EU. Parliament and the European Council reached an interim agreement on Wednesday 18 November 2020 to "deploy additional resources and measures to mitigate the immediate effects of the Covid-19 crisis".
The EU wants to encourage recovery from the social consequences of the pandemic and prepare a green, digital and resilient recovery of the European economy. Its REACT-EU programme will provide an additional €47.5bn over two years, of which €37.5bn for 2020 and €10bn for 2022. The funding will come from the EU's Structural Funds.
It remains for the European Parliament and the European Council to vote on this text.
