This briefing aims to explain the ‘do no significant harm’ principle and how it has been used in the Recovery and Resilience Facility. It also raises concerns over the long-term risks and implications of applying the ‘do no significant harm’ principle in its current form to EU public funds. The briefing serves as a resource to better understand this principle and its impacts.
