(4) The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 changed the economic and budgetary outlook for the years to come in the Union and in the world, calling for an urgent and coordinated response from the Union in order to cope with the enormous economic and social consequences for all Member States and very differentiated territorial impact within Member States. The challenges linked to the demographic context have been amplified by COVID- 19. The current COVID-19 pandemic as well as the previous economic and financial crisis have shown that developing sound and resilient economies and financial and social welfare systems built on strong economic and social structures helps Member States to respond more efficiently to shocks and recover more swiftly from them. The medium and long- term consequences of the COVID-19 crisis will critically depend on how quickly Member States’ economies and societies will recover from the crisis, which in turn depends on the fiscal spacemeasures that Member States have available to take measures to mitigate the social and economic impact of the crisis, and on the resilience of their economies and social structures. Reforms and investments to address structural weaknesses of the economies and strengthen their resiliencesocial and economic resilience, understood as the ability to tackle economic shock and achieve long term structural changes in a fair and inclusive way to strengthen quality of life and wellbeing for all, will therefore be essential to set the economies back on a sustainable recovery path and avoid further widening ofreduce the divergences in the Union. (This amendment replaces “resilience” by “social and economic resilience” throughout the whole text.)

(5) The implementation of reforms and investments contributing to achievebuild a high degree of resilience of deconomiestic economies, strengthening adjustment capacity and unlocking growth potential are among the Union’s policy priorities and societies and social progress, strengthening social structures and adjustment capacity and enhancing sustainable and inclusive growth potential are among the Union’s policy priorities and notably Article 3(3) of the Treaty on the European Union. Article 3(1) of the Treaty of the European Union underlines that the “well-being” of EU’s people is the aim of the EU. All reforms and investments supported by the Recovery and Resilience Facility should aim at improving in the short, medium and long term people’s quality of life. They are therefore crucial to set the recovery on a sustainable path and support the process of upward economic and social convergence. This is even more necessary in the aftermath of the pandemic crisis to pave the way for a swift recovery.

(6) Past experiences have shown that investment is often drastically cut during crises. However, it is essential to support investment in this particular situation to speed up the recovery and strengthen long- term sustainable growth potential. Investing in green and digital technologies, capacities and processes aimed at assisting clean energy for the benefit of an improved quality of life for all. Such investments will also make the EU less dependent by diversifying key supply chains. Investing in green transition, digital transiformation, boosting energy efficiency in housing and other key sectors of the economeconomic, social and territorial cohesion, institutional resilience and measures towards the next generation of Europeans are policy arections important to achieve sustainable growth and help create jobs. It will also help make the Union more resilient and less dependent by diversifying key supply chainsthe common objectives of EU and its Member States and make the Union more resilient.

(8) Against this background, it is necessary to strengthen the current framework for the provision of support to Member States and provide direct financial support to Member States through an innovative tool.
