(21) Provided that all relevant eligibility criteria are fulfilled, Member States may use European Structural Investment Funds to contribute to the financing of eligible projects that are supported by the EU guarantee. Use should also be made of the CAP policy instruments, and in particular Pillar 2 measures, which if used effectively can deliver added value and jobs in many parts of the European Union.
