Regions push for better access to Juncker Plan

The European Investment Bank is trying to cool local governments' scepticism over the Juncker Plan, an investment strategy that EU officials hope will pump €315 billion into infrastructure projects around the EU by 2017.

Representatives of local governments from across Europe banded together at a Committee of the Regions meeting at the European Investment Bank (EIB) yesterday (1 September) to parse out the new investment programme.
