(2) Whilst important actiThe impact of the financial crisis ons to counterbalance the negative effects of the crisis have already been taken, including amendments of the legislative framework, the impact of the financial crisis on the real economy, the labour market and citizens is being widely felhe real economy, the labour market and citizens is being widely felt. A new strategy is needed to secure an adequate level of resources with particular emphasis on the programs and projects aimed at boosting growth and decent employment, eradicating poverty, investing in smart, sustainable green development. It is fundamental to increase support to Member States, especially those already facing economic recession, for investment in infrastructure, social facilities, research, innovation and development. Pressure on national financial resources is increasing and further steps should be taken to alleviate that pressure through the maximum and optimal use of the funding from the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund. In view of the persisting financial difficulties, it is necessary to extend the application of the measures adopted by amending Regulation (EU) No 1311/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council. These measures were adopted pursuant to to Articles 122(2), 136 and 143 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
