G. COMPONENT 2.3: DIGITALISATION OF BUSINESS

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience concerns the provision of capital to Greek small and medium-sized enterprises to finance the investment in digital technologies and purchase of associated services. It aims to address the currently low levels of digital maturity among them, including due to low digital skills, whilst fostering productivity and the development of innovative businesses. At the same time, it is expected to help such businesses to adapt to new challenges and take advantage of emerging business trends. In particular, the component provides for the establishment of a single digital marketplace, to which both the suppliers of these products and services shall have access. Promoting the use of electronic payments and sales, upgrading of cash registers and POS ecosystem, and the creation of industrial data platforms are key targets of this component. Further, the component offers tax incentives that help to create a digital business ecosystem conducive to the digital transformation of small- and medium-sized enterprises. A central supporting mechanism for small- and medium-sized enterprises, facilitating the provision of training and awareness programs so that they may make the most of the tools and services offered through the digital marketplace, is also envisaged.

The measures are expected to respond to the digital transition and the challenges resulting from it, as they are expected to contribute to the uptake of digital technologies and digital upskilling of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Greece. Further, the measures are also expected to facilitate smart and sustainable growth by further stimulating private investment, thus helping to address the Country Specific Recommendation on public and private investment (CSR 3 2020). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

J. COMPONENT 3.3: IMPROVE RESILIENCE, ACCESSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF HEALTHCARE

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan focuses on increasing the resilience of the health care system through various interventions. Part of these measures focus on infrastructural, both physical and digital, and operational improvements to modernise and upgrade the hospital system and the network of health centres. Others aim at supporting and enhancing access, efficiency and resilience of the health-care sector. More specifically, these include measures to strengthen public health and prevention, to increase the capacity of the health-care system to deliver mental health and home care services, to support the transition towards a stronger primary health-care sector and to rationalise pharmaceutical spending and support pharmaceutical R&D. The plan on digitisation of health-care systems and services has the objective to promote efficiency, improve access and increase the overall transparency and quality of public spending in the system. It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

J.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support

Reform: Reforms and acceleration of investments in the Healthcare Sector - Clawback reduction and rationalization of healthcare expenditure (measure ID: 16816)

The reform of the clawback system shall introduce risk-sharing in the calculation of the clawback by setting a binding target of clawback reduction over the next years, a minimum reduction of clawback amounts by EUR 50 000 000 (2022), EUR 150 000 000 (2023), EUR 300 000 000 (2024) and EUR 400 000 000 (2025) respectively, from the 2020 levels, to be achieved through the full enforcement of previously adopted and new efficiency enhancing measures and fully in line with EU State aid rules. In addition, the measure foresees the financing of clinical trial, R&D or other investment expenditure by liable companies, limited to the 3-year period 2021-2023, through a partial offset of their clawback liabilities. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 30 June 2026.

Reform: Reform of the Primary Health Care System (measure ID: 16755)

This reform foresees to 1) implement upgrade and energy efficient renovations and energy efficient measures regarding public infrastructure and medical equipment of at least 50% of the total health centres in the country (156 out of a total of 312), 2) implement an administrative and organisational restructuring to create a unified model of care and retrain staff to act effectively as first-line care, 3) expand the availability of active (where courses have already started) family medicine curricula, so that these are offered by at least 75% of medical schools and introduce an element of family medicine in all medical curricula by Q4 2022 and 4) support the development of an integrated care system by establishing a framework for chronic diseases management. The reform of the primary care interacts with secondary care (especially access to hospital care) and it is expected to lead to improved health services for citizens and support the principle of equal access to health services, efficiency and social cohesion. It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

Investment: Establishment of Home Health Care & Hospital at Home systems (measure ID: 16753)

The investment concerns the establishment of a home care system for targeted groups of patients with chronic disabilities. Home care is combined with parallel organised support from health care units and concerns children, adolescents and adults with serious chronic health problems that cause long-term or permanent disabilities. This improves the quality of life of patients while freeing up resources for the National Health System. The investment shall implement five subprojects: 1) a needs assessment survey focusing on the identification of good practices, the recording of the needs and the current situation in Greece and the formulation of a proposal for the institutionalization of home care; 2) the implementation of telemedicine applications as monitoring tools for patient support; 3) the creation and implementation of a national registry for patients treated through home care; 4) the determination of standardised therapeutic protocols, as well as quality and safety standards and 5) the establishment of eight Reference Sites (one in each regional health authority). The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 30 June 2025.

