Berlin applies for money from reconstruction fund for the first time

Following the lead of most other member states, Germany has now also submitted an initial application for payment to receive money from the Next Generation EU reconstruction fund. This comprises almost €4 billion in grants from the Reconstruction and Resilience Facility (ARF), the EU Commission announced. The funds will be used, among other things, for the charging infrastructure for electromobility, hydrogen research and the promotion of microelectronics.
