(1) The economic and financial crisis has led to a lowering of the level of investments within the Union. Investment has fallen by approximately 15% since its peak in 2007. The Union suffers in particular from a lack of investment as a consequence of market uncertainty regarding the economic future and the fiscal constraints on Member States. This lack of investment slows economic recovery and negatively affects job creation, long-term growth prospects and competitivenessinternal and external competitiveness. Investment is a crucial component that will not only stimulate rapid economic and social recovery from the crisis, but also stimulate the creation of more and better jobs across the EU.