Investment: Project for the construction of a building dedicated to Cellular & Gene Therapies and Hematology Clinic Laboratories within the General Hospital of Thessaloniki “Papanikolaou” (measure ID: 16793).

The investment foresees the creation of new buildings for the housing of the Laboratories of Cell and Genetic Therapy and Hematology Clinic at Papanikolaou Hospital, in order to keep its services in line with the increased requirements of patient care (malignant haematological diseases) and increasing demand for modern and technologies; it shall also upgrade the existing building for the transfer of laboratories and the day care unit. The newly constructed building shall comply with a Primary Energy Demand (PED) that is at least 20% lower than the NZEB requirement (nearly zero-energy building, national directives). It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the measure requires the economic operators carrying out the construction works to ensure that at least 70% (by weight) of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (excluding naturally occurring material referred to in category 17 05 04 in the European List of Waste established by Decision 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 replacing Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste (notified under document number C(2000) 1147)) generated on the construction site shall be prepared for re-use, recycling and other material recovery, including backfilling operations using waste to substitute other materials, in accordance with the waste hierarchy and the EU Construction and Demolition Waste Management Protocol. The implementation of the investment shall be completed by 31 December 2025.

Reform: Personal doctor reform (measure ID: 16984)

The reform aims at increasing the number of personal doctors enrolled in the personal doctor system in order to achieve full population coverage and complete the population registration. Personal doctors are understood doctors specialising in general/family medicine and internists. The reform shall enlarge the pool of available personal doctors by signing up all current rural doctors as 1st year personal doctors and by opening new similar 1st year positions in all urban, suburban and rural areas where there is still a gap of personal doctors. An incentive mechanism shall be introduced for these doctors in order to continue serving as personal doctors after the 1st year. This mechanism shall include financial incentives and grant priority to become residents in General Medicine or Pathology and become certified as general practitioners. In addition, the total number of available residency positions in General Medicine or Pathology shall be increased. The gatekeeping-based system shall be activated. The implementation of the reform shall be completed by Q2 2025.

K. COMPONENT 3.4: INCREASE ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE AND INCLUSIVE SOCIAL POLICIES

This component of the Greek recover and resolution plan aims to promote social inclusion with a particular focus on vulnerable groups, while supporting participation of women in the labour market. A large part of the component is dedicated to early childhood education and care, in particular in the form of subsidies for the creation of 1 000 new childcare units in municipalities. The Plan also allows for labour market activation measures for vulnerable groups including beneficiaries of guaranteed minimum income, refugees, homeless people, Roma and people suffering from autism spectrum disorders. A large-scale training programme for small businesses on diversity awareness and several small pilots such as on deinstitutionalization of children, support of persons with disabilities and social housing are also key elements of the plan. The component is in line with the Country Specific Recommendations on labour market and social policy (Country Specific Recommendations 2 2020 and 1 2019) and investment (Country Specific Recommendations 3 2020 and 2 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

L. COMPONENT 4.1: MAKING TAXES MORE GROWTH FRIENDLY AND IMPROVING TAX ADMINISTRATION AND TAX COLLECTION

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan comprises targeted reforms and investment to continue improving the functioning of the public revenue administration and fight against tax evasion. Firstly, this component includes tax policy reforms, to facilitate the codification of tax legislation, as well as to introduce incentives to enhance electronic transactions, promote green and digital private investments, and increase the size of enterprises. Secondly, the component contains reforms and investments aiming at the transformation of the public revenue administration, through digitalising processes, and introducing legislative initiatives to combat smuggling and promote the acceleration of VAT refunds.

