EUROPEAN COMMISSION
            Brussels, 17.6.2021
            COM(2021) 328 final
            2021/0159(NLE)
            Proposal for a
            COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION 
            on the approval of the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan for Greece
            {SWD(2021) 155 final}
            
               
         
         
            
            
            
               2021/0159 (NLE)
            
            
               Proposal for a
            
            
               COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
            
            
               on the approval of the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan for Greece
            
            
               THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
            
            
               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
            
            
               Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility
                  1
                and in particular Article 20 thereof,
            
            
               Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
            
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)The COVID-19 outbreak has had a disruptive impact on the economy of Greece In 2019, the gross domestic product per capita in current prices (GDP per capita) of Greece was 55 % of the EU average. According to the Commission’s 2021 Spring forecast, the real GDP of Greece declined by 8,2 % in 2020 and is expected to decline by 4,5 % cumulatively in 2020 and 2021. Longer-standing aspects with an impact on medium-term economic performance include in particular the high level of long-term unemployment, low productivity growth due to a concentration of economic activity in traditional and low-innovation sectors; moreover, high regulatory burdens, red tape and a slow and inefficient justice system hamper private investments.
            
            
               (2)On 9 July 2019 and on 20 July 2020, the Council addressed recommendations to Greece in the context of the European Semester. In particular, in 2019, the Council recommended to Greece to take action in 2019 and 2020 to a) achieve a sustainable economic recovery and tackle the excessive macroeconomic imbalances by continuing and completing reforms in line with the post-programme commitments given at the Eurogroup of 22 June 2018 (country-specific recommendation 1 2019)
                  2
               ; and b) focus investment-related economic policy on sustainable transport and logistics, environmental protection, energy efficiency, renewable energy and interconnection projects, digital technologies, research and development, education, skills, employability, health, and the renewal of urban areas, taking into account regional disparities and the need to ensure social inclusion (country-specific recommendation 2 2019). In 2020, the Council recommended to Greece to take action in 2020 and 2021 to a) take all necessary measures to effectively address the pandemic, sustain the economy and support the ensuing recovery in line with the ‘general escape clause’; when economic conditions allow, pursue fiscal policies aimed at achieving prudent medium-term fiscal positions and ensuring debt sustainability, while enhancing investment; strengthen the resilience of the health system and ensure adequate and equal access to healthcare (country-specific recommendation 1 2020); b); mitigate the employment and social impacts of the crisis, including by implementing measures such as short-time work schemes and ensuring effective activation support (country-specific recommendation 2 2020); c) swiftly deploy measures to provide liquidity and continued flow of credit and other financing to the economy, focusing in particular on small and medium-sized enterprises most affected by crisis; front-load mature public investment projects and promote private investment to foster the economic recovery; focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on safe and sustainable transport and logistics, clean and efficient production and use of energy, environmental infrastructure and very-high capacity digital infrastructure and skills; improve the effectiveness and digitalisation of the public administration and promote digital transformation of businesses (country-specific recommendation 3 2020); and d) continue and complete reforms in line with the post-programme commitments given at the Eurogroup of 22 June 2018 to restart a sustainable economic recovery, following the gradual easing up of constraints imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak (country-specific recommendation 4 2020). Having assessed progress in the implementation of these country-specific recommendations at the time of submission of the recovery and resilience plan, the Commission finds that substantial progress has been achieved with respect to the recommendations on effectively addressing the pandemic, including by implementing measures such as short-time work schemes and providing liquidity to affected companies, as well as with respect to the recommendation to continue and complete reforms in line with the post-programme commitments given at the Eurogroup of 22 June 2018.
            
            
               (3)On 2 June 2021, the Commission published an in-depth review under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  3
                for Greece. The Commission’s analysis led it to conclude that Greece is experiencing excessive macroeconomic imbalances, in particular related to high government debt, incomplete external rebalancing and high non-performing loans, in a context of high unemployment and low potential growth. 
            
            
               (4)[The Council recommendation on the economic policy of the euro area recommended to euro area Member States to take action, including through their recovery and resilience plans, to, inter alia, ensure a policy stance which supports the recovery and to further improve convergence, resilience and sustainable and inclusive growth. The Council recommendation also recommended to strengthen national institutional frameworks, to ensure macro-financial stability and to complete EMU and strengthen the international role of the euro.] [If the Council recommendation is not adopted by the time of the CID adoption, the recital will be removed].] 
            
            
               (5)On 27 April 2021, Greece formally submitted its national recovery and resilience plan to the Commission, in accordance with Article 18(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. That submission followed a consultation process, conducted in accordance with the national legal framework, of local and regional authorities, social partners, civil society organisations, youth organisations and other relevant stakeholders. The national ownership of the recovery and resilience plans is underpinning their successful implementation and lasting impact at national level and credibility at European level. Pursuant to Article 19 of that Regulation, the Commission has assessed the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and coherence of recovery and resilience plan, taking into account the assessment guidelines of Annex V to that Regulation. 
            
            
               (6)The recovery and resilience plans should pursue the general objectives of the Recovery and Resilience Facility established by Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and of the EU Recovery Instrument set up by Council Regulation (EU) 2020/2094
                  4
                in order to support the recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. They should promote the Union´s economic, social and territorial cohesion by contributing to the six pillars referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241(7). The implementation of the Member States’ recovery and resilience plans will constitute a coordinated effort of investment and reforms across the Union. Through the coordinated and simultaneous implementation of these reforms and investments and the implementation of cross-border projects, these reforms and investments will mutually reinforce each other and generate positive spillovers across the whole Union. Therefore, about one third of the impact of the Facility on Member States’ growth and job creation will come from spillovers from other Member States. 
            
            
               Balanced response contributing to the six pillars 
            
            
               (7)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (a) and section 2.1 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the recovery and resilience plan represents to a large extent (Rating A) a comprehensive and adequately balanced response to the economic and social situation, thereby contributing appropriately to all six pillars referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, taking the specific challenges, the financial allocation of the Member State concerned and the requested loan support into account.
            
         
         
            
               (8)Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 provides that the scope of application of the Facility should refer to policy areas of European relevance structured in six pillars: (a) green transition; (b) digital transformation; (c) smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, including economic cohesion, jobs, productivity, competitiveness, research, development and innovation, and a well-functioning internal market with strong SMEs; (d) social and territorial cohesion; (e) health, and economic, social and institutional resilience, with the aim of, inter alia, increasing crisis preparedness and crisis response capacity; and (f) policies for the next generation, children and the youth, such as education and skills. The reforms and investments included in the plan contribute to all six aforementioned pillars. Further, there is an overall balance between pillars (c), (d), (e) and (f). Therefore, the plan represents to a large extent a comprehensive and adequately balanced response to Greece’s economic and social situation.
            
            
               (9)More specifically, as regards green transition, the plan includes measures intended to move Greece towards a low-carbon energy model, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase renewable energy sources, promote energy-efficiency and the energy renovation of buildings, introduce sustainable transport modes and protect the natural environment. Reforms and investments on digital transformation relate to enhancing connectivity and broadband coverage, digitalising public administration and key sectors of the economy, and developing digital infrastructures and digital skills. To sustain smart and inclusive growth, the plan provides for measures to reinforce private investments, including for SMEs, improve the business environment, stimulate research, development and innovation performance, increase employment and link skills to jobs, and enhance the efficiency of the public administration and the justice system. Further, targeted interventions are designed to strengthen social cohesion by addressing challenges related to labour market participation, skills development, and equal opportunities, while a number of investments facilitate territorial cohesion. Moreover, to mitigate adverse shocks and better respond to crises, the plan contains actions to tackle long standing issues of the healthcare and social protection systems (social resilience), foster sustainability of public revenues, financial sector resilience, and economic activity diversification (economic resilience), and ensure efficient public administration and sound governance (institutional resilience). Concerning policies for the next generation, reforms and investments across all levels of education aim at digitalising processes and infrastructures, and developing digital skills for the youth, while other measures focus on early childhood education and care.
            
            
               (10)Greece aims to promote private investments, through a ‘Loan Facility’ which should make use of the following distribution channels: (i) international financial institutions, through operational agreements; (ii) commercial banks, through an open call for selection; (iii) an equity platform, through a mandate agreement; and (iv) InvestEU Member State compartment, through a contribution agreement. The aforementioned agreements and the call for the selection of commercial banks should include provisions on the selection criteria of supported companies for compliance with Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and the ‘do no significant harm’ technical guidance of the Commission (2021/C58/01), requiring the use of sustainability proofing, an exclusion list, mandatory legal compliance checks for transactions exempt from sustainability proof by an independent auditor and selection of activities in compliance with relevant Union and national environmental legislation. The commitment for international financial institutions, commercial banks, and InvestEU to invest funds to support the climate and digital transition should be conducted using the methodology in Annexes VI and VII to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, while independent auditors should verify compliance with the principle of do not significant harm and with the climate and digital targets under Regulation (EU) 2021/241. 
            
            
               Addressing all or a significant subset of challenges identified in Country Specific Recommendations
            
            
               (11)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (b) and section 2.2 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241 the recovery and resilience plan is expected to contribute to effectively addressing all or a significant subset of challenges (Rating A) identified in the relevant country-specific recommendations, including fiscal aspects thereof, and recommendations made pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1176/2011, addressed to Greece or challenges identified in other relevant documents officially adopted by the Commission in the context of the European Semester. With respect to country-specific recommendation 1 2019 and country-specific recommendation 4 2020, policies pursued to address specific commitments given by Greece in the Eurogroup in June 2018 will continue to be monitored under enhanced surveillance. 
            
            
               (12)The recommendations related to the immediate fiscal policy response to the pandemic can be considered as falling outside the scope of Greece’s recovery and resilience plan. In line with the provisions of the General Escape Clause, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic downturn, Greece has adopted budgetary measures to strengthen the capacity of its health system, contain the pandemic and provide relief to those individuals and sectors that have been particularly affected. This forceful policy response has cushioned the contraction in GDP, which, in turn, curtailed the increase in government deficit and public debt.
                  5
                
            
            
               (13)The plan includes an extensive set of mutually reinforcing reforms and investments that contribute to effectively addressing all or a significant subset of the economic and social challenges outlined in the country-specific recommendations addressed to Greece by the Council in the European Semester in 2019 and in 2020, notably in the areas of quality and sustainability of public finances; accessibility and resilience of the health system; active labour market policies; policies supporting public and private investments in the areas of education, skills and employability; research and development; safe and sustainable transport and logistics, clean and efficient production and use of energy including renewable energy and interconnection projects; environmental infrastructures; renewal of urban areas; and the digital transformation of the public administration and businesses. The plan also includes a significant number of measures addressing challenges in the areas of fiscal structural policies, social welfare, financial stability, labour and product markets, and the modernisation of public administration, following up, broadening and complementing post-programme commitments. In the medium-term, given its strong focus on investment, employment and productivity-enhancing policies, the implementation of the plan is expected to support the economic recovery and thus contribute to achieving a prudent fiscal position and ensuring debt sustainability in line with the relevant country-specific recommendation (country-specific recommendation 1 2020). The proposed active labour market policies are diverse and targeted at groups in need of support, aiming at job creation while contributing to the green transition (country-specific recommendation 2 2020). The plan supports addressing important challenges of the Greek education system and foresees sizeable investment in skills through life-long learning, with great focus on digital transformation in both education segments (country-specific recommendation 3 2020 and country-specific recommendation 2 2019). Targeted measures are put forward to support social integration of vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities and homeless people, Roma and people living in extremely poverty, while there are a number of measures to promote participation of women to the labour market (country-specific recommendation 2 2020). 
            
