Following the covid-19 pandemic, the European Commission set up a Recovery and Resilience task Force to negotiate, approve and make payments linked to Investment Plans financed under #NextGenerationEU (€806 billion). I joined the task force´s “Green & Spain” unit in charge of negotiating and monitoring the implementation of the Recovery Plan in Spain. In July 2021, we concluded successful negotiations on the Spanish Recovery and Resilience Plan, a €69.5 billion grant-package (5% of Spain´s pre-covid GDP) to invest in the green and digital transition, and speed up the recovery process.In September 2023, we concluded negotiations on an addenda to the Recovery and Resilience Plan to include a €83 billion loan-package and a revised grant allocation of €10 billion. Within the team, I was in charge of the Financial Instruments (€65bn) and the Research&Innovation chapters.The task force is responsible for the approval of payments made under the Plan subject to the successful achievement of pre-agreed targets. I participated in the first three payments (totalling €36 billions) to Spain.
