This is NextGenerationEU. This is more than a recovery plan. It is a once in a lifetime chance to emerge stronger from the pandemic, transform our economies, create opportunities and jobs for the Europe where we want to live. We have everything to make this happen.
The rest of the funds from NextGenerationEU are being disbursed to EU Member States by several EU programmes: the Recovery Assistance for Cohesion and the Territories of Europe (REACT-EU), Horizon Europe, InvestEU, European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development or the Just Transition Fund (JTF).
The EU budget is not and has never been about giving and taking. All Member States benefit from being part of the single market, addressing together the common challenges. EU funds, for instance under the cohesion funds or Horizon Europe, go to all corners of the EU.
In the interinstitutional agreement from December 2021, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed to work towards introducing sufficient new own resources to cover the repayments of NextGenerationEU.
In December 2021, the Commission thus proposed three new sources of revenue to the EU budget, to help repay the grants part of NextGenerationEU. This proposal would also contribute to the financing of the Social Climate Fund, aimed to make sure the transition to a decarbonised economy leaves no one behind.
On 20 June 2023, the Commission completed its proposal for a next generation of own resources. The final package includes a new temporary statistical own resource based on company profits. Following the political agreement on the Fit For 55 package, which seeks to make sure EU policies contribute to the climate neutrality of our continent, the Commission has also adjusted the own resources proposals based on the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) compared to the original proposals from December 2021.
On 27 May 2020, in response to the unprecedented crisis caused by the coronavirus, the European Commission proposed the temporary recovery instrument NextGenerationEU, as well as targeted reinforcements to the long-term EU budget for 2021-2027.
Recovery is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential. Even people with severe and chronic substance use disorders can, with help, overcome their illness and regain health and social function. This is called remission. Being in recovery is when those positive changes and values become part of a voluntarily adopted lifestyle. While many people in recovery believe that abstinence from all substance use is a cardinal feature of a recovery lifestyle, others report that handling negative feelings without using substances and living a contributive life are more important parts of their recovery.
Drugs & the Brain Wallet Card: This tool is designed for patients leaving treatment and transitioning back to a less structured environment. To prepare these individuals to return to their home environment, counselors can customize this tool to help them identify triggers that could prompt a drug relapse. It also includes information about resources and helplines. These discreet cards can be kept in a wallet, pocket, purse, or cell phone case for easy access. The wallet cards can be downloaded here:
The Science of Drug Use - Discussion Points: This resource is intended to give counselors and others who work with patients within structured or criminal justice settings language they can use to explain the risks of drug use, as well as resources that can aid in recovery. The document can be used as a guide when offering the patient the wallet card when he or she is leaving the treatment facility.
National Recovery Month is a national observance that is held every September to educate Americans that substance use disorder treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives. The National Recovery Month webpage provides a host of resources that can be used to help promote the observance.
SAMHSA's working definition of recovery defines recovery as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential. Recovery signals a dramatic shift in the expectation for positive outcomes for individuals who experience mental and substance use conditions or the co-occurring of the two.
SAMHSA's mission is to lead public health and service delivery efforts that promote mental health, prevent substance misuse, and provide treatments and supports to foster recovery while ensuring equitable access and better outcomes.
Recovery Courts handle chemically dependent individuals in adult criminal court, juvenile, and abuse, neglect and dependency cases. Recovery Courts also serve veterans and people with mental health issues who find themselves in court. The program offers individualized treatment plans which include counseling, supervision, drug testing, sanctions, and incentives for meeting recovery goals.
As a follow-up to the CrowdStrike Falcon agent issue impacting Windows clients and servers, Microsoft has released an updated recovery tool with two repair options to help IT admins expedite the repair process. The signed Microsoft Recovery Tool can be found in the Microsoft Download Center: =2280386. In this post, we include detailed recovery steps for Windows client, servers, and OS's hosted on Hyper-V. The two repair options are as follows:
Recover from WinPE (recommended option)
This option quickly and directly recovers systems and does not require local admin privileges. However, you may need to manually enter the BitLocker recovery key (if BitLocker is used on the device) and then repair impacted systems. If you use a third-party disk encryption solution, please refer to vendor guidance to determine options to recover the drive so that the remediation script can be run from WinPE.
Recover from safe mode
This option may enable recovery on BitLocker-enabled devices without requiring the entry of BitLocker recovery keys. For this option, you must have access to an account with local administrator rights on the device. Use this approach for devices using TPM-only protectors, devices that are not encrypted, or situations where the BitLocker recovery key is unknown. However, if utilizing TPM+PIN BitLocker protectors, the user will either need to enter the PIN if known, or the BitLocker recovery key must be used. If BitLocker is not enabled, then the user will only need to sign in with an account with local administrator rights. If third-party disk encryption solutions are utilized, please work with those vendors to determine options to recover the drive so the remediation script can be run.
Additional considerations
Although the USB option is preferred, some devices may not support USB connections. In such cases, we provide detailed steps below for using the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) option. If the device cannot connect to a PXE network and USB is not an option, reimaging the device might be a solution.
Prerequisites for using the boot media
The BitLocker recovery key for each BitLocker-enabled impacted device on which the recover media is used may be required. If you are using TPM-only protectors and using the safe boot option, then the recovery key will not be required. If you are using TPM+PIN protectors, then you may need the recovery key if you do not know the PIN for the device.
Using recovery media on Hyper-V virtual machines
The recovery media can be used to remediate impacted Hyper-V virtual machines. To do so, select the option to generate an ISO when creating the recovery media using the steps above. For non-Hyper-V virtual machines, follow instructions provided by your hypervisor vendor to utilize the recovery media.
Using PXE for Recovery
For most customers, the options listed above or following the steps in the KBs linked towards the end of this post will help restore your devices. However, if devices are unable to use the option to recover from USB, for example, because of security policies or port availability, IT admins can use PXE to remediate.
To use this solution, you can use the Windows Imaging Format (WIM) that the Microsoft Recovery Tool creates in an existing PXE environment as long as the impacted devices are on the same subnet as the PXE server. Alternatively, you can either use the PXE server approach outline below. This option works best when the PXE server can be moved subnet to subnet easily for remediation purposes.
Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are protected under the Endangered Species Act. In this recovery plan, we have identified recovery units for the Northwest Atlantic loggerhead population. Establishing recovery units is a useful tool for species occurring across wide ranges with multiple populations, varying ecological pressures, or different threats in different parts of their range. By using this approach, we were able to set recovery goals for each unit and will be able to measure their contribution toward recovery of the Northwest Atlantic loggerhead population.
This plan addresses each of the potential threats based on our current knowledge. In addition to examining threats, this plan provides background information on CI beluga life history, status, and existing protective measures. Furthermore, this plan identifies a strategy, goals, criteria, and actions targeted at recovering the species. Priorities and estimated costs for the recovery actions are provided in an implementation schedule.
Recovery plans identify actions needed to restore threatened and endangered species to the point that they are again self-sustaining elements of their ecosystems and no longer need protection under the Endangered Species Act. Although recovery plans are not regulatory documents, they serve as a central organizing tool for guiding and coordinating recovery efforts across a wide spectrum of federal, state, tribal, local, and private entities.
