   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 19.11.2025  SWD(2025) 373 final  COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT Updated climate tracking and digital tagging of the recovery and resilience plan of  Austria Accompanying the document Proposal for a COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION amending the Implementing Decision of 13 July 2021 on the approval of the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan for Austria {COM(2025) 716 final}  
 
 
UPDATED CLIMATE TRACKING AND DIGITAL TAGGING OF THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE 
PLAN OF AUSTRIA 

The  table  below  presents  the  detailed  application  of  the  climate  tracking  and  digital  tagging 
methodologies  set  out  respectively  in  Annexes  VI  and  VII  to  Regulation  (EU)  2021/241  in  the 
modified recovery and resilience plan of Austria.  

Reforms and investments in the REPowerEU chapter are not taken into account when calculating 
the plan’s contribution to the digital target requirement set by Regulation (EU) 2021/241.   

Int. Field = intervention field. 

Coeff.  =  Coefficient  for  the  calculation  of  support  to  climate  change  objectives  and  to  digital 
transition, on the basis of Annex VI and Annex VII of the RRF Regulation. 

Revised measures are marked in  grey to  distinguish  them from the unchanged measures in  the 
RRP.

1 The ‘Methodology for climate tracking’ annexed to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation does not set out 
intervention  fields  that  would  allow  for  climate  or  environmental  tracking  of  electric  vehicles  or  plug-in  hybrid 
vehicles, except for vehicles for urban transport falling under intervention field 074. According to Article 18(4)(e) of 
the Regulation, the methodology should however ‘be used accordingly for measures that cannot be directly assigned 
to an intervention field listed in Annex VI’. In this context, the Commission has applied a 100% climate contribution 
coefficient for zero-emission vehicles of all categories (this includes battery electric and fuel cell/hydrogen-powered 
vehicles).

While the estimated cost of Austria’s recovery and resilience plan exceeds the total allocation of 
non-repayable  financial  support  to  Austria,  Austria  will  ensure  that  all  spending  related  to  the 
measures mentioned in this table as contributing to climate objectives are fully financed by the 
funds from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
