Briefing on the new European Fund for Strategic Investment

The new European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI) should be operational this summer. During a lunchtime briefing on 7 July 2015, 13:00-14:30, representatives of the European Commission's DG for Economic and Financial Affairs and of the EIB will present the potential of the EFSI for regional and local stakeholders while addressing these questions:

• How will the EFSI be implemented and how can regions and cities benefit from it?
• How will the EFSI relate to other EU funding mechanisms with a strong regional impact, such as the European Structural and Investment Funds?
• To what extent does the final EFSI regulation respond to the needs and concerns of Europe's regional and local leaders?

The briefing will be web streamed live.
