Support Note on Engaging with the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) 2021

The Recovery and Resilience Facility combines grants and loans totaling EUR 672.5 billion, which Member States will be able to access by submitting National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs), together with their National Reform Programmes (between now and 30 April).
The National Recovery and Resilience Plans are the main reference documents of the European Semester this year, and they will have to outline national investment and reform agendas for the pandemic and post-pandemic context. The Plans should enable Member States to enhance their
economic growth potential, job creation and economic and social resilience, and to meet the green and digital transitions.

ERGO Network response to the Annual Sustainable Growth Strategy 2021

ERGO Network response to the Annual Sustainable Growth Strategy 2021

While there is no explicit mention of the European Roma in this year’s Annual Sustainable Growth Strategy, ERGO Network welcomes that “people with a minority racial or ethnic background” are indicated as having been disproportionately hit by the coronavirus crisis (page 9). We further salute commitments to “address long-standing challenges that affect the fairness
in society … and rising inequalities” (page 3), and to “support those who have been hit hardest by the crisis, such as … vulnerable groups” (page 4). Other proposed measures have the potential of being positive for Roma communities, hinging on the right implementation: reducing inequalities, addressing labour market segmentation, increasing the inclusiveness of the education systems (particularly for disadvantaged groups), ensuring equal access to affordable, accessible, quality healthcare, childcare, and long term care, tackling the digital divide, reducing energy poverty, and ensuring a just and socially fair transition across green policy areas.
