At a high-level conference in Brussels, business leaders and policy-makers strongly supported the creation of a Connecting Europe Facility as proposed by the European Commission for the European Union's new financing period 2014-2020.
|
In occasione di una conferenza di alto livello svoltasi a Bruxelles, i dirigenti di grandi imprese e i decisori politici hanno espresso il loro pieno sostegno alla creazione di un “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa”, come proposto dalla Commissione europea per il nuovo periodo di finanziamento 2014-2020 dell’Unione europea.
|

With up to 50 billion euros the Connecting Europe Facility could become a key instrument for targeted infrastructure investment at European level to ensure the smooth functioning of the Single Market and boost sustainable growth, jobs and competitiveness across the European Union.
|
Con una dotazione che può arrivare a 50 miliardi di euro il “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa” potrebbe diventare uno strumento essenziale per investimenti mirati a favore di infrastrutture a livello europeo al fine di garantire l’adeguato funzionamento del mercato unico e promuovere una crescita sostenibile, la creazione di posti di lavoro e la competitività in tutta l’Unione europea.

"We need an ambitious Connecting Europe Facility to invest in Europe's future growth and boost job creation.
|
“Abbiamo bisogno di un “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa” ambizioso per poter investire nella crescita europea di domani e stimolare la creazione di posti lavoro.
|
6 |
Too often, citizens and businesses are blocked by incomplete, inefficient or simply non-existent infrastructure networks.
|
In effetti i cittadini e le imprese troppo spesso sono bloccati nella realizzazione dei loro progetti perché le reti europee sono incomplete, inefficaci o semplicemente inesistenti.
|
7 |
The 'Connecting Europe Facility' provides a European solution to a European problem with its focus on strategic infrastructure, its innovative character and its true European added value.
|
Il “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa” apporta una soluzione europea ad un problema europeo, incentrandosi sulle infrastrutture strategiche, sul carattere innovativo e su un vero e proprio valore aggiunto europeo.
|
8 |
This has been widely recognised at today's conference and I am confident that this message will also be heard in the capitals of our Member States."
|
Questa dimensione è stata ampiamente riconosciuta nell’ambito dell’odierna conferenza e sono convinto che questo messaggio sarà ascoltato anche nelle capitali dei nostri Stati membri.
|
9 |
During the event speakers and participants appreciated the innovative character and important added value that the Connecting Europe Facility would provide.
|
In occasione della conferenza, gli oratori e i partecipanti hanno apprezzato il carattere innovativo e l’importante valore aggiunto che il “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa” offrirebbe.
|
10 |
The Connecting Europe Facility would help getting strategic infrastructure off the ground that helps "Europe to compete and to grow" in a globalised world, in line with the Europe 2020 strategy and the recently agreed Compact for Growth.
|
Tale meccanismo contribuirebbe a lanciare infrastrutture strategiche che consentirebbero all’”Europa di competere e di crescere” in un mondo globalizzato, conformemente alla strategia Europa 2020 e al patto per la crescita recentemente adottato.
|
11 |
Without it, participants agreed, many necessary infrastructure investments in transport, energy and internet in the EU would not happen if dealt with purely at national level.
|
I partecipanti hanno riconosciuto che, in assenza di uno strumento di questo tipo, molti investimenti necessari nelle infrastrutture dei trasporti, dell’energia e di Internet nell’UE non potrebbero essere realizzati a livello puramente nazionale.
|
12 |
This is particularly true in the on-going crisis, which hampers for example bank lending for infrastructure investment.
|
Ciò è ancora più vero nel contesto della crisi attuale che rende particolarmente difficile l’ottenimento di prestiti bancari a favore di investimenti nel settore delle infrastrutture.
|
13 |
Most participants expect significant private investments thanks to innovative financial instruments linked to the Connecting Europe Facility, like project bonds, and the longer term orientations and planning security it provides.
|
La maggior parte dei partecipanti si aspetta notevoli investimenti privati grazie agli strumenti finanziari innovativi connessi al “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa”, quali le obbligazioni per il finanziamento di progetti (project bond)agli orientamenti a più lungo termine e alla sicurezza per la pianificazione che il suddetto strumento offre.
|
14 |
Many pointed to existing infrastructure projects supported through the EU that clearly demonstrate the benefits and added value of EU-level infrastructure investment like for example the recently inaugurated electricity connection between Ireland and the United Kingdom or compressors enabling reverse gas flows in central and Eastern European Member States.
|
Molti hanno fatto riferimento ai progetti infrastrutturali esistenti che hanno beneficiato del sostegno finanziario dell’UE e che dimostrano chiaramente i vantaggi e il valore aggiunto degli investimenti in infrastrutture realizzati a livello UE come ad esempio il collegamento, recentemente inaugurato, fra l’Irlanda e il Regno Unito oppure i compressori che rendono possibile l’inversione dei flussi di gas negli Stati membri d’Europa centrale ed orientale.
|
15 |
High-performing, sustainable and efficiently interconnected trans-European networks were deemed essential for the full functioning of the EU's Single Market and the shift to a more sustainable low-carbon economy.
|
Delle reti transeuropee ad alte prestazioni, sostenibili e interconnesse in modo efficiente sono considerate essenziali per il pieno funzionamento del mercato unico europeo e il passaggio ad un’economia a basse emissioni di carbonio più sostenibile.
|
16 |
Some participants also emphasised the complementarity of the EU's cohesion policy with the Connecting Europe Facility, while emphasising the importance of cohesion policy for enhanced competitiveness of the entire European Union.
|
Alcuni partecipanti hanno evidenziato inoltre la complementarità della politica UE di coesione con il “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa” sottolineando al tempo stesso l’importanza della politica di coesione ai fini del potenziamento della competitività dell’intera Unione europea.
|
17 |
Participants agreed that the Connecting Europe Facility is a concrete expression of a new thinking and partnership that will benefit Europeans across all Member States, citizens and businesses alike.
|
I partecipanti hanno riconosciuto che il “meccanismo per collegare l’Europa” è un’espressione concreta di un nuovo modo di pensare nonché di una collaborazione da cui trarranno vantaggio gli europei di tutti gli Stati membri, sia cittadini che imprese.
|
18 |
As better interconnections would make work and travel easier, enhance competitiveness, business opportunities and energy security and make Europe's economy greener.
|
In quanto il miglioramento dei collegamenti consente di viaggiare e lavorare più agevolmente e potenzia la competitività, le opportunità commerciali e la sicurezza energetica, rendendo l’economia europea più verde.
|
19 |
Many expressed the wish that the overall strong support for the Connecting Europe Facility coming from this high-level event could mobilise other important stakeholders and decision-makers and positively influence the course of negotiations in the run-up to the extraordinary European Council of 22-23 November 2012 dedicated to the Multiannual Financial Framework.
|
Numerosi sono coloro che hanno espresso l’auspicio che il deciso sostegno generale al meccanismo per collegare l’Europa che è emerso nel corso di questo evento di alto livello possa mobilitare altri importanti portatori di interesse e decisori e influenzare positivamente i negoziati in vista del Consiglio europeo straordinario del 22-23 novembre 2012 dedicato al Quadro finanziario pluriennale.
