During the meeting, they reviewed the funds Greece has drawn from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) so far. It was noted that Greece stands out as one of the EU member states that has efficiently utilized both grants and loans while implementing strong safeguards to prevent mismanagement.

The discussion also covered the EU’s next seven-year budget, taking into account the growing investment needs of the European economy, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and the necessity of increasing defense spending across the bloc.

Additionally, both sides emphasized the crucial role of the European Court of Auditors—not only in ensuring the proper allocation of EU funds but also in shaping best practices for future financial programs.
