Council annex: Portugal Recovery and Resilience Plan — detailed measures

The Council (General Secretariat of the Council) has circulated an annex to the amending Council Implementing Decision approving the assessment of Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, setting out detailed reforms, investments, milestones and financing arrangements.

• Main action: The annex details component-level reforms and investments across health, housing, social services, digitalisation, energy, transport, forests and more, with total estimated costs EUR 21,905,333,169 (including REPowerEU EUR 808,551,368). It lists concrete milestones, targets and timelines (e.g., purchase of 1 160 medical equipment units; construction/renovation targets for health units, housing and schools; delivery/financial-execution thresholds by Q2 2026) and specifies which measures are funded by grants and which by loans.
• Context and implementation details: The annex identifies implementing bodies and procedures (e.g., Banco Português de Fomento to manage capitalisation and subsidy schemes; Climate Agency to manage hydrogen and storage grant schemes), prescribes Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) exclusion lists for eligible activities, and sets out precise monetary transfers and implementing agreements (for example, Portugal shall transfer EUR 1,160,914,218 to BPF for certain facilities; third‑party confirmations of financial execution such as EUR 82,536,300 for primary health care construction or EUR 239,850,000 for Porto metro construction). It also establishes monitoring, audit and anti‑fraud requirements and a governance model (task force EMRP, National Monitoring Commission, Audit and Control Committee).
