La normativa per l'attuazione del programma Next Generation EU

The European institutions, since December 2020, have been issuing a series of provisions to implement the Next Generation EU plan, conceived by the European Council. The rules issued by the political institutions are articulated along three main guidelines. The first is the one related to the monitoring of Member States for the implementation of the investment and reform programs agreed with the European Commission. The second is the abidance by the rule of law. The third and last concerns the Own Resources Decision. From the analysis of this set of rules, it clearly emerges that the main role in the management of the NGEU program belongs to the Commission, while the role of the other institutions, and in particular that of the European Parliament, appears to be rather limited. This structure raises some doubts on its coherence with the founding Treaty and on the balance of power in the new economic governance at European level.
