Recital 3 a (new)
(3 a) The European Court of Auditors on its Special Reports n. 19/2016 and n. 5/2015 came to the conclusion that the Union financial instruments, EFSI included, under shared management were overcapitalised, struggled to control cost/fees, attract private capital and re-use financial support; furthermore, according to European Court of Auditors and on the basis of the EIB provided data and estimates, the current guarantee is sufficient for a further period of operation of the IIW, recommending instead to the sole consideration of an increase of the EU guarantee for the SMEW, as this would reduce the fragmentation between EFSI and other financial instruments.
