Highlights the importance of the new EU investment instrument, the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), and emphasises that it should be complementary and additional to the ESI Funds; points out that the EFSI is not clearly linked to the Europe 2020 strategy, but that through its objectives it contributes to the implementation of the strategy, in specific areas; stresses, moreover, the imperative of ensuring full coherence and synergies between all EU instruments, in order to avoid overlapping or contradictions among them or between the different levels of policy implementation; appreciateconsequently demands that the review of the Europe 2020 strategy, reconfirms it as the EU's long-term strategic framework for growth and jobs, must and addresses this challenge of coordinating policy instruments, including EFSI, with a view to using all the available resources effectively and achieving the expected results as regards the overarching strategic goals;
