On 27/05/2020 the European Commission adopted the Economic Recovery Package “Europe’s moment: repair and prepare for the next generation”, which aims to stimulate economic recovery across the EU to respond to the current crisis. The Package and the different initiatives reflect the fact that we are living through an unprecedented crisis. The EU faces political, economic, and social challenges that will frame and drive much of the European efforts in the months and years ahead.
The revised Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF) proposal brings a renewed European framework to the economic recovery.
