PRR: Deadline to complete plan ends today with Government guaranteeing 100% execution

SAPO31 August 2026 at 08:51

The deadline for completing the Recovery and Resilience Plan ends today, with the Government guaranteeing that it will achieve 100% execution of the plan. This is an important deadline for meeting the commitments made to the European Commission.

The Minister of Economy, Manuel Castro Almeida, announced that the loan component, which amounts to around 5.5 billion euros, will also be fully executed. According to the minister, this should happen "unless some unforeseen event occurs," leaving a small margin for possible contingencies.

The plan represents a significant investment for the country, with rigorous execution targets that had to be met within the established deadline. The full execution of the RRP is essential for Portugal to maintain credibility with European institutions and ensure access to the available funds.

NEAFC Measures to Combat Unsustainable Russian Mackerel Fishing Enter into Force

Measures adopted by the Northeast Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) to combat unsustainable Russian mackerel fishing, proposed by the European Union, have entered into force. Russia unilaterally increased its quota to 67,548 tonnes in 2026, and NEAFC responded by establishing a limit of 1,495 tonnes for Russian catches in international waters. The measure prohibits members from facilitating unsustainable fishing, including transshipments and refueling of Russian vessels above the quota. The EU, the United Kingdom, and Iceland are also applying restrictions within their national jurisdictions, denying port entry to vessels with excess Russian catches. The European Commission emphasizes that additional efforts are needed to recover mackerel stocks, calling for the extension of restrictions and a ban on at-sea transshipments.