The component contributes to the digital transition, through the replacement and upgrade of Independent Authority for Public Revenue’s (IAPR) core digital systems, the introduction of automated office and work processes, the digitalisation of audits and controls, as well as the update and improvement of taxpayer e-services.

This component supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020), structural reforms to improve the functioning of the economy (Country Specific Recommendation 4 2020), and on tax policy and tax administration (Country Specific Recommendation 1 2022 and Country Specific Recommendation 1 2023). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

R. COMPONENT 4.7: IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS AND PROMOTE PRIVATE INVESTMENTS AND EXPORTS

This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan aims to incentivise private investment and increase economic extroversion by addressing long-term structural issues and creating a business environment conducive to development of economic activity. It consists of measures to encourage the growth of firms' size to achieve economies of scale and help them penetrate foreign markets, lift excessive administrative burdens to businesses, foster compliance and a level-playing field through effective market surveillance, and create a simpler and more predictable regulatory framework. These measures are complemented by the proposal to use loan support under the Recovery and Resilience Facility to facilitate the provision of financial incentives to the private sector, aiming to promote private investments. This loan support is expected to be channelled to the economy through three different channels, namely financial institutions (through corporate bond purchases or syndicated loans), an equity platform, and the utilisation of a part of Greece’s InvestEU national compartment. The component supports addressing the country-specific recommendation on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 2020, and Country Specific Recommendation 2 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

SECTION 2: REFORMS AND INVESTMENTS UNDER THE REPOWEREU CHAPTER

The goal of the REPowerEU chapter is to support Greece’s ambitions in terms of energy independence and green transition, in the context of the new geopolitical and energy market situation. The reforms and investments under REPowerEU aim to strengthen Greece's energy sovereignty and accelerate the decarbonisation of its economy.

All of the investments in the REPowerEU chapter entail a cross border dimension, covering investments in energy storage, decarbonisation of industry and energy efficiency. The REPowerEU chapter introduces new measures contributing to reducing the reliance on fossil fuels, as per the country specific recommendations (CSR) adopted in 2023 and 2023 (CSR 4 2023 and CSR 4 2022).

New reform measures aim to further expand the deployment of renewable energy by completing the legal framework for offshore wind farms, facilitating investments in energy storage, smart grid and putting in place new legislative frameworks for the production of renewable hydrogen and bio-methane. A new reform aims at fostering energy sharing and decentralised forms of producing renewable energy (such as self-consumption and energy communities). New investment measures support the increase of storage capacity and the decentralised production of renewable energy. Further, additional support is allocated to improve the energy efficiency of households, including targeted support for energy-poor households, and the private sector.

It is expected that no measure under the REPowerEU chapter does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

The monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan of Greece shall take place in accordance with the following arrangements.

The main body responsible for the coordination of the implementation and the monitoring of the recovery and resilience plan will be the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency, an independent special public service of the Ministry of Finance, established with the law 4738/2020. The Recovery Resilience Facility Coordination Agency shall also be the responsible body to verify that the set milestones and targets of the recovery and resilience plan have been completed and shall also act as the (single) liaison between the European Commission and the Greek authorities. Specifically, its tasks entail the active monitoring of the progress of the projects, on the basis of the agreed milestones and targets, and the submission of the payment requests to the European Commission upon verification of their completion. The latter shall be accompanied by a management declaration that the funds were used for their intended purposes and in accordance with the principle of sound financial management, as well as by a summary of the audits carried out, including weaknesses identified and any corrective actions taken.

The overall responsibility for the implementation of each specific measure falls under the competency of the relevant Ministry whose services will support the monitoring of the projects’ progress and maintain close cooperation with the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency.

All measures in the plan shall be implemented by national bodies (“implementing bodies”) appointed by the competent Ministry and shall be responsible for the achievement of the agreed milestones and targets as well as the reporting of all data and documentation to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Coordination Agency through the management information system that shall be established.

Finally, the Financial Audit Committee (EDEL, which is part of the General Secretariat for Fiscal Policy (State General Accounting Office) of the Ministry of Finance, shall safeguard the observance of the principles of sound financial management.
