The European Fund for Strategic Investment: Questions and Answers
January 13, 2015--1.What did the Commission propose today, what are the elements of the proposal?
The European Commission adopted the legislative proposal to put in place the European Fund for Strategic Investments, which is at the very heart of President Juncker's €315 billion Investment Offensive.
The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) will mobilise additional investments in the real economy in areas including infrastructure, education, research, innovation, renewable energy and energy efficiency. It will also focus on SMEs and mid-cap companies (companies with between 250 and 3000 employees). The EFSI should target projects that promote job-creation, long-term growth and competitiveness. The proposal also sets up a European Investment Advisory Hub (EIAH) to provide advisory support to project identification, preparation and development across the Union. Finally, a European Investment Project Pipeline will improve investors' knowledge of existing and potential future projects, with no guarantee that these projects will be financed by the EFSI.
2. What are the next steps?
2.1 Establishing the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the European Investment Advisory Hub (EIAH) and the transparent pipeline of projects.
Council negotiations are expected to kick-off on 19 January 2015 in an ad-hoc Working Group established for the Investment Plan for Europe. Work in the European Parliament is also expected to start shortly. It is expected that the co-legislators agree on the text by June so that the EFSI can be operational by mid-2015.
