EU Legislative Proposals: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Niamh Ní Bhriain:

I do not know anything else about mobilising private capital apart from what is in the White Paper on defence. They announced that they were going to release the €800 billion and they have gone through it in the different components. The one that they have dealt with in most detail is SAFE and that is now being activated. The regulations they are going to use to divert social cohesion funds came online on 18 September. They have not yet come as far as giving specifics on how they will mobilise private capital so I am not sure how it will take shape. I have not seen when it will be eventually rolled out.
