Push for permanent RRF faces scrutiny amidst latest €600m fraud in Italy

In this episode of our daily ‘Today in the EU’ podcast, we take a deep dive into the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).

To break this topic down we have with us Euractiv's economy hub: Anna Brunetti, Thomas Moeller Nielsen and Jonathan Packroff.
