(12) At Union level, the European Semester of economic policy coordination is the framework to identify national reform priorities and monitor their implementation. Member States develop their own national multiannual investment strategies in support of these reform priorities. These strategies should be presented alongside the yearly National Reform Programmes as a way to outline and coordinate priority investment projects to be supported by national and Union funding. They should also serve to use Union funding in a coherent manner, to phase-out environmentally harmful subsidies and to maximise the added value of the financial support to be received notably from the Funds, the European Investment Stabilisation Function and InvestEU.

The Union should ensure that support from the LIFE programme is consistent with the policies and priorities of the Union and complementary to other financial instruments of the Union, while also ensuring that simplification measures are implemented.
