European long-term investment funds (ELTIFs) invest on a long-term basis in infrastructure projects, real estate, and small and medium-sized enterprises, among other things. While the legislative framework – the ELTIF Regulation – for these funds was adopted six years ago, their market remains small. For this reason, the Commission has proposed amending the ELTIF Regulation to make it more appealing to investors. The key mulled changes involve differentiating between ELTIFs marketed to professional ...

While business tax incentives are used widely, concerns have been raised in recent years regarding their effectiveness, their impact on public finances and whether they could potentially distort the EU single market.

Das Programm „InvestEU“ ist ein zentraler Unterstützungsmechanismus für den Zeitraum 2021–2027, mit dem mehrere Finanzierungsinstrumente der EU für interne Politikbereiche, die zuvor durch verschiedene Fonds des EU-Haushalts gefördert wurden, gestrafft werden.

There is therefore a need to provide for an extended EU investment programme under the new multiannual financial framework (MFF), which caters for multiple objectives in terms of simplification, flexibility, synergies and coherence across relevant EU policies. The InvestEU ...

Europe's population is ageing, due to people living longer and having fewer children, putting pressure on pension systems and leading to reforms to make public pensions more sustainable – and often less generous – in future. To support retirement incomes, the European Commission's 2012 pensions white paper called for more opportunities for citizens to save in safe and good-value complementary pensions. The aim of the proposed framework for a pan-European personal pension product (PEPP) was to encourage ...

Moreover it considers the question of PEPP taxation and the impact of costs on final pensions. The analysis concludes by identifying ...
