France's overall recovery and resilience plan amounts to €39.4 billion, exclusively in the form of subsidies. Payments under the RRF are contingent upon France making the investments and reforms described in its recovery and resilience plan. This first payment is conditional on the achievement of 38 milestones and targets. The Commission now has two months to make its assessment. It will then send the Council's Economic and Financial Committee its preliminary assessment of France's compliance with the milestones and targets required for this payment.
