The Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (RRM) is a temporary instrument that forms the centerpiece of the NextGenerationEU funds. The Swedish recovery and resilience plan has responded to the urgent need to foster a strong recovery, while making the Swedish economy and society more resilient and prepared for the future through the €3.2 billion allocated to the country. On green transportation, €148 million will be invested in strengthening support to improve railway capacity. For instance,more than 60 km of Swedish railway tracks were upgraded and 6 switches were replaced on the Gävle-Åänge route. The ultimate goal is to increase rail capacity and enable more people and companies to use rail as a means of transport.

Infoclip: Railway infrastructure upgrade - Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) - Gävle-Vallvik (Sweden)

The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is a temporary instrument that is the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU funds - the EU’s plan to emerge stronger and more resilient from the current crisis. Spain has received 69.5 billion euros from these funds, becoming the EU Member State receiving the most funds. The country has invested 796 million euros of the RRF in the acquisition of high-tech equipment in hospitals for the recovery of the National Health System under the Investment Plan for High-Tech Equipment (INVEAT). The incorporation of the equipment has made it possible to improve the diagnostic safety for patients, especially in cardiovascular imaging and nuclear medicine. This infoclip illustrates new equipment purchased at the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid, financed with the RRF: a MRI, two Spectral CT and an angiography.