            
               (14)The plan foresees to front-load the implementation of mature public investment projects and to promote private investments in priority sectors, including those contributing to the digital and green transition, with measures related to energy efficiency, sustainable transport, environmental protection and the renewal of urban areas, commensurate to the related challenges in line with the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (country-specific recommendation 3 2020 and country-specific recommendation 2 2019). Moreover, the plan supports addressing challenges related to the digitalisation of the public administration and businesses (country-specific recommendation 3 2020 and country-specific recommendation 2 2019). The plan builds on and complements key structural reforms started under the economic adjustment programmes to improve the broader functioning of the economy and which are currently monitored under the enhanced surveillance framework. The plan proposes ambitious reforms of the business environment, labour market and social policies, the health-care system and of the public administration including the tax administration and justice. These reforms are flanked by investments supporting their implementation (country-specific recommendation 4 2020 and country-specific recommendation 1 2019). 
            
            
               (15)By addressing the aforementioned challenges, the implementation of the plan is expected to also contribute to correcting the excessive macroeconomic imbalances that Greece is experiencing, notably with respect to high government debt, incomplete external rebalancing and high non-performing loans, in a context of high unemployment and low potential growth.
                  6
                
            
            
               Contribution to growth potential, job creation and economic, social and institutional resilience
            
            
               (16)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (c) and section 2.3 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the recovery and resilience plan is expected to have a high impact  (Rating A) on strengthening the growth potential, job creation, and economic, social and institutional resilience of Greece, contributing to the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, including through the promotion of policies for children and youth, and on mitigating the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 crisis, thereby enhancing the economic, social and territorial cohesion and convergence within Greece and the Union.
            
            
               (17)Simulations by the Commission services show that the plan has the potential to increase the real GDP of Greece by 2,1 – 3,3% by 2026.
                  7
                The plan builds upon and is consistent with the comprehensive ‘Development Plan for the Greek Economy’, published in November 2020
                  8
               . As such, it addresses the main obstacles affecting long-term growth in Greece, including notably the sizable investment gap and the need to improve the quality of education, as well as the efficiency and quality of public administration and of the justice system. The implementation of the planned active labour market policies, reskilling and upskilling has the potential to increase labour market participation and employment, including that of women. 
            
            
               (18)Several measures are expected to increase the productivity of the economy. Some reforms aim to improve business environment and to help the ease of doing business, which is complemented by advances in digitalisation. The public administration is expected to be modernised and regulatory and administrative burden is set to be reduced, while improvements in tax administration should help to create a more growth-friendly tax environment. The plan includes an ambitious agenda to improve the efficiency and quality of the justice system through digitalisation, revision of judicial maps, and projects investing in physical and human capital. Furthermore, additional funds provided to the private sector through the Loan Facility are expected to induce private investment. 
            
            
               (19)The plan presents a comprehensive set of measures to address labour market deficiencies and to improve social cohesion. These measures are expected to build capacities of employment and social institutions. The revision of the labour code, and improvements in public administration efficiency thanks to digitalisation and better labour market monitoring are also expected to reduce vulnerabilities to shocks. Furthermore, these measures are expected to contribute to cohesion by fostering participation in the labour market, including for vulnerable groups.
            
            
               (20)The implementation of the plan is expected to effectively contribute to addressing a multitude of employment and social challenges relevant for the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights. To foster equal opportunities and access to the labour market, the plan envisages a new strategy for lifelong learning and a modernisation of the upskilling and reskilling system. The reform would redesign and upgrade the current fragmented programmes, establishing new curricula linked to labour market needs and an assessment framework for the providers of upskilling programmes. Investments in further upgrading of vocational education and training are also envisaged. With a view to improving labour market dynamics, Greece also plans significant investments in upskilling and reskilling programmes. 
            
            
               Do no significant harm
            
            
               (21)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (d) and section 2.4 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the recovery and resilience plan is expected to ensure that no measure for the implementation of reforms and investment projects included in the recovery and resilience plan does significant harm to environmental objectives (Rating A) within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council 
                  9
                (the principle of ‘do no significant harm’). 
            
            
               (22)For each of the measures, the recovery and resilience plan is expected to ensure that no significant harm is done to any of the six environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 2020/852, namely climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, circular economy, pollution prevention and control, and protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. Greece provided justifications following the ‘do no significant harm’ technical guidance adopted by the Commission (2021/C 58/01). Where needed, Greece has proposed the implementation of mitigating measures to ensure that significant harm is avoided, which should be ensured through the respective milestones and targets.
            
            
               (23)Particular attention is paid to horizontal schemes, including those for which a loan is requested, where the requirements for complying with the principle of ‘do no significant harm’ are enshrined in the design of the schemes and should be specified in a milestone or target.
            
            
               Contribution to the green transition including biodiversity 
            
         
         
            
               (24)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (e) and section 2.5 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the recovery and resilience plan contains measures that effectively contribute to a large extent (Rating A) to the green transition, including biodiversity, or to addressing the challenges resulting therefrom. The measures supporting climate objectives account for an amount which represents 37,5 % of the plan’s total allocation, calculated in accordance with the methodology of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) 2021/241. In accordance with Article 17 Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the recovery and resilience plan is consistent with the information included in the National Energy and Climate Plan 2030.
            
            
               (25)Reforms and investments are expected to make a significant contribution to advance the decarbonisation and energy transition objectives of Greece as set out in the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP 2030) and the Carbon Neutrality Roadmap 2050, thereby contributing to the Union’s climate target and objective respectively. A number of the investments contributing to the green transition are embedded in broader national plans, such as the long term renovation strategy, waste management strategy, reforestation, circular economy and biodiversity, and are expected towards the implementation of these strategies. 
            
            
               (26)The recovery and resilience plan contains measures addressing a number of challenges in the green transition areas. On clean energy, the plan contains both reforms and investments that are expected to increase the renewable energy sources in Greece’s energy mix. Sizeable investments are planned that are expected to improve the energy efficiency of Greece’s ageing housing stock, complemented by actions targeting energy poor households. Other significant climate and environmental contributions are provided by measures supporting sustainable mobility through both reforms and investments that are expected to improve urban public transport and enhance the infrastructure for electric vehicles. The plan contains investments that are expected to support biodiversity, through reforestation aiming to restore degraded forest ecosystems, and strengthening of the environmental protection through the introduction of a monitoring system of species and habitat types. The plan includes investments on sustainable agriculture that are expected to promote innovation and protect the environment through improving the environmental profile of agricultural holdings and mitigate the effects of climate change. Finally, the Loan Facility should target climate-related activities in a selected number of intervention fields, such as energy efficiency and demonstration projects for the private sector with significant energy savings or reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, new renewable energy sources’ capacity (solar and wind) and smart energy systems.
            
            
               (27)On the environmental objectives as set out in Regulation (EU) No 2020/852
                  10
               , the plan includes measures on climate change mitigation that are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mainly through enhancing energy efficiency of buildings. The plan includes a number of measures related to climate change adaptation, including preparation of local urban plans that are expected to facilitate urban renewal and make the cities more climate resilient and to strengthen flood mitigation infrastructure. Further, measures on water supply and urban wastewater are linked with specific targets that are expected to reduce water leakage and energy consumption, thus contributing to a more sustainable use of water resources. Finally, with regard to biodiversity, the plan covers a reforestation measure that is expected to increase the forest-covered area by 16 500 ha using mostly native species. 
            
            
               Contribution to the digital transition 
            
            
               (28)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (f) and section 2.6 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the recovery and resilience plan contains measures that effectively contribute to a large extent (Rating A) to the digital transition or to addressing the challenges resulting from it. The measures supporting digital objectives account for an amount which represents 23,3 % of the plan’s total allocation, calculated in accordance with the methodology of Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2021/241.
            
            
               (29)The recovery and resilience plan contains measures in the digital transition areas addressing the related challenges and is overall well aligned with key objectives of the Digital Strategy of the Union and with the priorities related to digital set out by the Commission in the 2021 Annual Sustainable Growth Strategy. These measures concern connectivity, interoperability in the design of public services, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, development of digital skills, availability of open data and the empowerment and equal participation of women, older people and vulnerable groups in the digital age. Component 2.1 of the plan contains investments to facilitate the installation of fibre optic infrastructure in buildings, the development of 5G networks covering all major Greek highways, the deployment of submarine cables for interconnection of Greek islands and the interconnection with Cyprus and the utilisation of space technologies and applications. Reforms institute the framework needed to facilitate the switch to fast broadband connections and the transition to 5G technology. Measures in Component 2.2 target the digital transformation of public sector entities as regards archives and enhanced digital services, business process improvements, increased interoperability between systems and data, cybersecurity and data governance strategies and policies as well as extended use of advanced technologies such as cloud computing and big data. Component 2.3, in conjunction also with measures under Component 4.1, aims to boost the adoption of digital technologies by businesses, in particular SMEs by tackling key challenges of digital inclusion. These initiatives are expected to allow for the creation of the digital business ecosystem and support SMEs in obtaining digital services, data platforms and spaces, and new technology cash registers and Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminals. In conjunction with other measures under Components 4.1 and 4.6, measures under Component 2.3 are expected to contribute to the digital transition of the Greek industry, to accelerate its transition to Industry 4.0, and to transform firms’ business models to increase their competitiveness and resilience. The plan also includes, under Component 3.2, measures aimed at bridging the current digital gap in the human capital dimension, by modernizing and upgrading the life-long learning system and by providing upskilling and reskilling for the workforce that correspond to the needs of the market, with a focus on digital skills. Such measures are expected to contribute to bridging the digital divide and to reinforce basic digital literacy across the entire population. Finally, the Loan Facility should target digital-related activities in a number of intervention fields, in particular through investments in very high capacity broadband networks, investments aimed at digitalizing both SMEs and large enterprises, investments in the development and deployment of cybersecurity technologies, advanced digital technologies and other types of ICT infrastructure.
            
            
               (30)The measures of the plan related to the digital transition appear well aligned with Greece’s shortcomings in the digital field as identified in the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI). These measures are expected to effectively complement existing national plans and initiatives and, overall, to significantly contribute to the digital transformation of the Greek economy and society, by contributing to improving the competitiveness and resilience of the economy, while ensuring inclusiveness. In addition, these measures are expected to bring a transformational change and have a lasting impact. 
            
            
               Lasting impact 
            
            
               (31)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (g) and section 2.7 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the recovery and resilience plan is expected to have a lasting impact on Greece to a large extent (Rating A). 
            
