The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, received the Special government commissioner for reconstruction in the flood-hit Emilia Romagna, Tuscany and Marche regions, Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, at Palazzo Chigi today.

A steering committee meeting for the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) was held at Palazzo Chigi this afternoon. The meeting, called by Minister for European Affairs, Southern Italy, Cohesion Policy and the NRRP Raffaele Fitto, was chaired by President of the Council of Ministers Giorgia Meloni and was also attended by Government Ministers and representatives of regional, provincial and municipal authorities. During the meeting, the progress of NRRP implementation was reviewed and an update was provided on the payment of the third instalment, amounting to EUR 18.5 billion, which should arrive in the coming days. There was also an update on the payment request for the fourth instalment, amounting to EUR 16.5 billion, which the Government sent to the European Commission on 22 September, and regarding an initial analysis of the milestones and targets to be met for the fifth instalment, also based on the proposed revision of the Plan. 

I welcome with great interest French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal for cooperation on the fight against illegal immigration. It is clear that Italy, France and the EU must act together to support migrants’ states of origin and to help states of transit dismantle criminal networks of human traffickers. This is the direction the Italian Government has already taken and wants to pursue together with European institutions and its European allies.
