Giorgetti says EU to mull extension of NRRP

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 12 - Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti on Friday said the European Union should consider extending the deadline of the post-COVID National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) beyond its current date of 2026, despite official resistance to this idea.
    "I personally reiterated that perhaps evaluating, without obviously changing the amount of resources available, a possible extension could be useful," Giorgetti said in Luxembourg on the sidelines of the Council of Economy Ministers.
    "I see that the Poles have also made the same point.
    "We know perfectly well that there is no willingness today to consider this.
    "We will talk about it again in a year, as in other situations, the Italian positions at first seem isolated or out of place, but in the end they are much more realistic than other approaches". (ANSA).