            
               (32)The plan comprises a series of reforms which are expected to induce lasting changes on policies and facilitate their effective implementation. Reforms to ease the administrative burden of doing business, and improve regulatory quality are conducive to creating a level-playing field for businesses and unlocking Greece’s investment potential. To this end, measures to strengthen market surveillance should facilitate effective policy enforcement. With respect to energy policy, the rationalisation of the licensing procedure for renewable energy sources (RES) plants aims to address the long lead times for RES deployment and support Greece’s green transition, while respecting environmental legislation. Financial-sector reforms aim to enhance credit decision-making and empower the non-performing loan market through tackling information asymmetries and to strengthen capital markets, thus increasing Greece’s economic resilience to future shocks. Significant initiatives to improve the governance system across public administration levels, modernising staff hiring procedures and strengthening the national public procurement and anti-corruption frameworks are expected to address inherent structural weaknesses. Important reforms of the justice system aim at modernising the system and increasing its quality and efficiency, including through the revision of the judicial map, digitalisation and upskilling of judges and judicial clerks. 
            
            
               (33)The investments included in the plan aim to address root causes of key challenges identified and appear sustainable from a financial and budgetary perspective. A large number of investments in digital infrastructure for the public administration are foreseen, both at central and municipal level. Coupled with a comprehensive process simplification programme, these are expected to induce a lasting structural change in the functioning of the administration and to address the currently low level of digital public services for citizens and businesses alike. Further, significant digital investments in tax administration are expected to contribute to the fight against tax evasion and smuggling and to reduce the administrative burden on taxpayers. The introduction of digital processes and tools in the justice system, coupled with the training of judges and judicial staff is conducive to the better functioning of courts. Investments in education, social welfare, health care, and employment services, and the upskilling and reskilling of the workforce, with an emphasis on green and digital skills, are expected to safeguard the resilience and improve the quality of such critical services, in an inclusive and sustainable way. Significant investments are also foreseen to facilitate the achievement of the long term objectives of environmental and decarbonisation policies, including energy-efficient renovation of buildings, strategic green urban regeneration projects, land rehabilitation measures for lignite-affected areas, installation of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and measures to support reforestation and sustainable agriculture. Lasting impact of the plan can also be enhanced through synergies between the plan and other programmes financed by the European Union (including cohesion policy funds and InvestEU) notably by addressing in a substantive manner the deeply rooted territorial challenges and promoting a balanced development.
            
            
               Monitoring and implementation 
            
            
               (34)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (h) and section 2.8 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the arrangements proposed in the recovery and resilience plan are adequate (Rating A) to ensure effective monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan, including the envisaged timetable, milestones and targets, and the related indicators. 
            
            
               (35)The recovery and resilience plan presents a management control system that involves four bodies, consisting of the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency, line Ministries’ competent services, implementing bodies and the Financial Audit Committee (EDEL). The overall responsibility to coordinate the implementation and monitoring is given to the recently established Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency, which is part of the Ministry of Finance. The majority of the implementing bodies responsible for the implementation of the measures remain to be identified. In accordance with Article 20(5), point (e) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, Greece should duly establish the management and control system before the first payment request is submitted to the European Commission, in order to comply with Article 22 of that Regulation. The plan provides a detailed overview of the monitoring and reporting processes foreseen. 
            
            
               (36)The milestones and targets of the Greek plan constitute an appropriate system for monitoring the plan’s implementation. They are in general sufficiently clear and comprehensive to ensure that their completion is traced and verified. Further, the milestones and targets are relevant and acceptable, as their scope reflects the overall objective of the measures.
            
            
               (37)Milestones and targets are also relevant for measures already completed which are eligible according to Article 17(2) of the Regulation. The satisfactory fulfilment of these milestones and targets over time is required to justify a disbursement request.
            
            
               (38)Member States should ensure that financial support under the Facility is communicated and acknowledged in line with article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. Technical support may be requested under the Technical Support Instrument to assist Member States in the implementation of their plan.  
            
            
               Costing 
            
            
               (39)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (i) and section 2.9 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the justification provided in the plan on the amount of the estimated total costs of the plan is to a medium extent (Rating B) reasonable and plausible and is in line with the principle of cost efficiency, and is commensurate to the expected national economic and social impact. 
            
         
         
            
               (40)A detailed breakdown of the cost per measure was provided, with the costing methodology varying across measures and the bottom-up approach being the most prevalent. For the significant majority of the measures, the costs are assessed as reasonable, plausible, cost efficient and commensurate. The amount of the estimated total costs of the recovery and resilience plan is also commensurate to the expected social and economic impact of the envisaged measures and the justifications provided for the cost assessment are in general sufficient. For a limited number of cost assessments, costs exceeded the cost range set by comparable projects to a medium extent. The cost assessment was assessed by an external consultant and approved by Greece’s National Productivity Board. Finally, the estimated total cost of the recovery and resilience plan is in line with the principle of cost-efficiency and is commensurate to the expected national economic and social impact.
            
            
               Protection of financial interests 
            
            
               (41)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (j) and section 2.10 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the arrangements proposed in the recovery and resilience plan are adequate (Rating A) to prevent, detect and correct corruption, fraud and conflicts of interests when using the funds provided under that Regulation, and the arrangements are expected to effectively avoid double funding from that Regulation and other Union programmes. This is without prejudice to the application of other instruments and tools to promote and enforce compliance with EU law, including for preventing, detecting and correcting corruption, fraud and conflicts of interests, and for protecting the Union finances in line with Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
            
            
               (42)An additional milestone is set requiring the establishment of the legal mandate of the Financial Audit Committee and the setup of the management control and audit systems to be able to: (a) ensure the collection of data and monitoring of the achievement of milestones and targets; (b) allow for the preparation of management declarations and the audit summary as well as payment claims and (c) establish the necessary procedures to collect and store data on beneficiaries, contractors, subcontractors, and beneficial owners in accordance with Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 for the first payment claim by 30 September 2021. A dedicated audit report on the system set-up should be undertaken. The report should analyse any related weaknesses found and corrective actions taken or planned.
            
            
               (43)The control and audit system developed by Greece is coherently designed to meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2021/241. The internal control system is based on robust processes and structures: roles and responsibilities of the actors for controls and audits are clear, relevant control functions are appropriately segregated and the independence of actors performing audits is ensured. The Financial Audit Committee carries out audits to check whether implementing bodies that should undertake the management and implementation of the approved projects carry out procedures to prevent, detect and correct fraud, corruption and conflicts of interest, when using the funds provided under Regulation (EU) 2021/241, including arrangements aimed at avoiding double funding from other Union programmes, as well as compliance with applicable rules. Each implementing body is rated for its inherent and control risk and the Financial Audit Committee sets its audit priorities based on the risk order. Double funding under Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and other Union programmes is averted through several levels of controls. The independent certified auditors should audit the implementing bodies, responsible for the implementation and management of the investments and reforms. The Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency is tasked with the overall coordination and monitoring of the recovery and resilience plan and constitutes the single point of contact between the Greek authorities and the Commission. The payment requests should be submitted by the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency to the Commission on a semi-annual basis, upon verification of the achievement of the milestones and targets through the RRF Management Information System, accompanied by the management declaration and the summary of the audits carried out by the Financial Audit Committee. It is anticipated that the actors responsible for controls should have the legal empowerment and administrative capacity to exercise their foreseen roles and tasks. 
            
            
               (44)Greece has indicated that an IT-tool for the management and reporting of the milestones and targets is being developed in order to meet specific management and reporting requirements described in the plan. In accordance with Article 20(5), point (e) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, Greece should implement this measure in order to comply with Article 22 of that Regulation. 
            
            
               Coherence of the plan
            
            
               (45)In accordance with Article 19(3), point (k) and section 2.11 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the plan includes to a high extent (Rating A) measures for the implementation of reforms and public investment projects that represent coherent actions. 
            
            
               (46)Reforms and investments presented in the Greek recovery and resilience plan are complementary to each other. They are based on a comprehensive growth plan, which ensures its coherence towards contributing to smart, inclusive and sustainable economic development in the future. The four main pillars of the Plan, (i) Green Transition, (ii) Digital Transformation, (iii) Employment, Skills and Social Cohesion, and (iv) Private Investment and Transformation of the Economy, are highly interlinked and mutually reinforcing. They contain measures related to the digital transformation, which are key enablers for the green and circular transition of the Greek economy. Similarly, the inclusion of climate-related and sustainability criteria from the green transition pillar is expected to reinforce the deployment of digital technologies and facilitate the implementation of the digital pillar. The strategic investments in digital multi-country projects and emerging technologies are expected to help achieving scale and interoperability. The third pillar is expected to ensure that digital and green transitions will be fair across the Greek society by prioritising sustainable job creation, improvement of the education system and skills, and the provision of high quality and effective health and social care services. The fourth pillar aims at mobilising private and public investment to boost competitiveness, support productivity and long-run growth and to create new jobs, while also setting up institutional frameworks, which are expected to enable the digital and green transition to materialise in Greece.
            
            
               Equality
            
            
               (47)The plan contains a series of measures that are expected to contribute to addressing the challenges in the area of gender equality and equal opportunities for all. These include targeted reforms and investments in the areas of employment, skills, health and social cohesion. Long-term unemployed, persons with disabilities and homeless people, persons with a minority ethnic background, migrants and asylum seekers, and people living in extreme poverty are among the beneficiaries. The plan further aims to promote diversity awareness in the private and the public sector and to strengthen monitoring mechanisms. In terms of gender equality, the plan contains a number of measures to promote the participation of women in the labour market including through targeted employment subsidies and upskilling programmes and by expanding early childhood education and care facilities. Moreover, several of other measures that not explicitly aimed at promoting equal opportunities, contain an equality aspect. During the implementation phase of the plan, the collection of disaggregated data by gender and ethnic background should be ensured in order to better assess and follow up equality issues.
            
            
               Security self-assessment
            
            
               (48)The plan includes a security-self assessment for investments in digital capacities and connectivity. As regards investments in connectivity and in particular in 5G networks, the plan identifies the relevant security issues and associated risks and identifies mitigating measures to be enacted for each of them based on the common objective criteria included in the EU toolbox for Cybersecurity of 5G networks. 
            
            
               Cross-border and multi-country projects
            
            
               (49)The plan includes several cross-border and multi-country projects, mainly under the digital pillar. There are investment projects with a digital dimension, such as the ‘5G corridors’ investment, that is also expected to support the cross-border corridor Thessaloniki-Sofia-Belgrade and the ‘Small satellites’ investment that is expected to ensure interoperability with the European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) initiative
                  11
               . In addition, the ‘Submarine fiber cables’ investment project is expected to support the installation of submarine fibre cables to interconnect mainland Greece with its islands and with Cyprus. The plan also includes investing in a new high performance computing system to upgrade the existing one of the National Infrastructures for Research and Technology and its interconnection with the EuroHPC supercomputers; and the creation of a national Cybersecurity Operations Centre and its networking with similar centres of other Member States. The plan further includes a framework of the European Common Data Infrastructure Services, that is to say the Supply of Central Cloud Computing Infrastructure and Services.
            
