– Three main conditions have not yet been fulfilled: two thematic main conditions related to transport and health care and one horizontal main condition specified in the Charter of Fundamental Rights – said the representative of the European Commission in an interview with the Brussels correspondent of RMF FM.

In the case of transport, we are talking about the implementation of an investment plan in this industry. As for health care, Brussels calls for the development of a strategic framework for “health and long-term care policy”.

“Not a single euro will be paid in the field of transport and health care until these conditions are met,” said the journalist's interlocutor, who emphasized that the allocation of funds will probably take place at the same time as the allocation of funds. National reconstruction plan. This will happen in the middle of the year, although Pelczynska-Nalec assured that March-April is a realistic prospect.
