(10a) The Facility should support projects that respect the principle of additionality of Union funding and that generate a genuine European added value. The Facility should not be a substitute for recurring national expenditures and should not run counter to the strategic and economic interests of the Union, and should therefore not finance investment plans of third countries. However, recurrent costs from investments and reforms should be considered in the costing of the Recovery and Resilience Plan if they have direct positive structural benefits and if the negative effect on the government balance is only temporary.

(19) In order to ensure a meaningful financial contribution commensurate to the actual needs of Member States to undertake and complete the reforms and investments included in the recovery and resilience plan, it is appropriate to establish a maximum financial contribution available to them under the Facility as far as the financial support (i.e. the non- repayable financial support) is concerned. TDuring 2021 and 2022, that maximum contribution should be calculated on the basis of the population, the inverse of the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the relative unemployment rate of each Member State for the years 2015-2019. During 2023 and 2024 that maximum financial contribution should be calculated on the basis of the population, the inverse GDP, the relative unemployment rate of each Member State for the years 2015-2019 and the cumulative loss in real GDP observed over the period 2020-2021 compared to 2019.

(39) The recovery and resilience plans to be implemented by the Member States and the corresponding financial contribution allocated to them should be established by the Commission by way of implementing act. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. The implementing powers relating to the adoption of the recovery and resilience plans and to the payment of the financial support upon fulfilment of the relevant milestones and targets should be exercised by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council, under the examination procedure thereof13 . After the adoption of an implementing delegated act, it should be possible for the Member State concerned and the Commission to agree on certain operational arrangements of a technical nature, detailing aspects of the implementation with respect to timelines, indicators for the milestones and targets, and access to underlying data. To allow the continuous relevance of the operational arrangements in respect of the prevailing circumstances during the implementation of the recovery and resilience plan, it should be possible that the elements of such technical arrangements may be modified by mutual consent. Horizontal financial rules adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on the basis of Article 322 ofSuch arrangements, as well as the choice of the relevant milestones and targets, shall allow the inclusion in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union apply to this Regulation. These rules are laid down in the Financial Regulation and determine in particular the procedure for establishing and implementing the budget through grants, procurement, prizes,covery and resilience plans of infrastructural investments which, due to their indiherecnt implementation, and provide for checks on the responsibility of financial actors.
