In light of the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union has launched recovery instrument Next Generation EU. For the recovery package to help the EU economy, it is vital that the funds that have been made available can be allocated rapidly in the Member States.

Elisabetta Manunza will share her assessment of the challenges that public procurement procedures were faced with during the beginning of the crisis.

The EPP Hearing will take place on Thursday 15th of October 2020.
