Commissioners Ferreira at the annual Technical Support Instrument conference focused on Member States' resilience

Tomorrow, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira, will open the Conference ‘Building resilience of Member States' - organised by the Commission. During the conference, high-level representatives from the Commission, Member States and other Institutions will discuss key challenges and opportunities faced by EU public administrations along with how the Technical Support Instrument (TSI) can support them for the successful design and implementation of resilience-enhancing reforms, in particular in the context of the recent crises, COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Commissioner Ferreira said: “The Recovery and Resilience Facility, the cohesion funds and the TSI are important opportunities the Commission put forward for Member States to achieve a recovery along with the digital and green transition. In the context of the current crisis, Member States should further enhance their administrations' resilience and reinforce their capacity to anticipate, face and recover from crises. I look forward to presenting how the Commission is ready to help them in this endeavour.” The conference will also highlight the main priorities for the TSI for 2023, notably: providing continuous support for the implementation of the recovery and resilience plans; ensuring the implementation of EU priorities; and encouraging the design and the implementation of multi-country and multi-regional projects. The Commission has been actively cooperating with Member States to increase the quality of their public administration through the identification of critical issues, the support to the design and deployment of reforms, the provision of capacity-building tools and of guidance, the facilitation of exchange of knowledge and experience, financial support and the promotion of research and innovation.