            
               Consultation process
            
            
               (50)The plan includes a dedicated section describing the consultation process, which took place ahead of the submission of the plan to the Commission. The plan further lists the stakeholders who were consulted between July 2020 and April 2021 and provided input for its preparation including representatives of local and regional authorities, industry and other economic associations, NGOs and key social partners. The plan further cites examples of recommendations of reforms and investments that were taken on board for its preparation. To ensure ownership by the relevant actors, it is crucial to involve all local authorities and stakeholders concerned, including social partners, throughout the implementation of the investments and reforms included in the plan. 
            
            
               Positive assessment
            
            
               (51)Following the positive assessment of the Commission concerning Greece’s recovery and resilience plan with the finding that the plan satisfactorily complies with the criteria for assessment set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/241, in accordance with Article 20(2) of that Regulation, this Decision should set out the reforms and investment projects necessary for the implementation of the plan, the relevant milestones, targets and indicators, and the amount made available from the Union for the implementation of the plan in the form of non-repayable financial and loan support.
            
            
               Financial contribution
            
         
         
            
               (52)The estimated total cost of the recovery and resilience plan of Greece is EUR 31 164 331 515 As the recovery and resilience plan satisfactorily complies with the criteria for assessment set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/241, in accordance with Article 20(2) of that Regulation, and, furthermore, as the amount of the estimated total costs of the recovery and resilience plan is higher than the maximum financial contribution available for Greece, the financial contribution allocated for Greece’s recovery and resilience plan should be equal to the total amount of the financial contribution available for Greece.
            
            
               (53)In accordance with Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the calculation of the maximum financial contribution for Greece is to be updated by 30 June 2022. As such, in accordance with Article 23(1) of that Regulation, an amount for Greece should be made available now for a legal commitment by 31 December 2022. Where necessary following the updated maximum financial contribution, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, should amend this Decision to include the updated maximum financial contribution without undue delay.
            
            
               (54)Furthermore, in order to support additional reforms and investments, Greece has requested loan support. The maximum volume of the loan requested by Greece does not exceed 6,8 % of its 2019 Gross National Income in current prices. The amount of the estimated total costs of the recovery and resilience plan is higher than the combined financial contribution available for Greece and the requested loan support. 
            
            
               (55)The support to be provided is financed from the borrowing by the Commission on behalf of the Union on the basis of Article 5 of Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053
                  12
                . The support should be paid in instalments once Greece has satisfactorily fulfilled the relevant milestones and targets identified in relation to the implementation of the recovery and resilience plan.
            
            
               (56)Greece has requested pre-financing of 13 % of the financial contribution and of 13 % of the loan. That amount should be made available to Greece subject to the entry into force and in accordance with the Financing Agreement provided for in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and the Loan Agreement provided for in Article 15(2) of that Regulation.
            
            
               (57)This Decision should be without prejudice to the outcome of any procedures relating to the award of Union funds under any other Union programme than Regulation (EU) 2021/241 or to procedures relating to distortions of the operation of the internal market that may be undertaken, in particular under Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty. It does not override the requirement for Member States to notify instances of potential State aid to the Commission under Article 108 of the Treaty,
            
            
               HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: 
            
            
               Article 1
                  Approval of the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan 
            
            
               The assessment of the recovery and resilience plan of Greece on the basis of the criteria provided for by Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 is approved. The reforms and investment projects under the recovery and resilience plan, the arrangements and timetable for monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan, including the relevant milestones and targets and the additional milestones and targets related to the payment of the loan, the relevant indicators relating to the fulfilment of the envisaged milestones and targets, and the arrangements for providing full access by the Commission to the underlying relevant data are set out in the Annex to this Decision.

               A. COMPONENT 1.1: POWER UP
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan targets reforms and investments to increase the weight of renewable energy sources in the electricity system and facilitate Greece’s process of decarbonisation. Reforms shall simplify licensing rules for renewable energy investment, make the electricity market more efficient, and secure the financial sustainability of support schemes. The component also includes key investments in networks to complete the interconnection with the Cyclades islands and make electricity distribution more environment-friendly and able to absorb a greater share of renewable energy. Storage systems shall also support the decarbonisation of the economy through accumulating surplus renewable electricity. Land rehabilitation shall also be supported in areas currently used as lignite mines, as a step of the just transition process in the territories most affected by the phase-out of lignite. The component is in line with the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 of 2020 and Country Specific Recommendation 2 of 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               The investment includes the electricity interconnection of the Cyclades Islands (Phase D), an overhead line connecting Extra High Voltage Centre (EHVC) Corinth and EHVC Koumoundouros and accompanying projects. The projects shall boost energy system security, while also increasing the potential for electricity generation from RES in the islands and the Peloponnese. They shall reduce energy costs, leading to new investments and jobs in the energy-intensive sectors of the economy. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Investment: Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO) network upgrades aiming at enhancing resilience and protecting the environment (measure ID: 16901)
            
            
               The investment consists of undergrounding and rerouting of the electricity distribution network in settlements of special importance from a cultural or tourism point of view as well as city centres, with priority given to areas where the infrastructure is vulnerable to extreme weather. It shall improve the resilience of the distribution network and contribute to the protection of the environment. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Investment: Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO) overhead network upgrading in forest areas (measure ID: 16900)
            
            
               The investment consists of a replacement of bare conductors in the overhead electricity distribution network (with covered ones or a twisted cable), installation of insulating covers, and undergrounding or relocation of the electricity distribution network passing through forest areas. The project shall improve the resilience and reliability of the network (energy quality indicators SAIDI, SAIFI) and better protect the environment (forests, wildlife). The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
         
         
            
               Investment: Installed capacity increase in Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO) High Voltage/Medium Voltage substations for new RES connection (measure ID: 16899)
            
            
               The investment shall increase the capacity of existing substations of the network to address the congestion of the distribution grid that are currently preventing further investment in renewable energy. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Restructuring and enhancement of the Renewable Energy Sources-Combined Heat and Power (RES-CHP) Account revenues (measure ID: 16865)
            
            
               The reform consists of: (a) the restructuring of the existing remuneration structure for RES Producers, through the establishment for new RES units (commissioned after 1 January 2021) of a New RES-CHP Account replacing the current one complemented by new mechanisms that shall guarantee the financial viability of both of the existing and the New RES-CHP Accounts; and (b) the introduction of a Guarantees of Origin trading system, of an extraordinary “Covid-19 Duty” for RES producers and Suppliers, and of a permanent “carbon tax” on diesel fuel. The measures shall ensure the viability of the existing installed RES capacity and shall facilitate the financing of new projects in RES, as any unexpected inflows/outflows leading to a negative impact on the RES account(s) shall be addressed through the regulatory fees that shall be passed on to the customers. The implementation of the reform, including an increase of 3 Gigawatt in the electricity production capacity from renewable energy sources, shall be completed by 30 June 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Streamline the efficient operation of the new electricity market model and the development of new RES plants to reach NECP targets through the implementation of monitoring mechanism, the participation of demand response and an extensive reform of the licensing procedure for new RES (measure ID: 16860)
            
            
               The reform consists of streamlining of the licensing framework for RES, including simplification and digitalisation of procedures, short and binding administrative response times and accountability procedures for unnecessary delays, reduction of the necessary documentation and procedures, as well as a new dedicated framework for offshore RES plants. The aim is to accelerate the doubling of the installed capacity of RES in view of the lignite phase-out in Greece.
            
            
               Finally, the reform shall also establish a market monitoring system for the National Regulatory Authority (RAE) and the participation of demand-side response (DSR) in the balancing market. 
            
            
               The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2022.

               C. COMPONENT 1.3: RECHARGE AND REFUEL
            
            
               The recharge and refuel component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan comprises targeted reforms and investments to increase sustainable mobility, enhance economic growth, create job opportunities and promote social resilience. The measures included under this component are linked to the nationwide strategy of sustainable mobility, thus supporting the implementation of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). They shall also contribute to the green transition through providing support to enterprises carrying out operations related to the low carbon economy and climate change resilience. The component further includes reforms to support the installation of e-mobility infrastructure and revision of the public urban and regional passenger transportation services. The component also includes investments to support the development of production capacity of supplies related to e-mobility and replacement of busses and taxis with battery electric vehicles. 
            
            
               The component supports addressing Country Specific Recommendation 3 of 2020 and Country Specific Recommendation 2 of 2019, on public and private investment. It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
            
            
               C.1. 
                     Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
            
            
               Investment: Produc-E Green (measure ID: 16831)
            
            
               This investment constitutes of two projects that both aim to contribute to the low carbon economy and to resilience to climate change. The first project targets the supply-side of e-mobility. It shall provide support for the development of more than 10 sites with R&D departments for innovative products or services, such as the recycling of electric car batteries through re-use of raw materials like lithium and cobalt or the designing of electric vehicles and regular or high power charge points. In order to ensure that the measure complies with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), the eligibility criteria contained in terms of reference for calls for projects shall exclude the following list of activities: (i) activities related to fossil fuels, including downstream use
                  5
               ; (ii) activities under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks
                  6
               ; (iii) activities related to waste landfills, incinerators
                  7
                and mechanical biological treatment plants
                  8
               ; and (iv) activities where the long-term disposal of waste may cause harm to the environment. The terms of reference shall additionally require that only activities that comply with relevant EU and national environmental legislation may be selected.
            
            
               The second project shall provide support to the development of the first CO2 storage facility in Greece. The carbon capture and storage facility is designed to provide long term storage for CO2 captured from local emitters (up to a distance of 150 km) and shall arrive at the facility by pipeline whilst CO2 captured at remote sites shall arrive by ship and enter a buffer storage facility. The capacity of the carbon capture and storage facility shall initially have a CO2 injection rate of one million tonnes/year and shall provide capacity for, at least, 25 years. It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the carbon capture and storage facility shall operate without using any commercial oil extraction or oil recovery activities (some extraction of oil or gas may be required for safety or technical reasons. Further, the carbon capture and storage shall also comply with the requirement that there will be no technological applications, neither any type of facilities and equipment engineered towards Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) application and increased oil production. Care will be taken that any possible extraction of oil or gas is limited to the indispensable needs of managing pressure and ensuring safety of the storage sites and that any such extraction will be done only if indispensable to ensure the safe storage of CO2. The CO2 along with any oil or gas that may be extracted will be separated and fed back for permanent storage.
            
            
               The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Framework for installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure (measure ID: 16281)
            
            
               The reform shall establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for the installation and operation of charging points for electric vehicles. This shall put Greece towards a path to meet the NECP target of a 30% share of electric vehicles in the domestic market by 2030. By the end of 2022, the Ministry of Environment and Energy shall adopt at least 300 plans submitted by local authorities for the installation of publicly available electric vehicle charging points. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2022.
            
