Answer to a written question - Use of NextGenerationEU funds in the bullfighting lobby - E-002066/2025(ASW)
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility[1], the Commission disburses payments to Spain following a positive assessment of completion of the milestones and targets specified in the Council Implementing Decision (CID) of its recovery and resilience plan[2].
The Spanish authorities are responsible for the completion of milestones and targets and request payments to the Commission as they are completed. The Commission then assesses their implementation exclusively against the specific requirements set out in the CID.
In this specific case, the association at stake is a beneficiary of EUR 6 000 under the Digital Toolkit Program. This grant-based program aims to boost the digitalisation of small and medium enterprises, micro-enterprises and self-employed, in any sector of economic activity, raising their level of digital maturity.
It contributes to the completion of measure C13.I3 (‘Digitalisation and Innovation’).
Target 200 (‘Budget committed to the Digital Toolkit Program’, assessed as satisfactorily fulfilled as part of the fourth payment request)[3], and targets 204 and 208 (which require actual support to companies and have not been assessed by the Commission yet) are part of this measure.
