COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT - Updated climate tracking and digital tagging of the recovery and resilience plan of Romania

EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 22.10.2025 SWD(2025) 342 final COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT Updated climate tracking and digital tagging of the recovery and resilience plan of Romania Accompanying the document Proposal for a COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION amending Implementing Decision (EU) (ST 12319/21 INIT; ST 12319/21 ADD 1) of 29 October 2021 on the approval of the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan for Romania {COM(2025) 654 final} EN EN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The modifications submitted by Romania under Article 21(1) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 affect 147 measures in total. Romania requested to modify these 147 measures due to objective circumstances. In addition, the proposed amendments to the Romania recovery and resilience plan aim to adapt the plan in line with the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council “NextGenerationEU – the Road to 2026”1. Based on the assessment of the submitted modification, the Romanian modified plan receives an A-rating on all criteria except for costing, where the plan receives a B-rating (unchanged from the original plan assessment).