         
         
            
               Investment: Electromobility (measure ID: 16924)
            
            
               The investment addresses e-mobility in line with the objectives of the NECP and encompasses: 1) support for the installation of publicly accessible charge points in key urban and suburban locations and points of interest (such as airports, motorways, ports and in parking areas); 2) the replacement of older buses with 220 new electric ones; 3) incentives for the replacement of older taxis with 2 000 battery electric vehicles; 4) a reform of the legislation for public service obligations for bus companies in line with the current EU acquis, enabling bus companies outside Athens and Thessaloniki to securely invest in electric public transport vehicles; and 5) undertaking a feasibility study to set up an e-Transport Agency that shall ensure appropriate planning and coordination between transport and energy infrastructures, regional and local governments and other stakeholders in the research and private sector. The investment component replacing old busses and vehicles shall be compliant with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), with particular reference to the scrappage of older vehicles/busses that shall be carried out by an Authorised Treatment Facility, in accordance to the end-of-life vehicles directive (2000/53/EC). The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

                        Strengthen market regulation through entry into force of a revised legislative framework for public urban and regional passenger transportation services (in compliance with EU 1370/2007). The revised framework shall: (a) to ensure the continuous supply of public urban and regional road passenger transport (scheduled and of fixed route); (b) to oversee the design, organization and operation of the associated transport networks; (c) to ensure high quality public road transport at the lowest cost possible; (d) to regulate the process of granting exclusive rights to operate public regional and urban routes (scheduled and of fixed route); and (e) to regulate the level of compensation for the provision of the aforementioned services. Furthermore, the law shall establish the overarching criteria for future passenger transport service procurement. Corresponding regions and regional units shall establish detailed region-specific criteria that shall properly account for the region-specific transportation needs and shall fine-tune the procurement process accordingly.

               E. COMPONENT 2.1: CONNECT
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan contains measures that aim to foster and facilitate the widespread deployment of very high capacity networks, including 5G and fibre, in line with the EU’s 2025 5G and Gigabit connectivity objectives, and the development of a constellation of small satellites. The investments included under this component concern the installation of fibre optic infrastructure in buildings, the development of 5G networks covering all major Greek highways, the deployment of submarine fibre cables to connect mainland Greece with the Greek islands and Cyprus and the utilisation of space technologies and applications by developing a constellation of small-satellites that shall support secure connectivity services coupled with multipurpose applications for earth observation. The reforms included under this component establish a framework to facilitate the switch to fast broadband connections and the transition to 5G technology.
            
            
               All proposed investments and reforms address the challenges resulting from the increasing need for connectivity and earth observation and surveillance. The measures support addressing the Country Specific Recommendation on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020), which calls Greece to focus investment on digital transition and particularly on very-high-capacity digital infrastructure. They also respond effectively to the digital transition and/or the challenges resulting from it, as they are expected to significantly contribute to improve very-high-speed connectivity in Greece. It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               Investment: Small-satellites (measure ID: 16855)
            
            
               The investment concerns the development of a constellation of small satellites that shall support connectivity services, as well as earth observation applications in the fields of mapping, shipping, precision agriculture, spatial planning and others. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
         
         
            
               Reform: Transition to 5G technology, facilitating the development of innovative remote services (measure ID: 16844)
            
            
               The reform shall establish a basis for the transition to 5G technology. The first phase of the reform focuses on the implementation of the regulatory and legislative framework, in particular using 25% of the multi-band 5G auction earnings to support the innovative Phaistos fund which invests in companies and projects providing 5G products and services. The second phase shall include a process for identifying further opportunities and risks in the development of 5G networks, the streamlining of procedures, and the assessment of requirements and risks in specific economic applications (such as transport). The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 September 2024.
            
            
               Investment: 5G Corridors – Develop 5G networks that shall provide coverage of all Greek motorways that are part of the Trans-European Transport Networks (measure ID: 16834)
            
            
               The investment comprises the development of 5G network infrastructure along the major Greek highways that are part of the Trans-European Transport Networks in order to serve the needs for Connected and Autonomous Mobility. The implementation of the investment is expected to start by 31 December 2021 and shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Switch to fast broadband connections – Transition to 100/200 Mbps (UltraFast) broadband connections and strengthening of Superfast Broadband demand (measure ID: 16857)
            
            
               This reform consists in the design and implementation of an action plan for the transition to 100/200 Mbps (Ultrafast) broadband connections through the installation of fibre optics and the accompanying equipment in buildings, as well as submarine cables in the case of Greek islands, enabling greater coverage of ultra-high speed network connections. The plan shall include actions, prerequisite activities, time schedules, as well as any required changes on the existing legislative and regulatory framework to accompany and monitor the transition to Ultrafast broadband connections. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2024.
            
            
               Investment: Submarine fiber cables (measure ID: 16962)
            
            
               The investment consists of the deployment of modern submarine fibre cables that shall connect mainland Greece with its islands and with Cyprus. It aims to remove a major obstacle in the availability of high-speed broadband services to end-users, both through fixed and mobile networks, and enhance the capacity and resilience of the backhaul infrastructure in support of 5G. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Investment: Fiber optic infrastructure in buildings (measure ID: 16818)
            
            
               The investment promotes the installation of the fibre optic infrastructure in residential and commercial buildings and end-users’ connection with very high capacity networks (VHCN) based on a demand subsidy (voucher) scheme that shall subsidize (a) the costs of internal cabling and (b) the connection fees (the one-off setup fee of broadband services). The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

               F. COMPONENT 2.2: MODERNISE
            
            
               The component “Modernise” of the Greek recovery and resilience plan aims to modernise the public administration by improving its operational model and achieving provision of high-quality services to citizens and businesses. Accelerating efforts to improve upon the public administration’s digital performance shall act as a catalyst to achieve this aim. Reforms and investments target: (a) the digital transformation of the organisations of the public sector, including the digitisation of archives and enhanced digital services; (b) business process improvements followed by the incorporation of modern IT systems; (c) increased interoperability between systems and data; (d) wide-ranging cybersecurity and data governance strategies and policies; as well as (e) extended use of advanced technologies, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and big data.
            
            
               The component aims to address the challenge of modernising and digitalising the public administration, while also streamlining and simplifying its key processes and procedures. It supports addressing the Country Specific Recommendation on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendations 3 2020 and 2 2019) by improving the effectiveness and digitalisation of the public administration. It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               G. COMPONENT 2.3: DIGITALISATION OF BUSINESS
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience concerns the provision of capital to Greek small and medium-sized enterprises to finance the investment in digital technologies and purchase of associated services. It aims to address the currently low levels of digital maturity among them, including due to low digital skills, whilst fostering productivity and the development of innovative businesses. At the same time, it is expected to help such businesses to adapt to new challenges and take advantage of emerging business trends. In particular, the component provides for the establishment of a single digital marketplace, to which both the suppliers of these products and services shall have access. Promoting the use of electronic payments and sales, upgrading of cash registers and POS ecosystem, and the creation of industrial data platforms are key targets of this component. Further, the component offers tax incentives that help to create a digital business ecosystem conducive to the digital transformation of small- and medium-sized enterprises. A central supporting mechanism for small- and medium-sized enterprises, facilitating the provision of training and awareness programs so that they may make the most of the tools and services offered through the digital marketplace, is also envisaged. 
            
            
               The measures are expected to respond to the digital transition and the challenges resulting from it, as they are expected to contribute to the uptake of digital technologies and digital upskilling of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Greece. Further, the measures are also expected to facilitate smart and sustainable growth by further stimulating private investment, thus helping to address the Country Specific Recommendation on public and private investment (CSR 3 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               Reform: Establishment of a digital business ecosystem and introduction of tax incentives for the facilitation of the SMEs digital transformation (measure ID 16973)
            
            
               The reform aims to create a digital business ecosystem that promotes the digital transformation of SMEs. Specifically, it consists of: (a) creating a digital market place for the supply and purchase of advanced digital services and tools tailored for the digital transformation of SMEs, and increasing the digital awareness of business executives, (b) directly encouraging investments in modern digital technologies, using tax incentives on tangible and intangible assets, in order to change the business environment and (c) upgrading the cash registers and Points Of Sale ecosystem. In order to ensure that the measure complies with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), the eligibility criteria for the tax incentives shall exclude the following list of activities: (i) activities related to fossil fuels, including downstream use
                  9

               H. COMPONENT 3.1: PROMOTE JOB CREATION AND PARTICIPATION IN THE LABOUR MARKET
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan involves measures to redesign and strengthen active labour market policies, improve the efficiency of public employment services and provide an effective safety net against unemployment while strengthening incentives for labour market re-entry. The bulk of the component measures is concentrated on Active Labour Market Policies including activation programmes that subsidize employment in the private sector and promote upskilling and reskilling of the labour force, as well as investments to boost the capacity of the public employment service (OAED) through enhanced digitalisation and counselling services. Under the reform of Passive Labour Market Policies, the Plan aims to improve the coverage and distribution of unemployment benefits, strengthen the social safety net, promote labour market participation, including among vulnerable groups, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the social protection system. The component is in line with the country-specific recommendations to ensure effective labour market activation support, invest in skills and employability, and to improve digitalisation of the public administration (country-specific recommendation 2 and 3 2020 and country specific recommendation 2 2019). Moreover, by focusing on promoting skills and employment in the digital and green sector among others, the component supports the digital and green transition.

               Reform: Modernisation and Simplification of Labour Law (measure ID: 16744)
            
            
               The reform entails the entry into force of a comprehensive Labour Law that shall streamline key aspects of the labour market with a view to improving its functioning. Notably, the reform shall aim at modernising a) the law for individual labour, b) the law for collective labour and the trade union law, c) the ERGANI IT system of the Ministry of Labour that is used for monitoring the labour market and for detecting undeclared and under-declared work, and d) the framework on work-life balance. The reform’s overarching objectives are increasing job creation and competitiveness, fighting undeclared and under-declared work, improving work-life balance and bridging the gender employment gap. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 September 2021.
            
            
               Investment: Digital Transformation of Labour Systems (measure ID: 16750)
            
            
               The investment focuses on the modernisation of the public administration’s capacity to offer better and faster services to employees and employers, with a view to cutting red tape, improving the effectiveness of labour market monitoring mechanisms, reducing undeclared and undeclared work, and obtaining timely and accurate data. Notably, the investment consists of the upgrading of the digital infrastructure of e-EFKA (Unified Social Security Fund), including the Digital Pension Award system (ATLAS), and the interconnection of disparate IT systems (ERGANI, EFKA and SEPE) under a single system (ARIADNE). Finally, the investment includes the setting-up of an Integrated IT system for occupational health and safety issues (HERIDANOS). The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2024.
            
            
               Reform: Active Labour Market Policies Reform (measure ID: 16747)
            
            
               The reform of active labour market policies (ALMPs) aims to maximize their effectiveness through the redesign and strengthening of wage subsidy programmes and gradual transition to a new delivery model for ALMPs. The reform is coupled with significant investments. These notably include a) five targeted short-term programmes subsidising employment in the private sector for 52 000 unemployed people (including a programme combining training and employment support), b) implementation of the new pilot-tested open-framework delivery model for ALMPs to additional three geographical areas (where participants shall be offered 22 500 training programmes, 15 000 employment subsidies and 852 entrepreneurship subsidies), c) temporary enhancement of the counselling staff of the Public Employment Service (600 additional counsellors for 4 years) and d) training of the counselling staff. A dedicated part of the allocated grants shall contribute to green skills and jobs in the green economy. The implementation of the reform and investments shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Reform of Passive Labour Market Policies to Support Transitions to Employment (measure ID: 16746)
            
         
         
            
               The reform involves two pilot projects for reforming the unemployment insurance system. These projects will test the labour market effects of a) an increase of the level and coverage of the long-term unemployment benefit and b) an indexation of the standard unemployment benefit to the latest net wage level. Moreover, the Plan includes zero-cost reforms aiming to a) further improve the framework of mutual obligations that currently applies between the public employment service and jobseekers, b) consolidate and streamline unemployment benefits and allowances to improve public spending efficiency, and c) remove disincentives for upskilling/reskilling among the unemployed by retaining their entitlement to unemployment benefits during participation in trainings. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2024.
            
