Recital 1
(1) The economic and financial crisis has led to a lowering of the level of investments within the Union. Investment has fallen by approximately 15% since its peak in 2007. The Union suffers in particular from a lack of investment as a consequence of market uncertainty regarding the economic future and the fiscal constraints on Member States. This lack of investment slows economic recovery and negatively affects job creation, long-term growth prospects and competitivenessinternal and external competitiveness. Investment is a crucial component that will not only stimulate rapid economic and social recovery from the crisis, but also stimulate the creation of more and better jobs across the EU.

Recital 10
(10) The purpose of the EFSI should be to help resolve the difficulties in financing and implementing productive investments in the Union, to overcome the current investments gap among Member States and to ensure increased access to financing. It is intended that increased access to financing should be of particular benefit to small and medium enterprises, notably innovative companies and start-ups. It is also appropriate to extend the benefit of such increased access to financing to mid- cap companies, which are companies having up to 3000 employees. Overcoming Europe's current investment difficulties should contribute to strengthening the Union's internal and external competitiveness, innovation potential, and economic, social and territorial cohesion.
