The European Commission released subsidies in the amount of 702 million euros (17.7 billion crowns) to the Czech Republic as part of the extraordinary recovery fund intended to mitigate the consequences of the economic crisis. The EU executive announced its approval for the payment of this money already in February. According to the commission, the Czech Republic has met the conditions in order to receive additional funding from the National Recovery Plan.
“Today the Commission paid the Czech Republic a second payment of EUR 702 million in grants under the Recovery and Resilience Instrument. As with all other member states, the payments provided to the Czech Republic under this instrument are based on the results achieved and the implementation of the investments and reforms set out in the Czech recovery plan,” the European Commission said in a statement.
The Czech Republic submitted a request for the second payment last December 6. The European Commission then announced in February this year that the Czech Republic had “satisfactorily met 28 milestones and targets” and approved subsidies in the amount of 702 million euros. The commission approved the first regular payment to the Czech Republic already last February, when it was about subsidy in the amount of 928 million euros (23.5 billion crowns).
