This time, Annette, together with Mathijs Bouman, economist, and Clara van de Wiel, NRC correspondent in Brussels, delves into the European economy, and specifically into the corona recovery fund. The fund made hundreds of billions available for economic recovery after corona. What has this hard-won support package achieved? And how has the recovery fund permanently changed the EU – even now that the corona crisis is behind us?
