A notice of meeting published by the EU Council on 26 June 2026 schedules the Financial Counsellors Working Party for 2 July 2026 at 09:30 in the Justus Lipsius building, Brussels. The agenda includes amendments to recovery and resilience plan assessments for six Member States and a presentation of the Irish Presidency's ECOFIN priorities.
The Irish Presidency will present its programme in the ECOFIN domain as an information item. The Commission will then introduce proposals for Council Implementing Decisions amending the 28 July 2021 assessments of recovery and resilience plans for Lithuania (ST 10676/26 + ADD 1–2), Cyprus (ST 10854/26 + ADD 1–2), Luxembourg (ST 10852/26 + ADD 1–2), the Netherlands (ST 10850/26 + ADD 1–2), Slovenia (ST 10844/26 + ADD 1–2), and Finland (ST 10837/26 + ADD 1). Each proposal will be followed by an exchange of views among delegates. Any other business will conclude the meeting.
The meeting format is 1+2 for delegates and 2+2 for the Presidency. Delegates must register via the delegates portal; documents are available there or from room attendants. The session advances technical amendments to national recovery plans under the Recovery and Resilience Facility, with the Commission leading each proposal. No prior coverage of this specific meeting exists in the available record.
The amendments could adjust disbursement timelines and reform milestones for the six Member States, affecting their national budgets and reform agendas. EU taxpayers may see changes in the pace of fund absorption. The Irish Presidency's ECOFIN priorities will signal the Council's legislative direction for the second half of 2026, influencing financial services and fiscal policy stakeholders across the EU. The Commission's role as proposer reinforces its central position in RRF governance.
