Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Stresses the importance of continuing the independent evaluation on whose results future decisions on extending, amending or eliminating EFSI will be based; considers it important to explore options for the further redistribution of the EU guarantee, given that current EIB figures show that the present guarantee is sufficient for continuing operations under the infrastructure and innovation window; considers, moreover, that it is important, in the upcoming period, to test the performance and added value of EFSI, since this could reduce fragmentation and overlapping with other financial instruments;

29. Acknowledges that GDP and the number of projects approved are linked; recognises that larger Member States are able to take advantage of more developed capital markets and are therefore more likely to benefit from a market-driven instrument such as EFSI; underlines that lower EFSI support in EU-13newer member states may be attributable to other factors, such as the small size of projects, and competition from the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF); observes with concern, however, the disproportionate benefit to certain countries and underlines the need to diversify geographical distribution further, especially in crucial sectors such as modernising and improving the productivity and sustainability of economies;
