Conferința Renew Europe: Abordarea Strategică privind Marea Neagră

The increased efficiency of the External Action Guarantee (EAG) is a very important proposal. The instrument, particularly the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+), stands as the Union’s largest risk-sharing mechanism, vital for supporting priority investments outside the Union and delivering on the strategic Global Gateway objectives. The efficiency gains allow us to reinforce EU external action priorities at a time when resources are scarce. The geopolitical context makes maximizing this new capacity urgent. As the Commission proposal correctly identifies, enlargement must be seen as a geopolitical imperative, and the EAG should contribute directly to economic convergence for enlargement countries.
