\nits national recovery and resilience plan and add a new chapter on REPowerEU, a
\nprogramme aimed at consolidating the EU’s strategic autonomy. According to the

\ninvestments and an expanded measure relating to increasing the production of
\ngreen energy, improving the energy efficiency of buildings and consolidating
\nthe training of the staff working in the production of green energy. Romania
\nalso requests the elimination of four investments from the initial plan and the

\nplan meets all the criteria laid down in the Regulation establishing the
\nRecovery and Resilience Facility. If the assessment is positive, the Commission
\nwill present the EU Council with a proposal for the modification of the
\nexecution decision to take into account the adjustments brought to the Romanian
\nplan. <\/p>\n
