EU updates climate and digital tagging for Latvia RRP

The European Commission (SWD(2026) 159 final) has updated the climate tracking and digital tagging of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) for Latvia, accompanying a Proposal for a Council Implementing Decision to amend the 13 July 2021 Implementing Decision.

• Main action: The Commission publishes an updated assessment (dated 15.6.2026) of Latvia’s modified RRP, noting that the modifications submitted under Article 21(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 affect 22 measures; the modified plan receives A-ratings across criteria except for costing (B-rating). The document lists measure-level budgets in EURm and applies the climate tracking and digital tagging coefficients from Annexes VI and VII of the RRF Regulation.
• Background and details: The note specifies that all spending contributing to climate objectives listed in the table is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility; it highlights concrete measures and budgets such as hospital infrastructure (€149.50m), competitive rail passenger transport (€114.62m), electricity transmission and distribution modernisation (€80m; €79.71m), and grid synchronisation/security (€60.34m). It also clarifies that REPowerEU chapter reforms/investments are excluded from the digital target calculation under Regulation (EU) 2021/241.
