European Commission approved Portugal’s ninth payment request for €2.32 billion under the Recovery and Resilience Facility, part of NextGenerationEU. The approval follows a positive assessment that Portugal met all 22 milestones and 29 targets set in the Council Implementing Decision. Key measures in the request include modernising vocational education, investing €1 billion to strengthen the equity base of Portuguese firms, enhancing risk prevention and sustainable land use through the ‘Emparcelar para Ordenar’ programme, expanding waste‑management capacity, and streamlining environmental licensing. The Commission has forwarded its preliminary assessment to the Economic and Financial Committee, which has four weeks to issue an opinion. Once the Committee’s opinion is adopted and the Commission adopts a payment decision, the funds can be disbursed.
