The Introduction of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans in the Light of the Visegrád Grup Countries' Experience

ABSTRACT

National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRPs) set out the objectives for recovery and building the socio-economic resilience of EU Member States following the crisis caused by COVID-19. In their framework, countries also declare the introduction of structural reforms and investments for their implementation. The author aims to offer a closer look at and characterize the adoption procedure and basic assumptions of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans developed by Visegrád Group Member States, which are among the greatest beneficiaries of the Plans. Thus, it is worth zooming in on the national design and approval procedures for the various recovery plans, their basic assumptions, and procedures for their approval by Union bodies. The reason for researching this issue is the characteristic distribution of accents in existing research. On the one hand, there are many publications on the European Instrument for Reconstruction and Enhancement of Resilience. On the other hand, the analysis of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans of the Visegrad Group countries has not, so far, been the scope of broader legal and comparative research. © 2023, Spoldzielczy Instytut Naukowy.