            
               Investment: Restructuring and rebranding of OAED local PES (KPA2) (measure ID: 16941)
            
            
               The investment aims to reform Greece’s public employment service (OAED) with a view to improving the quality of its services, and its overall capacity and effectiveness. The investment involves a) an organizational reform of the Public Employment Service (OAED) updating its governance model and establishing a new organizational chart and financial management system; b) the redesign and building renovation of OAED’s 118 local branches for the promotion of employment (KPA2), with a renewed focus on customized matching services, enhanced counselling, and outreach; c) a new communication strategy of OAED; d) the improvement of customer service quality control mechanisms through the measurement and monitoring of effectiveness, efficiency, productivity and customer satisfaction aspects; e) implementation of new forms of profiling and counselling services. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Investment: Digital transformation of the public employment service (OAED) (measure ID: 16942)
            
            
               The investment focuses on the digital transformation of the public employment service (OAED), with a view to increasing effectiveness of offered services. Notably, the investment foresees the digitisation of the archives of OAED, the purchase by OAED of a number of new IT systems, both web-based and native applications, and the redesign of some of its current operating systems. The investment also includes a) the expansion of digital services (via OAEDapp) which shall allow OAED to provide e-services to the unemployed and firms via mobile phones and tablets, and b) a highly sophisticated state-of-the-art matching tool to help OAED optimize the labour supply-demand matching process. The above investment shall lead to a better data management and decision-making system, maximization of resources and higher customer satisfaction. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

               I. COMPONENT 3.2: EDUCATION, VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING, AND SKILLS
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan aims to improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of the education and lifelong-learning systems. The component includes an investment in horizontal upskilling programmes in digital, green, and financial literacy skills for a total 628 000 beneficiaries. This is accompanied by a reform of the life-long learning system to improve training provision, and a package of reforms and investments focusing on the vocational education and training (VET) and apprenticeship systems to improve their labour market relevance. Concerning VET, the plan aims to upgrade VET infrastructures and equipment, modernize the existing curricula and develop new professional profiles including in the sectors of energy, environment and digital economy. Moreover, the plan provides for a new strategy for excellence in universities, aimed to enhance their research performance and education quality through investments in upgrading research and educational infrastructures, support to research projects and doctorate projects  also in collaboration with the private sector and visiting professorship schemes. These reforms are coupled with investments in the digitalisation of the education system, a large part of which is allocated to interactive learning systems in primary and secondary schools and vouchers for pupils and students from low-income families for the purchase of IT equipment. 
            
            
               The component is in line with the Country Specific Recommendations to invest in education, employability, and skills and to improve digitalisation of the public administration (country-specific recommendations 3 2020 and 2 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               The aim of the reform is to re-establish the apprenticeship vocational schools of the public employment service (OAED EPAS) as an integral part of the government’s strategy for vocational education and training (VET) and youth employment. Notably the reform includes 1) the introduction of a new legal framework for the VET national system; 2) the design and implementation of a new system to improve the quality control on the VET schools of OAED (EPAS), assess its output and track progress and performance of students in the labour market; 3) simplification of learning processes and integration of new methodologies and tools such as e-learning platforms and digitized training content, both for apprentices and trainers; 4) assessment, redesign and update current curricula (with the contribution of social partners and employers) to further align them with the actual labour market needs; 5) renewal and modernization of VET infrastructure (laboratories and equipment); 6) renovation of EPAS buildings to improve energy efficiency and spatial functionality; 7) integration of virtual-reality technology into everyday learning modules; 8) promotion of ad-hoc partnerships with employers and chambers and the creation of experimental EPAS schools; 9) construction of schools for professions related to the green transition; 10) expansion of the existing career offices network; 11) implementation of an extensive “train the trainers” program in EPAS schools; 12) financing a communication campaign to promote the apprenticeship system. A dedicated part of the allocated grants shall contribute to green skills and jobs and the green economy. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               The energy efficiency renovations and measures shall comply with (i) at least a medium-depth level renovation as defined in Commission Recommendation on Building Renovation (EU) 2019/786, or (b) achieve, on average, at least a 30% reduction of direct and indirect GHG emissions compared to the ex-ante emissions. It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol.

               J. COMPONENT 3.3: IMPROVE RESILIENCE, ACCESSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HEALTHCARE
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan focuses on increasing the resilience of the health care system through various interventions. Part of these measures focus on infrastructural, both physical and digital, and operational improvements to modernise and upgrade the hospital system and the network of health centres. Others aim at supporting and enhancing access, efficiency and resilience of the health-care sector. More specifically, these include measures to strengthen public health and prevention, to increase the capacity of the health-care system to deliver mental health and home care services, to support the transition towards a stronger primary health-care sector and to rationalise pharmaceutical spending and support pharmaceutical R&D. The plan on digitisation of health-care systems and services has the objective to promote efficiency, improve access and increase the overall transparency and quality of public spending in the system. It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               Reform: Reforms and acceleration of investments in the Healthcare Sector - Clawback reduction and rationalization of healthcare expenditure (measure ID: 16816)
            
            
               The reform of the clawback system shall introduce risk-sharing in the calculation of the clawback by setting a binding target of clawback reduction over the next years, a minimum reduction of clawback amounts by EUR 50 000 000 (2022), EUR 150 000 000 (2023), EUR 300 000 000 (2024) and EUR 400 000 000 (2025) respectively, from the 2020 levels, to be achieved through the full enforcement of previously adopted and new efficiency enhancing measures and fully in line with EU State aid rules. In addition, the measure foresees the financing of clinical trial, R&D or other investment expenditure by liable companies, limited to the 3-year period 2021-2023, through a partial offset of their clawback liabilities. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2026.
            
            
               Reform: Reform of the Primary Health Care System (measure ID: 16755)
            
            
               This reform foresees to 1) implement upgrade and energy efficient renovations and energy efficient measures regarding public infrastructure and medical equipment of at least 50% of the total health centres in the country (156 out of a total of 312), 2) implement an administrative and organisational restructuring to create a unified model of care and retrain staff to act effectively as first-line care, 3) expand the availability of active (where courses have already started) family medicine curricula, so that these are offered by at least 75% of medical schools and introduce an element of family medicine in all medical curricula by Q4 2022 and 4) support the development of an integrated care system by establishing a framework for chronic diseases management. The reform of the primary care interacts with secondary care (especially access to hospital care) and it is expected to lead to improved health services for citizens and support the principle of equal access to health services, efficiency and social cohesion. It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

               The reform is expected to upgrade the quality of life of the population and the resilience of the health care system with the creation of a very comprehensive system of prevention, primary, secondary and tertiary. This covers several elements on a pilot basis as follows: interventions and screening programs, which aim at reducing the morbidity of diseases with high prevalence in the Greek population: a national program for the promotion of physical exercise and healthy eating, the national alcohol management program, interventions to prevent psychosocial problems in children and the implementation of child dental care prevention program; interventions for the early detection of existing but not clinically visible diseases: the implementation of the national screening programme, based on the introduction of preventive diagnostic tests for cancer and cardiovascular diseases and the national neonatal screening program; interventions aimed at preventing disability, repairing damage, as well as preventing relapses from a clinically visible national program of psychosocial integration and rehabilitation for people with serious psycho-social problems and palliative care for cancer patients; the functional and operational modernisation of the public health system. Ultimately, the aim of the program is to reduce the behavioural risk factors with positive impacts not only on the quality of life of the population but also on the overall access, efficiency and resilience of the health system achieved through the reduced pressure on hospital services. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Reform in the fields of mental health and addictions (measure ID: 16820)
            
         
         
            
               This reform shall to ensure access to quality mental health services for specific populations suffering from mental illness and addiction, in order to prevent their marginalisation or institutionalisation. The project is expected to expand mental health services for patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, as well as for patients with autism and for patients in the age group of children, adolescents and young adults. This shall be accompanied by the development of web applications and the digitalisation of mental health services and actions to support addicts, as well as actions in support of dependent individuals. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2023.
            
            
               Reform: Organizational Reforms in the Health System (KETEKNY, ODIPY) (measure ID: 16756)
            
            
               The aim of this reform is to rationalise the reimbursement of hospital medical procedures by 1) strengthening the Greek diagnosis-related group (DRG) Institute (KETEKNY) and 2) creating a framework that shall ensure the establishment of reliable, quality procedures and performance measurements related to patient care, health needs and care delivery to support the Greek Agency for Quality Assurance in Healthcare (ODIPY) and its activities. Creating a national health map that records the demand and supply of services in the health system and establishes a framework for quality assessment is expected to ensure greater transparency and efficiency in the health system. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2025.

To the extent that this is not achieved, the difference between the targeted reduction and the actual reduction for each year shall not be clawed back from the pharmaceutical industry and the relevant amount shall be borne by the state budget up to the targeted reduction in the clawback amounts.

A large part of the component is dedicated to early childhood education and care, in particular in the form of subsidies for the creation of 1 000 new childcare units in municipalities and 120 units in large companies. The Plan also allows for labour market activation measures for vulnerable groups including beneficiaries of guaranteed minimum income, refugees, homeless people, Roma and people suffering from autism spectrum disorders. A large-scale training programme for private and public-sector employees on diversity awareness and several small pilots such as on deinstitutionalization of children, support of persons with disabilities and social housing are also key elements of the plan. The component is in line with the Country Specific Recommendations on labour market and social policy (Country Specific Recommendations 2 2020 and 1 2019) and investment (Country Specific Recommendations 3 2020 and 2 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               L. COMPONENT 4.1: MAKING TAXES MORE GROWTH FRIENDLY AND IMPROVING TAX ADMINISTRATION AND TAX COLLECTION
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan comprises targeted reforms and investment to continue improving the functioning of the public revenue administration and fight against tax evasion. Firstly, this component includes tax policy reforms, to facilitate the codification of tax legislation, as well as to introduce incentives to enhance electronic transactions, promote green and digital private investments, and increase the size of enterprises. Secondly, the component contains reforms and investments aiming at the transformation of the public revenue administration, through digitalising processes, and introducing legislative initiatives to combat smuggling and promote the acceleration of VAT refunds.
            
            
               The component contributes to the digital transition, through the replacement and upgrade of Independent Authority for Public Revenue’s (IAPR) core digital systems, the introduction of automated office and work processes, the digitalisation of audits and controls, as well as the update and improvement of taxpayer e-services.
            
