听听Die Pr盲sidentin. 鈥� Als n盲chster Punkt der Tagesordnung folgt die Aussprache 眉ber die Erkl盲rung der Kommission zur F枚rderung eines g眉nstigen Umfelds f眉r die Risikokapitalfinanzierung und sichere ausl盲ndische Direktinvestitionen in der EU [].

听听Mairead McGuinness, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam President, it's nice to see a little bit of celebration in the Chamber before I speak, so let's just give them a moment 鈥� well done! I'm afraid I'm not going to match the passion of the last debate.

Commissioner Dalli may say 'we're all Mediterranean' and they may be Mediterranean, but the Irish are quite passionate, I can say!

I suppose there's an air maybe, among the outgoing Commissioners 鈥� and I don't know whether it's freedom, relief or just joy 鈥� that we're happy to be in the Chamber this evening. I know it's for my last debate, on this really important topic which matters to everybody, citizens, small businesses and large companies. It fits very well 鈥� this debate 鈥� with the morning's activities in 合法博彩网站 and the voting in of the new Commission, so very timely, and I compliment colleagues who tabled this topic.

It's at the very heart of strengthening the European Union's competitiveness. Our start-ups and scale-ups in many sectors, from deep tech, clean tech or biotech, they're key drivers of innovation and growth and job creation in the European Union. And we know that these companies crucially need capital, including private capital, often originating beyond their home country, to allow them grow and expand.

So this issue of financing is core to securing a more competitive European Union. I can say that together we have already set the groundwork in place on creating better financing opportunities for businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to large companies, and I know that many who are taking part in this debate support the SME sector and focus on it. The incoming Commission, as we know, will deepen work in this area, and that was outlined by President von der Leyen in what will be a major collective effort to strengthen the EU's resilience and competitiveness in the years ahead.

The truth is that our companies face real difficulties in accessing the financing they need for growth. We face a significant funding gap for our innovative companies, particularly late-stage scale-ups, and as a result, EU scale-ups often seek capital and, in particular, equity capital from other countries, and are more likely to relocate. We all know companies in our own Member States that have taken the decision to leave the European Union and seek listings overseas. Now, this represents a missed opportunity for growth, for innovation and employment in the European Union, and it is an unwelcome trend, representing also a loss of EU competitiveness.

Now, we have made progress to improve the situation for smaller companies and their investors. We have made it easier for these companies to access EU stock markets through simplified listing rules under the EU Listing Act. We have streamlined the rules for long-term investments into alternative assets, including innovative companies and projects with the reform of our rules on European long-term investment funds. We are making information on listed companies and SMEs more easily available to investors through the European Single Access Point, and we continue to mobilise private capital through the InvestEU Programme.

Boosting the EU's venture and other risk capital is one of the main objectives of the Savings and Investment Union, announced by President von der Leyen in her political guidelines, building on the progress made on Capital Markets Union in my time as Commissioner, working with this 合法博彩网站 and the Council. The entire financing chain must be strengthened from early-stage companies to more mature ones, which necessitates a solid venture capital ecosystem and well-functioning and integrated capital markets.

The Commission's services are identifying the main challenges for venture capital financing, and the most frequently cited challenge is attracting capital from institutional investors. European institutional investors, insurers or pension funds do not invest in growth capital as much as their counterparts in the US, and there are several reasons for this, including a lack of well-capitalised pension funds or sovereign wealth funds in the European Union. There is also risk aversion, or a lack of familiarity with this more heterogeneous asset class, and certain requirements at national level. This could be partly addressed by mobilising private capital with the support of public programmes. The InvestEU Programme as well as initiatives like the European Tech Champions Initiative are important steps in this direction, but we need to do more to attract private sector investments to key EU policy areas.

The second challenge is insufficient scale of EU venture and growth capital funds. There are very few growth capital funds in the EU able to finance large financing operations, let me just be very clear. This again reinforces the dependence on non-EU capital for scale-ups, where around half of financing for large deals comes from outside the European Union. This was highlighted in the Commission communication on the EU Biotech Initiative. In line with the communication, we have just launched a study to explore the barriers to consolidation and scaling up investment funds, including venture capital and private equity funds, and this work will support the incoming college in formulating further policy directions.

Last but not least, this form of financing is hindered by the fragmentation of rules across the European Union from the perspective of companies and investors. Our investors face different national legal systems in some areas of corporate law, including different incorporation requirements for companies as well as securities law and taxation, and this lack of harmonisation results in significant additional costs and legal uncertainty. This really deters EU investors from engaging in what I prefer to say are 'investments in the single market' 鈥� but we often say 'cross-border'. And that's one problem: the mindset is still 'cross-border', in a single market. This is not how it should be, so I would appeal in this coming and fresh and new 合法博彩网站 to drop the words 'cross-border'. We need to talk 'single market', because these obstacles are also deterring foreign investors from investing in the European Union.

Now, a word about foreign investors. We have to ensure that the European Union becomes a more attractive investment destination, and that is both for EU and foreign investors. And we have to do that while safeguarding our economic security. There is an external dimension to our investment policy. Europe is and will remain open to foreign direct investment, and it is interesting that despite a global decline in FDI inflows, the EU-27 experienced an increase in net FDI inflows last year. Attracting and promoting foreign direct investments is vital for the Union's economic development.

