Amendment 219 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21
(21) The European Investment Advisory Hub (EIAH) should be enhanced and its activities should focuaddress any shortcomings oin needs not covered adequately under current arrangementhe implementation of the EFSI. It should play an instrumental role in empowering project promoters to initiate and develop viable, sustainable and quality projects. It should pay particular attention to supporting the preparation of projects involving two or more Member States or regions, and projects that contribute to achieving the objectives of COP21. Notwithstanding its objective to build upon existing advisory services of the EIB and the Commission, so to act as a single technical advisory hub for project financing within the Union, tThe EIAH should also contribute actively to achieving the objective of sectorial and geographical diversification of the EFSI and proactively supporting the EIB where needand other actors involved in originating projects and launching operations, as well as in initiating demand, where needed. It should also actively contribute to the establishment of investment platforms and provide advice on the combination ofing other sources of Union funding with the EFSIEU funding with the EFSI. It is considered necessary for the EIAH to establish a strong local presence, where needed, to leverage local knowledge about the EFSI and give better consideration to local needs. The EIAH should aim to conclude agreements with national development banks or institutions in each Member State. To achieve those objectives, the staff capacity of the EIAH should be commensurate to the tasks that it is called upon to undertake.
