Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency, has pushed for it, and Jean-Claude Juncker, the president-elect of the European Commission, has called it his “first priority.” His goal for the next three years is to mobilize an additional €100 billion ($134 billion) per year (0.75% of GDP) for public and private investment.
在这样的背景下，一个新的政策目标浮现出来：投资。欧盟现任轮值主席、意大利总理伦齐强调投资的重要性，欧盟委员会当选主席容克称之为“首要任务”。他的目标是，未来三年每年新增1,000亿欧元（相当于GDP的0.75%）用于公共和私人投资。
