But the comparison is misleading, because 2007 was the peak of a credit bubble that led to a lot of wasteful investment. The Commission recognizes this in its supporting documentation for the Juncker package, in which it argues that the pre-credit-boom years should be used as the benchmark for desirable investment levels today.
但这一比较具有误导作用，因为2007年时信用泡沫顶峰之年，这一信用泡沫导致了大量浪费投资。欧盟委员会在其支持容克的辅助文件中承认了这一点，并认为应该用信用繁荣前的年份作为当今合意投资水平的基准。根据这一标准，投资缺口只有原来的一半。
