10.35-11.50 DIALOGUE I: NEXT GENERATION EU AND MEMBER STATES’ PRIORITIES The European Union has set the bar high for developing a major economic plan to build a lasting and successful recovery. This has certainly demonstrated that “Europe is stronger than its divisions”. Yet, the success of the Next Generation Europe will depend on the national plans put forward by Member States. Within this frame, it is evident that green economy is essential for a long-term prosperity. Considering the issues at stake for the recovery and reconstruction phases, is there room for synergies and cooperation between Italy and the Netherlands in the implementation of the NGEU?