            
               This component supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020), and structural reforms to improve the functioning of the economy (Country Specific Recommendation 4 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               Investment: Digital transformation of tax audits (measure ID 16611)
            
            
               IAPR shall upgrade the use of its in-house data and introduce artificial intelligence tools in order to improve public revenue collection, increase the effectiveness of tax audits, and fight smuggling. The project consists of the adoption of a strong data architecture, the development of a common metadata repository, the provision of appropriate software solutions, the development of techniques and tools of artificial intelligence, and the use of machine learning to mine big data. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Codification and simplification of tax legislation (measure ID 16643)
            
            
               The Ministry of Finance and IAPR shall simplify and update the legislation for the major tax codes, the customs code and all relevant secondary legal provisions in line with EU best practices. Consistent with the IAPR basic law 4389/2016, the IAPR will take responsibility for carrying out the updating and modernisation of the Code of Tax Procedure, Governor’s decisions and Revenue administration circulars, including drafting the amendments required for the digitalisation and simplification of the tax administration. The Ministry of Finance and IAPR shall also provide a content management system and dedicated website for taxpayer information thus enhancing transparency, legal certainty, tax compliance and the business environment. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2024.
            
            
               Reform: Promoting the acceleration of VAT refunds (measure ID 16610)
            
            
               IAPR shall simplify the VAT refunds’ administrative processes for businesses, through the implementation of automated VAT refund procedures, electronic submission and facilitation of a risk analysis process for refund requests. The new process is expected to limit the human intervention through digital transactions and tackle delays in the VAT refunds. The reform must be in line with the VAT refund Directive (Council Directive 2008/9/EC). The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2023.
            
            
               Reform: Adoption of measures and incentives to increase electronic transactions (measure ID 16616)
            
            
               The reform aims to ease the administrative burden for businesses and improve tax compliance by promoting electronic transactions. IAPR shall make use of myDATA facility for electronic book-keeping, electronic invoicing and the connection of all tax cash registers with its IT systems in order to facilitate the automatic filling of tax declarations and enhance the effectiveness of tax audits. The implementation of the tax incentives of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2023.
            
            
               Reform: Super–deduction of SME expenses on green economy, energy and digital transition (measure ID 16863)
            
            
               The reform consists of tax incentives for super-deduction of expenses to strengthen investment by small and medium-sized enterprises, in equipment related to climate change adaptation, the promotion of circular economy, and digitalisation. It shall be fully in line with EU State aid rules. The implementation of the tax incentives of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2024.
            
            
               Reform: New framework for the fight against smuggling, mainly for products subject to excise duties (tobacco, alcohol and energy) (measure ID 16656)
            
            
               The reform aims to support the fight against smuggling, in particular for those products subject to excise duties (tobacco, alcohol, energy) through the modernisation of the Customs’ tracking systems, audit processes, and equipment in order to increase the effectiveness of cargo audits. This also requires the upgrade of IAPR’s IT systems necessary to obtain information from European and national databases. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Online cash registers & POS (measure ID 16614)
            
            
               IAPR shall develop a framework to facilitate the connection of cash registers with Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals and its IT systems. The project includes: (i) the setup of specifications for the interconnection of cash registers with the POS terminals to certify that every POS transaction shall be recorded in the cash register and the data produced shall be transmitted in near real time to IAPR; and (ii) the development of infrastructure and applications for the monitoring of cash register transactions and the support of the control mechanism. Upon its completion, the measure is expected to limit the potential for tax evasion and ultimately reducing the VAT gap. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2024.
            
         
         
            
               Investment: Digital Transformation of the Tax and Customs Administration (measure ID 16291)
            
            
               The investment aims to achieve the digital transformation of revenue administration and services, which is expected to strengthen the capacity of the IAPR and enhance its overall performance. The investment shall upgrade the quality of services provided to individuals and enterprises, and ultimately make taxes more growth friendly thus improving tax administration and tax collection. This investment consolidates 14 digital infrastructure sub-projects to be implemented by IAPR, classified into four intervention areas:
            
            
               1)Replacement of core digital systems and expansion of the functionality of service provision including the implementation of interoperability mechanisms of IAPR’s information systems with bank data information systems;
            
            
               2)Automation of office and work processes;
            
            
               3)Digitalisation of audits and controls; and
            
            
               4)Upgrade of taxpayer services.
            
            
               The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan includes a set of wide-ranging reforms as well as investments in the functioning of the public administration with a view to improving policy design and implementation. The component includes measures to modernise the public administration through specific actions to strengthen the policy planning and coordination and human resources management. Other measures aim at addressing the lack of project preparation for public investments (including corruption) and at further enhancing the area of public financial management.

               N. COMPONENT 4.3: IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan comprises a number of wide-ranging reforms as well as investments aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the Greek Justice system by introducing an ambitious revision of the judicial map of the country, addressing infrastructure needs, adopting measures to increase the digital capacities of the Justice system, modernising the function of courts, setting up a judicial police, and broadening and upgrading the education (both initial and life-long) of magistrates and clerical staff. The measures are expected to support addressing the challenges in the country-specific recommendations regarding public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019, Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020) and structural reforms to improve the functioning of the economy (Country Specific Recommendation 4 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               Investment: New Judicial buildings and renovations (measure ID 16292)
            
            
               The measure consists of a targeted investment for the construction and renovation of buildings that are part of the judicial system, closely linked with the revision of the judicial map, to maximize judicial efficiency and avoid unnecessary effort and expenses. All properties belonging to or used by the judiciary shall be recorded in an electronic identity registry in order to facilitate monitoring and planning. The newly constructed buildings shall all comply with a Primary Energy Demand (PED) that is at least 20% lower than the NZEB requirement (nearly zero-energy building, national directives). It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol. 
            
            
               The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Digital Transformation of Justice (E-Justice) (measure ID 16727)
            
            
               The digital transformation of the Greek justice system shall be carried out under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice and shall consist of a set of actions that shall increase its IT capabilities with regard to the digitisation of documents, the enhancement of the record-keeping system of the courts, the simplification, standardisation and acceleration of procedures through digitalisation, and the interoperability of IT systems of the courts with those of the Ministry of Justice, as well as other national and international authorities and/or databases. All branches of the judiciary (civil, penal and administrative, as well as the Court of Audits) shall be covered by this reform. Upon its completion, judges and judicial staff shall dispose of tools and infrastructure enabling them to increase the efficiency of managing the caseload and the speed of administering justice without compromising its quality.
            
            
               The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

               The National School of Judges shall undergo a number of institutional changes with respect to its function and syllabus; its candidate selection criteria shall also be revised, to provide a more selective and competitive studies environment, while admitting additional categories of students (magistrate’s court judges and court of audits judges); it shall also offer additional courses aiming at the provision of new skills, with emphasis on managerial and digital skills, as well as on topics relevant to the performance of judicial duties, such as ethics, time management, psychology, economic theory and analysis, management of courts and new technologies; the reform shall include the provision of mandatory lifelong training to judges in topics essential for the performance of their duties by trainers also formed in the National School of Judges. Finally, a new National School for Judicial Clerks shall be created, to provide training and lifelong training to clerical staff on topics essential for the performance of their duties, management and organization of their service, digital skills, procedural and substantive law. 
            
            
               The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2024.

Additional actions shall enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Justice: 
            
            
               ·the creation of a judicial police to support and enhance the functioning of Justice, by contributing know-how to the investigation of complex crime (including financial crime, corruption and money laundering) and by providing a wide array of services of judicial assistance (assisting in the conduct of preliminary examinations and investigations, the enforcement of judgments and the service of documents and procedural acts, executing warrants, enforcing judgements, maintaining court order, assisting in the submittal of, or response to, requests for judicial assistance and carrying out mandates entrusted to it by the competent courts and public prosecutors),
            
            
               ·the organization of training seminars for presiding judges on the general principles of court administration, 
            
            
               ·amendment of procedural legislation in administrative courts to simplify, digitize and accelerate trials, 
            
            
               ·the introduction of pilot trials in civil courts, 
            
            
               ·the establishment of filtering mechanisms regarding the admissibility of legal remedies,
            
            
               ·the reconfiguration of the method for calculating court costs, and 
            
            
               ·the introduction of a temporary scheme for the provision of financial incentives to judicial clerks, based on objectively measurable individual performance indices and in full consistency with the unified wage grid (Law 4354/2015) without setting any exemption, for the acceleration of the performance of courthouse-related tasks and duties and the elimination of court backlogs.
            
            
               To complete the reform, a set of measures shall be adopted to establish and strengthen alternative dispute resolution institutions through the provision of training to legal counsels, the extension of mediation procedures to criminal proceedings and administrative disputes, the provision of financial incentives to parties selecting alternative dispute resolution methods over court proceedings, the strengthening of the arbitration mechanism and the provision of financial incentives to Arbitration and Mediation Centres to establish user-friendly digital systems.
            
            
               Finally, the creation of an independent office for the systematic collection, processing, aggregation, presentation and monitoring of judicial data shall ensure the proper supervision and monitoring of the function and performance of the judicial system.

               Some of these reforms include actions that address the informational gaps that impede the successful flow of credit and the efficient risk monitoring. These consist of the development of a monitoring registry for private debt, the development of a public credit bureau, a central credit register and a credit expansion observatory. These actions also contribute to the digital transition of the Greek economy, since they rely on information technology. 
            
            
               The measures under this component foster economic and institutional resilience, strengthen crisis preparedness and institutional capacity and therefore support addressing the country-specific recommendation on the “Structural reforms to improve the functioning of the economy” (Country Specific Recommendation 1 2019 and Country Specific Recommendation 4 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               Reform: Enhanced capital market supervision and trustworthiness (measure ID 16581)
            
            
               The reform aims to enhance capital markets supervision by 1) investing into digital transformation of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) digital capacities and digitalising its internal processes and organization, and 2) codifying and modernising the regulatory and legislative framework for capital markets to enhance capital-market’s supervision capacity. The reform shall entry into force by Q1 2021 and the investment in the IT system by Q4 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Strengthening the capacity of the financial system to overcome legacy challenges and finance the real economy (measure ID 16957)
            
            
               This reform consists of three parts. First, it concerns the establishment and operation of a Public Credit Bureau. It shall provide results on the credit worthiness of debtors and eliminate information asymmetry between the public sector entities and banks, based on public sector data and information. It shall also include the completion of an IT system to perform solvency assessments. Second, the reform concerns the implementation of the National Strategy for Private Debt Management and the development of a private debt monitoring register, which shall be completed by Q4 2025. The National Strategy shall include a total of 33 projects, which are divided into three intervention axes. Each intervention axes shall aim at a different aspect of the resolution of private debt management and collectively in accordance with the National Strategy. The first and third axes include interventions to actively reduce private debt stock by improving the insolvency process and empowering the NPL market respectively. The second axis consists of interventions that aim at preventing future private debt build-up. The main investment under this sub-reform is the development of an IT system for the private debt monitoring register. 
            
