AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The report strengthens calls for risk-based controls, transparency, and safeguards in performance-based instruments, addressing weaknesses in the RRF model. It adds new concerns about debt, rule of law, and audit independence, and expands demands for public dashboards and AI tools. It clarifies that assessments must be done by the Commission and adds requirements for verifiable data and real-time access for authorities. It introduces a mechanism for recoveries when costs deviate and stresses the need for ex post evaluation and unified accountability. The other changes are formal: renumbering of paragraphs and minor wording adjustments.
