The proposals follow formal requests for additional financial assistance under SURE submitted by Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta on top of the support that the Council has already approved. After assessing the requests submitted by the six Member States, the Commission proposed that the Council approve the additional financial assistance thereby bringing the total financial assistance proposed by the Commission under SURE to €94.3 billion for 19 Member States. The additional assistance proposed is €394 million for Belgium, €125 million for Cyprus, €2.5 billion for Greece, €113 million for Latvia, €355 million for Lithuania, and €177 million for Malta. This additional support will assist the six Member States in tackling the continued severe socio-economic impact of the crisis in light of the resurgence of infections and the containment measures introduced in response to it.
