Today, the European Commission positively assessed Germany's fourth and final payment request worth €6 billion under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU.

With this payment request, Germany has implemented all the reforms and investments included in its recovery and resilience plan – corresponding to a total of €30.3 billion.

This marks a major milestone in the implementation of the RRF and shows Germany's commitment to delivering reforms and investments under its national recovery and resilience plan.

The Commission found that Germany has satisfactorily completed the 8 milestones and 19 targets set out in the Council Implementing Decision. They correspond to reforms and investments in the areas of the clean transition of transport and energy infrastructure, energy efficiency of housing, as well as the digitalisation of healthcare and public administration.

Flagship measures in this payment request include:

  • Advancing the clean transition through energy-efficient renovation of more than   36,000 buildings, support for over 1,100 projects to decarbonise district heating systems, and funding for the   purchase of more than 3000 electric and fuel cell buses, more than 550 commercial electric vehicles and 1,000 charging stations.
  • Promoting an efficient and digital public administration, by enabling public authorities to securely retrieve standardised data from government databases, thereby reducing the administrative burden for citizens and businesses. In addition, support was provided for projects to digitalise processes and infrastructure across more than 1,600 German hospitals, helping to better integrate care and improve the efficiency of health services.
