Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation
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 Uunion suffers in particular from a lack of private investment as a consequence of market uncertainty regarding the economic future and the fiscal cons that could contribute to competitiveness and new jobs. The fall of investments is due to instable public finances, increased debt burdens and high interest rates resulting in low growth and market uncertainty regarding the economic future. Stabilized public finances have, where this has been achieved, given lower interest raints on Member States. This lack of investment slows economic recovery and negatively affects job creation, long-term growth ptes and a slow but not sufficient rice of investments. There is a need to increase the attractiveness to invest in European business, in new companies as well as established and growing industries and the infrastructure of a modern knowledge economy. Investments in research, science and development are essential in order to improve Eurospects and competitiveness.

(2) Comprehensive action is required to reverse the vicious circle created by a lack of investment. Structural reforms and fiscal responsibility are necessary preconditions for stimulatingIn order to improve European competitiveness and to facilitate the market certainty needed, stable public finances and structural reforms are preconditions for investments in Europe coming back to the levels where they should be. There is a need to get rid of regulations hindering or delaying investments, to open up the internal market for investments and to safeguard that financial markets and European banks can provide liquidity, market making and loans to finance the investments needed. Along with a renewed impetus towards investment financing, these preconditions can contribute to establishing a virtuous circle, where investment projects help support employment and demand and lead to a sustained increase in growth potential.

(8a) The financing of the EFSI should not undermine the Union's research, science and development, neither on EU nor on national levels. The aim should be to use money in the EU budget that today has no or little leverage for attracting private investments and small effects for increased competitiveness and new innovations needed to create a European leadership.

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 private 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 contributing to competitiveness and new jobs. The fall of investment is due to market uncertainty regarding the economic future as a result of weak public finances, high public debt and structural imbalances. Where public finances have been stabilized and where structural reforms have been carried out, economic growth has picked up and investment levels have risen, although not sufficiently. There is a need to strengthen the attractiveness to invest in Europe and in the infrastructure of a modern knowledge economy. Investments in science, research and development are essential in order to improve Europeand competitiveness.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14) The EFSI should target projects delivering high societal and economic value with a good probability for return on investments, in order to ensure sustainability and ensure that EU funding is used for guarantees and not to cover for losses. In particular, the EFSI should target projects that promote job creation, long- term growth and competitiveness. The EFSI should support a wide range of financial products, including equity, debt or guarantees, to best accommodate the needs of the individual project. This wide range of products should allow the EFSI to adapt to market needs whilst encouraging private investment in the projects. The EFSI should not be a substitute for private market finance but should instead catalyse private finance by addressing market failures so as to ensure the most effective and strategic use of public money. The requirement for consistency with State aid principles should contribute to such effective and strategic use.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
(8) The EFSI is part of a comprehensive approach to address uncertainty surrounding public and private investments. The strategy has three pillars: mobilising finance for investment, making investment reach the real economy and improving the investment environment in the Union. It must be seen as a complement to all other actions needed and – by acting as a guarantee fund - as a stimuli for new investments.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The purpose of the EFSI should be to help resolve the difficulties in financing and implementing productive investments in the Union 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. A precondition for this to be achieved is that investments are made on a commercial basis, thereby generating more capital and attracting still more investments. 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 economic, social and territorial cohesion.

Third parties may contribute directly to the EFSI and take part in the EFSI governance structure.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) Many small and medium enterprises, as well as mid-cap companies, across the Union require assistance to attract market financing, especially as regards investments that carry a greater degree of risk. The EFSI should help these businesses to overcome capital shortages by allowing the EIB and the European Investment Fund ('EIF') to provide direct and indirect equity injections, as well as to provide guarantees for high-quality securitisation of loans, and other products that are granted in pursuit of the aims of the EFSI. The EFSI should be a complement to regular credit institutions, not replacing them but facilitate more of their lending in to the economy.

In particular, the EFSI should target projects that promote job creation, long- term growth and competitiveness. It is important that its decisions are based upon commercial and market oriented assessments and priorities. The EFSI should support a wide range of financial products, including equity, debt or guarantees, to best accommodate the needs of the individual project. This wide range of products should allow the EFSI to adapt to market needs whilst encouraging private investment in the projects. The EFSI should not be a substitute for private market finance but should instead catalyse private finance by addressing market failures so as to ensure the most effective and strategic use of public money. The requirement for consistency with State aid principles should contribute to such effective and strategic use. It must not distort investments decisions by guaranteeing or subsidising investments of projects of little commercial value to the disadvantage of investment with higher commercial value promising a high return on investment and economic sustainability.

(21) Provided that all relevant eligibility criteria are fulfilled, Member States may use European Structural Investment Funds to contribute to the financing of eligible projects that are supported by the EU guarantee.

Amendment 404 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
(22) In accordance with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Infrastructure and project investments supported under EFSI should be consistent with State aid rules. To that end, the Commission has announced that it will formulate a set of core principles, for the purpose of State aid assessments, which a project will have to meet to be eligible for support under the EFSI. If a project meets these criteria and receives support from the EFSI, the Commission has announced that any national complementary support, will be assessed under a simplified and accelerated State aid assessment, provided it does not distort competition to the disadvantage of private investments, whereby the only additional issue to be verified by the Commission will be the proportionality of public support (absence of overcompensation). The Commission has also announced that it will provide further guidance on the set of core principles with a view to ensuring an efficient use of public funds.
