Co-financed projects

The construction of a greener, more digital and more resilient Europe is the goal pursued by the NEXT GENERATION EU programme, an exceptional temporary recovery instrument agreed by the European Council in 2020 to articulate a coordinated response with the EU member states to the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is the centerpiece of the programme. Restoring the growth potential of the EU economies, promoting job creation after the crisis and promoting sustainable growth are the goals pursued by the European Union through the implementation of this mechanism.

RRF Funds

The RRF is endowed with 723,800 million euros that will be used for loans (385,800 million euros) and transfers (338,000 million euros). Its purpose is to support investment and reforms in Member States in order to achieve a sustainable and resilient recovery, while promoting the EU's green and digital priorities.

At the national level, the Plan for the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience of the Spanish economy foresees, until 2026, the mobilization of up to 140,000 million euros of public investment. The transversal axes around which the policies of the plan are structured are:

  • Ecological transition
  • Digital transformation
  • Social and territorial cohesion
  • Gender equality

In line with the objectives of the MRR, the Port Authority of Vilagarcía is going to undertake the work “Railway to Ferrazo, phase 3”, which is financed through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, linking to the Resilient Infrastructure and Ecosystems lever policy, and within this to the Safe, Sustainable and Connected Mobility component. 

The Improvement of the Sálvora Lighthouse, and the Rehabilitation of the maritime station at the Passenger Pier, are also financed from these funds. After the section on Management of MRR funds you can consult more detailed information about all these actions. Likewise, in the Works and Projects section of this website there is additional information about them.
