EU recovery and resilience facility current status

### Context

This dataset is a summary of the information provide on the webpage of the European Commission website on the Recovery and Resilience Facility part of the initiative known as #NextGenerationEU.

This dataset has been created to support my publications on [https://robertolofaro.com](https://robertolofaro.com).

If you search for "recovery and resilience facility status", the first link that Google returns is [this European Commission webpage](https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/recovery-coronavirus/recovery-and-resilience-facility_en).

The Recovery and Resilience Facility is accessible to the current 27 European Union (henceforth, EU) Member States, and contains both a "grants" and a "loans" components.

It was initiated in summer 2020 to support EU Member States in both recovering from the immediate impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, and to improve resilience in the event of future crisis, while also accelerating the dual digital and green transitions.

The first disbursements are expected to start in July 2021- you can read more details about the initiative, amounts involved, and overall workflow (including the financial schedule) at the link provided above.

The dataset will be updated as new information will be made available on that page, eventually should cover all the EU 27 (as of 2021-06-08, 23 Member States had provided a national recovery and resilience plan, as communicated by [the European Commission President on 2021-06-08](https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/speech_21_2887)

On 2021-07-13 also Malta presented its plan, while between 2021-06-16 and 2021-07-23 the following countries received an endorsement from the European Commission:

| when | country |
| --- | --- |
| 2021-06-16 | Portugal |
| 2021-06-16 | Spain |
| 2021-06-17 | Denmark |
| 2021-06-17 | Greece |
| 2021-06-18 | Luxembourg |
| 2021-06-21 | Austria |
| 2021-06-21 | Slovakia |
| 2021-06-22 | Latvia |
| 2021-06-22 | Germany |
| 2021-06-22 | Italy |
| 2021-06-23 | Belgium |
| 2021-06-23 | France |
| 2021-07-01 | Slovenia |
| 2021-07-02 | Lithuania |
| 2021-07-08 | Cyprus |
| 2021-07-08 | Croatia |
| 2021-07-16 | Ireland |
| 2021-07-19 | Czechia |

Accordingly, the dataset initially released on 2021-06-09 has been updated, and a new version, containing also the columns concerning the approval, has been added.

This latest file will be replaced in the future by other versions, as the plan deliveries by EU Member States will continue, and as the European Commission will issue new endorsements.

After the completion of the latter, a new file will be added to follow the evolution.

### Content

The information in this dataset has been extracted from two sources:
1. the European Commission webpage linked above
2. the press releases attached at the bottom of that webpage.

Caveat: within the assessed percent of the resources allocated to either climate or digital transformation, there is one case (Austria) where the endorsement press release contains a total that exceeds 100% (i.e. climate = 59%, digital transformation = 53%), as probably some initiatives cover both.

Therefore, in similar cases, the progress report reference figures that will be released after the final approval will be used, to avoid progress report to exceed 100%.

本数据集为欧洲委员会网站关于《下一代欧洲》倡议中恢复与弹性基金部分所提供信息的摘要。该数据集旨在支持我在[https://robertolofaro.com](https://robertolofaro.com)上的出版物。若搜索‘恢复与弹性基金状态’，谷歌搜索结果中第一条链接即为[欧洲委员会网页](https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/recovery-coronavirus/recovery-and-resilience-facility_en)。恢复与弹性基金对现时的27个欧盟成员国开放，并包含‘补助金’与‘贷款’两大组成部分。该基金始于2020年夏季，旨在协助欧盟成员国从COVID-19危机的即时影响中恢复，并提升应对未来危机的弹性，同时加速数字与绿色转型的双重转变。预计首次拨款将于2021年7月开始——您可点击上述链接，了解更多关于该倡议、涉及金额以及整体工作流程（包括财务时间表）的详细信息。随着该网页上新的信息发布，本数据集将不断更新，最终将涵盖所有27个欧盟成员国（截至2021年6月8日，已有23个成员国提交了国家恢复与弹性计划，如欧洲委员会主席于2021年6月8日所通报）。2021年7月13日，马耳他也提交了其计划，而2021年6月16日至7月23日期间，以下国家获得了欧洲委员会的认可：

| 时间 | 国家 |
| --- | --- |
| 2021-06-16 | 葡萄牙 |
| 2021-06-16 | 西班牙 |
| 2021-06-17 | 丹麦 |

据此，最初于2021年6月9日发布的本数据集已更新，并新增包含审批相关列的新版本。随着欧盟成员国计划的交付继续进行，以及欧洲委员会发布新的认可，未来将用其他版本替换此最新文件。在后者完成后，将新增文件以追踪其演变。### 内容
本数据集中信息来源于以下两个来源：
1. 上文所述的欧洲委员会网页
2. 该网页底部附带的新闻稿。
注意事项：在评估分配给气候或数字转型的资源百分比中，有一个案例（奥地利）的认可新闻稿中总额超过100%（即气候=59%，数字转型=53%），可能是因为某些倡议同时覆盖了两者。
因此，在类似情况下，将使用最终批准后发布的进展报告参考数据，以避免进展报告超过100%。### 致谢
至2021年7月23日欧洲中部夏令时工作日结束（CET时区）为止，从上述链接的网页及附带的新闻稿中手动提取信息。
### 灵感
这只是先前数据集的延续，专注于利用开放数据来启动分析。
