This was recalled by the Minister for European Affairs and the PNRR, Raffaele Fittoin its communication in the House in the Chamberexplaining that “it was made a very complex and articulated work” and saying he was “very satisfied” with the “constant comparison” with the EU, which “is producing very positive results” and has led to “also public appreciation of the European Commission”.
Fitto explained that the fourth installment will go from 16 to 16.5 billionalso incorporating that part of the resources of the third installment that have been postponed, and will start to conclude by the end of 2023allowing you to receive the full expected sum of 35 billion.

The Minister then clarified that the projects will take place in any case and the interventions “will continue regularly”even those subject to changes in the comparison with the European Commission.
