The European Commission has given a positive preliminary assessment for Luxembourgs request for €58 million under NextGenerationEU, which is central to Europes recovery strategy to create a greener, digital, and competitive Union.
The assessment confirms that Luxembourg has met the necessary milestones for this second instalment, which is supported by the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
Luxembourg has implemented three key reforms benefiting skills development, housing, and quantum communications, alongside five investments in transport, digital public services, health, and housing.
Key projects include:
- Vocational Training: A reform focused on skill enhancement and vocational training has been initiated, with new courses tailored to meet job market demands.
- Digital Government Services: Infrastructure for virtual appointments between citizens and the public administration has been developed to enhance service efficiency.
- Housing Renovation Subsidies: Legislation has been enacted to support home renovations for energy efficiency, as part of the REPowerEU initiative.
Next Steps
The assessment has been forwarded to the Economic and Financial Committee, which will provide its opinion within four weeks. Following a positive outcome, the Commission will authorize the payment to Luxembourg.
