greener and more
modern thanks to a huge investment plan, based primarily on EU
grants and low-interest loans worth close to 200 billion euros
and conditional on Rome passing a series of reform.
But Meloni, who was sworn in as Italy's first premier last
month, has been calling for the plan to be revised as it was
created in a situation that has subsequently changed
significantly following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"We must verify the most suitable measures with which to update
the NRRP with the EU," Meloni told the assembly of
local-authorities agency ANCI.
"As President (Sergio) Mattarella said, the NRRP is a date that
Italy cannot miss.
"It is an extraordinary opportunity to modernise Italy".
