(12) In order to implement these overall objectives, relevant actions will be identified during the Facility’s preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes. Also, due attention should be paid to the impact of the national plans submitted under this Regulation on fostering not only the green transition, but also the digital transformation. They will both play a priority role in relaunching and modernising our economy. However, the new generation of digital technologies should, in accordance with the precautionary principle, be subject to careful attention in order to ensure a sufficiently high level of protection for human health and the environment.

Recital 19 a (new)
(19a) The socio-economic consequences of the pandemic are likely to be unevenly distributed across regions and territories due to economic and social disparities, diverging competitiveness potential, the degree of reliance on tourism, on client- facing services or on services which cannot be performed remotely. This entails a risk of widening regional and territorial disparities within Member States, aggravating diverging trends between less developed regions and more developed ones, between social peripheries and the rest of urban areas as well as between some urban areas and rural areas. Taking into account the impact of the average unemployment rate on the methodology for the calculation of the maximum financial contribution per Member State under the Facility, priority should be given to the regions and territories with the highest unemployment rate, in order to alleviate the socio- economic impacts of the pandemic and facilitate the economic recovery.
