Pnrr, green light to the 10 changes to the objectives of the fourth installment: what it means – Corriere.it

The formal review process of the fourth installment of the Pnrr can start. The booth gave the green light to 10 changes out of 27 goals, which have already been shared with the European Commission. This was learned at the end of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi. The amount of the fourth installment amounts to 16 billion euros. The payment of this installment risks being postponed to 2024. The sending of the application to receive the fourth installment is currently postponed precisely because the government has decided to review a series of objectives. Meanwhile, Italy is still waiting to receive the funds of the third installment, which the government requested at the end of 2022. I can tell you that the Commission will never proceed with a disbursement if the objectives are not achieved. This is specifically why the evaluation takes a long time: the third request was presented at the end of last year and therefore the times are much longer, six months compared to the ordinary two. However we are carrying out this very in-depth assessment, the Italian authorities are working and I think the exercise will end shortly, European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni explained in this regard. This process of reviewing the targets, explained the Minister of European Affairs, the South, Cohesion Policies and the Pnrr, Raffaele Fitto, will lead to the request for the entire fourth installment, not imagining a definancing.

The summit at Palazzo Chigi

The control room of the Pnrr, which met at Palazzo Chigi on Tuesday 11 July, was urgently convened by the Minister for European Affairs Raffaele Fitto. In addition to Fitto, who chairs the meeting at Palazzo Chigi, ministers Luca Ciriani (Relations with Parliament), Francesco Lollobrigida (Agriculture), Maria Elisabetta Casellati (Institutional Reforms), Daniela Santanch (Tourism), Carlo Nordio ( Justice), Adolfo Urso (Business), Marina Calderone (Work), Orazio Schillaci (Health), Gennaro Sangiuliano (Culture) and Gilberto Pichetto (Environment). All relevant ministries were represented by technical staff. Also present were Carlo Alberto Manfredi Selvaggi, head of the new mission structure of the Pnrr, and the president of the Anci Antonio Decaro.

Postponed the award of tenders for nursery schools

One of the objectives that has been postponed is that relating to nursery schools. The intermediate stage, that of awarding tenders, has been postponed. So you can continue to award tenders. If there is some money left over, we will be able to make further tenders, again for nursery schools, said Antonio Decaro, mayor of Bari and president of Anci, at the end of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi. There is no new date, there is an agreement to continue the competitions. At the end of June we had awarded tenders for 91.4% of the resources, so we can continue. We continue, should there be problems, they move it over time and we can reopen the tender for some municipalities that perhaps did not participate at the time, explained Decaro: We talked about the remodulation of the fourth installment, I mainly saw administrative issues . I made sure with an intervention that the money of the Municipalities is here, because with the efforts we have made. We awarded 91.4% of the tenders in just four months.
