I have not seen the list of 70 projects. I presume many of the projects listed are infrastructural projects. Mr. Juncker referred in his speech to a school in Thessalonika in Greece and other grand projects in the public services area that could now be properly funded as a result of this. I presume the projects about which we are now speaking are projects that previously would have been paid for by the State or through public-private partnerships. How do the private investors get a return?

To take the example of a school building project, the money presumably comes directly from the taxpayer. How does this work when a project is not generating revenue? Where is the return for private investors?
