Recital 44

(44) Recent geopolitical events have considerably affected prices of energy, food and construction materials and have also caused shortages in the global supply chains, resulted in increased inflation and generated new challenges, including a risk of energy poverty and higher costs of living. A response to those challenges might be required. It could be that those developments have a direct impact on the capacity to implement the measures in recovery and resilience plans. To the extent that Member States can demonstrate that such developments make a specific milestone or target no longer achievable, either totally or partially, such situations could be invoked as objective circumstances under Regulation (EU) 2021/241. Moreover, to the extent that Member States can demonstrate that the achievement of a specific milestone or target conflicts with the achievement of the REPowerEU objectives, such situations could also be invoked as objective circumstances under that Regulation. In addition, no request for amendments should undermine the overall implementation of recovery and resilience plans, including the reform and investment efforts of the Member States.