         
         
            
               Third sub-reform refers to the establishment of a Central Credit Registry (CCR)   that would complement the Hercules Asset Protection Scheme, enhancing the NPL secondary market. The CCR shall be hosted by the Bank of Greece      and it       shall record on a granular basis the payment history of each individual loan of the customers of all banks and financial institutions and the types of collateral provided     . The Central Credit Registry will be complementary to and in full alignment with the existing Tiresias system (private credit bureau), as well the proposed Public Credit Bureau and Monitoring Registry for Private Debt. It shall enable access to credit information, tackling market failures due to asymmetric information, thus facilitating access to credit. By increasing information regarding the credit history of potential debtors, the CCR shall address the adverse selection problem faced by financial institutions when providing new loans to potential lenders, on which they have incomplete information. This, in turn, shall impact positively on the quantity and quality of investment spending. Furthermore, the CCR shall have beneficial effects on the degree of competition among financial institutions, resulting into lower cost of capital for Greek firms and individual customers. Finally, by providing accurate and timely information on individual loans, the CCR shall facilitate greatly the ability of investors to price risk in the secondary market for NPLs. This shall increase NPL valuations, boost recovery rates and, thereby, help banks to resolve legacy NPL challenges faster, and more efficiently in terms of use of capital. All these should be concluded by Q4 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Upgrade of the digital infrastructure necessary for the implementation of the new unified insolvency framework for the restructuring of debt and second chance (measure ID 16580)
            
            
               The reform aims to upgrade the necessary digital infrastructure needed to support the early warning and preventive debt restructuring procedures provided through the new unified/codified legal framework for the management of debt of individuals and legal entities;
            
            
               This reform shall be completed by Q4 2024.
            
            
               Reform: New Loans Promotion – Establishment of the Credit Expansion Observatory (measure ID 16576)
            
            
               The reform concerns the creation of a Credit Expansion Observatory, which shall collect detailed data on the liquidity provided by banks to individuals and legal entities, in order to better design and implement targeted public policies that aim to increase access to finance. It shall monitor market liquidity, independently, as well as in relation to credit expansion, in the context of supporting the economy and making the most of the funding tools to meet liquidity needs of individuals and businesses.
            
            
               The investment under this reform shall include also the design development and operationalisation of a data collection IT system that shall function as a tool for monitoring credit expansion and improve the readiness of the State and its relevant policies. It should be completed by Q4 2024.

                        The National Private Debt Resolution Strategy has been put in place and fully operationalised, in particular through launching the Public Credit Bureau and the Private debt Monitoring Registry. The Central Credit Registry (CCR closely related to the above projects, complements the national strategy for reducing NPLs, increasing transparency and regaining investors’ confidence). These actions aim at preventing future private debt build-up and empowering the NPL market, including by tackling information asymmetries, which facilitate credit decision-making and increase transparency of the payment history and the level of collateral provided.

The CCR shall be a national database, hosted in the Bank of Greece, thus supporting its obligations and functions in supervising the financial sector and ensuring financial stability. The Bank of Greece (BoG) shall act as data controller and shall ensure that strict security and data protection protocols are in place, to safeguard borrowers’ information, submitted by lenders to the CCR. Other services of the Ministry of Finance (Special Secretariat for the management of Private Debt) shall also benefit through possible (to the extent necessary) interoperability of the system with the Public Credit Bureau and the Private Debt monitoring Register. The Ministry of Justice (as co -responsible for the e-collateral register) could also benefit. The Ministry of Digital Governance could be a key-player for the design and operation of the CCR.
                        
                     
                  
               
            
            
               P. COMPONENT 4.5: PROMOTE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
            
            
               The key objectives of this component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan are to increase public and private investment in research and development (R&D), reinforce the links between science and businesses, and develop a pioneering R&D infrastructure, with a view to improving Greece’s research and innovation performance. This is expected to be achieved through targeted reforms and investments to increase public and private R&D expenditure, upgrade the country’s research infrastructures, promote research funding, increase the internationalisation of the Greek research ecosystem, and develop research collaborations. The component also includes the development of an information system for civil protection, which shall inform the competent authorities in real time about physical phenomena and natural disasters, while supporting their cooperation. This investment shall also facilitate the digital transformation, through the development of advanced digital technologies and the digitalisation of civil protection methods, as well as to foster the green transition, by mitigating the impact from climate changes in order to ensure civil protection. The component supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019 and Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               R. COMPONENT 4.7: IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS AND PROMOTE PRIVATE INVESTMENTS AND EXPORTS
            
            
               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan aims to incentivise private investment and increase economic extroversion by addressing long-term structural issues and creating a business environment conducive to development of economic activity. It consists of measures to encourage the growth of firms' size to achieve economies of scale and help them penetrate foreign markets, lift excessive administrative burdens to businesses, foster compliance and a level-playing field through effective market surveillance, and create a simpler and more predictable regulatory framework. These measures are complemented by the proposal to use loan support under the Recovery and Resilience Facility to facilitate the provision of financial incentives to the private sector, aiming to promote private investments. This loan support is expected to be channelled to the economy through three different channels, namely financial institutions (through corporate bond purchases or syndicated loans), an equity platform, and the utilisation of a part of Greece’s InvestEU national compartment. The component supports addressing the country-specific recommendation on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020, and Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

               Reform: Actions for the simplification of the business environment and its upgrading in quality and safety (measure ID 16543)
            
            
               The reform aims to create an attractive business environment conducive to investment, to facilitate firm entry and job creation, and to ensure effective market surveillance. The reform comprises of a set of actions to simplify procedures and requirements relating to business activity, while enhancing regulatory certainty and quality, namely by extending the simplification of investment licensing procedures to additional economic activities, reviewing the legislative framework for the operation of manufacturing activity in Attica region, and codifying fragmented licensing legislation. The reform also comprises of actions to improve the market surveillance framework, namely by reviewing quality policy on standardisation, accreditation and conformity, strengthening market surveillance structures and responsible authorities, and extend the surveillance framework to new inspection areas. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.
            
            
               Reform: Ease of doing business (measure ID 16591)
            
            
               The reform aims to improve the business environment and to ease the administrative and regulatory burden on businesses. The reform also aims to improve Greece’s ranking in international indicators, in particular the World Bank’s Doing Business, namely getting credit, getting electricity, registering property, and getting a construction permit, by reducing procedures, time and the cost and ensuring a stable and predictable legislative framework. Specifically, it comprises of a series of interventions to reduce the complexity of processes, the cost, and time involved in each of the abovementioned areas, as well as training of public sector staff involved in such processes and outreach activities to key stakeholders. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2024.
            
            
               Reform: Incentivisation regime for productivity and extroversion of enterprises (increasing the size of enterprises) (measure ID 16598)
            
            
               The reform aims to tackle weaknesses associated with the predominantly small size of Greek enterprises. It shall create an array of tax, and other, incentives to encourage the self-employed and micro, small and medium sized enterprises to increase economies of scale through mergers, conversions, acquisitions and cooperation schemes and platforms such as joint ventures, clusters that shall also promote higher productivity and increased exports. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 March 2022.

               This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan consists of measures to strengthen the administrative capacity of the Recovery and Resilience Facility Agency, which is the newly established structure exclusively dedicated to the coordination and implementation of Greece’s recovery and resilience plan. The measure is aimed at providing the necessary assistance to the Greek administration to successfully steer the RRP implementation. It is thus expected to indirectly contribute to RRP’s objectives, as underpinned by the measures included across the four pillars, and to support addressing the relevant Country Specific Recommendations for Greece i.e. public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019 and Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020), public finances and health care (Country Specific Recommendation 1 2020), and labour market and social policy (Country Specific Recommendation 2 2020).

               Investment: Technical Assistance (measure ID 16968)
            
            
               The investment consists of six subprojects, namely: 1) development of systems and tools for the organisation of work, 2) purchasing of services from external auditors to carry out audits, inspections and certifications in cases of specific expertise required and the development of an overarching methodological framework for audits, inspections and certifications to support the Recovery and Resilience Facility Agency’s oversight function with respect to the implementation of plan measures, 3) information-raising and publicity actions with respect to key investments and reforms under the plan, 4) conducting studies and purchasing external expertise and technical support in specialised projects, 5) financing expenditure for the daily operation of the Agency (office rent, acquisition of office equipment, coverage of utility bills), and 6) purchase of quality control services for public construction projects to assess compliance with construction contract terms, regulations as well as technical standards. The implementation of subproject 3 shall take place in the context of establishing good governance practices. Relevant actions shall become an integral and permanent feature of the public consultation procedure, and used as a tool to facilitate stakeholder buy-in and ensure sustainable implementation of specific reforms and investments under the plan. Financing of subproject 5 shall be temporary in nature, i.e., insofar it is rendered necessary to support the Recovery and Resilience Facility Agency to carry out its mandate effectively. The measure also concerns the setting up of the management and audit and control systems. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 30 June 2026.

               SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS 
            
            
               1.Arrangements for monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan
            
            
               The monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan of Greece shall take place in accordance with the following arrangements. 
            
         
         
            
               The main body responsible for the coordination of the implementation and the monitoring of the recovery and resilience plan will be the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency, an independent special public service of the Ministry of Finance, established with the law 4738/2020. The Recovery Resilience Facility Coordination Agency shall also be the responsible body to verify that the set milestones and targets of the recovery and resilience plan have been completed and shall also act as the (single) liaison between the European Commission and the Greek authorities. Specifically, its tasks entail the active monitoring of the progress of the projects, on the basis of the agreed milestones and targets, and the submission of the payment requests to the European Commission upon verification of their completion. The latter shall be accompanied by a management declaration that the funds were used for their intended purposes and in accordance with the principle of sound financial management, as well as by a summary of the audits carried out, including weaknesses identified and any corrective actions taken.
            
            
               The overall responsibility for the implementation of each specific measure falls under the competency of the relevant Ministry whose services will support the monitoring of the projects’ progress and maintain close cooperation with the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency. 
            
            
               All measures in the plan shall be implemented by national bodies (“implementing bodies”) appointed by the competent Ministry and shall be responsible for the achievement of the agreed milestones and targets as well as the reporting of all data and documentation to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency through the management information system that shall be established. 
            
            
               Finally, the Financial Audit Committee (EDEL, which is part of the General Secretariat for Fiscal Policy (State General Accounting Office) of the Ministry of Finance, shall safeguard the observance of the principles of sound financial management.
            
            
            
               2.Arrangements for providing full access by the Commission to the underlying data
            
            
               In order to provide full access to the Commission to the underlying relevant data, Greece shall have in place the following arrangements:
            
            
               The Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency, as the central coordinating body for Greece’s recovery and resilience plan and its implementation, is responsible for the overall coordination and monitoring of the plan. In particular, it acts as a coordinating body for monitoring progress on milestones and targets, for monitoring and, where appropriate, implementing control and audit activities, and for providing reporting and requests for payments. It coordinates the reporting of milestones and targets, relevant indicators, but also qualitative financial information and other data, such as on final recipients. The data encoding is taking place throughout implementing bodies, which are obliged to report the required data to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency through Management Information System.
            
            
               In accordance with Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, upon completion of the relevant agreed milestones and targets in Section 2.1 of this Annex, Greece shall submit to the Commission a duly justified request for payment of the financial contribution and, where relevant, of the loan. Greece shall ensure that, upon request, the Commission has full access to the underlying relevant data that supports the due justification of the request for payment, both for the assessment of the request for payment in accordance with Article 24(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and for audit and control purposes.
