The EC accepted the application for the payment of EUR 6 billion from the KPO

Poland submitted the first application for payment from the National Reconstruction Plan in mid-January 2024, 1.5 years after the European Commission accepted the Polish Plan. In February, the Commission issued a preliminary positive assessment of the first Polish application for EUR 6.3 billion. The Commission also informed that this amount was 10.5%. funds from the Polish National Reconstruction Plan, consisting of EUR 2.69 billion in grants and EUR 3.63 billion in loans.
