On 31 May 2022, Romania submitted a payment request to the Commission based on the achievement of the 21 milestones and targets selected in the Council Implementing Decision for the first instalment. They cover reforms in the areas of sustainable transport, decarbonisation and road safety, the electricity market, the replacement of coal in the energy mix, improving tax and tax administration processes, and stepping up the fight against corruption. They also address reforms of the compulsory education system to prevent and reduce early school leaving, and of Romania's audit and control system for the implementation of the RRF. The Romanian recovery and resilience plan includes a wide range of investment and reform measures in 15 thematic components. It is worth €29.2 billion in grants and loans, 13% of which (€3.7 billion) has already been disbursed to Romania in pre-financing.