Now, at the same time, this openness of the EU to foreign direct investments is not unconditional. The European Economic Security Strategy emphasises the need to balance economic openness with the protection of our economic security and open strategic autonomy, given the growing geopolitical risks. This includes taking a more assertive stance on security and public order risks arising from foreign direct investments that may negatively affect Europe. The FDI Screening Regulation provides a framework for the EU and the Member States to assess and, if necessary, address and mitigate these risks, and the Commission's legislative proposal, which will amend the FDI Screening Regulation, will strengthen that. I now look forward to hearing your contributions.

听听Marion Walsmann, im Namen der PPE-Fraktion. 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Europa steht vor der Herausforderung, ein attraktiver Standort f眉r Wagniskapital und sichere ausl盲ndische Direktinvestitionen zu bleiben. Das ist nicht nur eine Frage der Wettbewerbsf盲higkeit, sondern auch der Zukunftsf盲higkeit unseres Kontinents. Die Zahlen sprechen eine ern眉chternde Sprache. W盲hrend die USA und China massiv in Start-ups und disruptive Technologien investieren, bewegt sich Europa kleinschrittig fort und riskiert, Innovationspotenzial zu verlieren. Europa h盲lt aktuell nur 5听% der aufgelegten globalen Risikokapitalfonds und nur 6听% der weltweiten Finanzmittel f眉r KI鈥慛eugr眉ndungen.

Die Gr眉nde liegen auf der Hand. Wir haben es mit einer unzureichenden F枚rderung von Innovationen zu tun, die oft schon auf halbem Weg zur Kommerzialisierung ins Stocken geraten. Der Binnenmarkt bleibt durch Fragmentierung und b眉rokratische H眉rden geschw盲cht. Dies schreckt nat眉rlich Investoren ab, insbesondere in strategisch wichtigen Zukunftsbranchen. Dabei ver盲ndern wagniskapitalfinanzierte Unternehmen ganze Wirtschaftszweige und haben nicht zuletzt auch ausl盲ndische Direktinvestitionen in vielen Branchen angekurbelt. Bahnbrechende Ideen brauchen daher vor Ort das entsprechende finanzielle Backing. Wir brauchen in Europa dringend ein starkes, f眉r KMU zug盲nglicheres und b眉rokratie盲rmeres Finanzierungsumfeld.

Es ist entscheidend, dass wir eine st盲rkere politische Koordinierung bei strategischen Investitionen anstreben. Dazu geh枚rt auch, die Innovationsf枚rderung st盲rker zu harmonisieren und Finanzmittel gezielt auf Schl眉sselbereiche zu konzentrieren. Nur mit mutigen Reformen und einer besseren Koordinierung k枚nnen wir sicherstellen, dass Start-ups und Scale-ups nicht nur hier entstehen, sondern auch in Europa wachsen. Hier braucht es klares Handeln und Engagement. Dazu fordere ich auch im Namen von SME Europe auf.

听听Bruno Gon莽alves, em nome do Grupo S&D. 鈥� Senhor Presidente, Caros Colegas, antes da crise financeira, o PIB da zona euro era compar谩vel ao dos Estados Unidos. Hoje, 茅 apenas cerca de 60 %. Perante esta anemia econ贸mica, a resposta n茫o pode nem deve ser mais do mesmo.

Precisamos de um Fundo Europeu para a Competitividade que promova a nossa ind煤stria e o emprego qualificado. Mas tamb茅m devemos mobilizar investimento privado, criando melhores condi莽玫es para o nosso ecossistema de startups inovadoras, ao tornar a Europa num destino apetec铆vel para o capital de risco.

Queremos investimento em setores produtivos com potencial inovador, sim. Mas este exerc铆cio de capta莽茫o de investimento estrangeiro n茫o pode ser feito 脿 pressa, sem crit茅rio. N茫o devemos alimentar a especula莽茫o, como acontece tantas vezes no caso da habita莽茫o. Nem podemos depauperar a nossa autonomia estrat茅gica vendendo ativos p煤blicos em setores estrat茅gicos a pa铆ses terceiros.

Ao respeitar estes princ铆pios, evitando os erros do passado, temos todas as condi莽玫es para construir um mercado europeu de capitais mais din芒mico, que seja justo e seguro.

听听St茅phanie Yon-Courtin, au nom du groupe Renew. 鈥� Madame la Pr茅sidente, Madame la Commissaire, pour gagner en comp茅titivit茅, il faut laisser nos entreprises europ茅ennes innover. Mais si l'argent public est rare et que les banques ne financent pas le risque, vers qui peuvent se tourner nos entreprises? Les march茅s financiers, oui, mais lesquels?

Aujourd'hui, l'Europe n'est pas 脿 la hauteur. Nos p茅pites n'ont pas d'autre choix que de se financer outre-Atlantique: les 脡tats-Unis investissent en moyenne six fois plus dans les start-up qu'en Europe. Pour garantir notre autonomie strat茅gique, notre continent doit reprendre la main sur les secteurs-cl茅s comme la tech et la d茅fense. Il est donc temps de passer 脿 la vitesse sup茅rieure.

Cela veut dire d'abord des investissements publics plus cibl茅s et plus cons茅quents. Donnons plus de moyens au Fonds europ茅en d'investissement pour faire plus et mieux. Il a financ茅 plus de 350听000听PME en听2023 et mettra 脿 disposition un fonds pour financer les champions europ茅ens de la tech.

Il faut 茅galement stimuler les investissements priv茅s en cr茅ant un march茅 europ茅en des capitaux. Levons les obstacles pour les PME avec des r猫gles plus simples et moins lourdes, faisons de l'Europe un terrain d'innovation. Ce n'est qu'en d茅bloquant notre potentiel que nous cr茅erons des superstars de l'innovation europ茅enne.

听听Damian Boeselager, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group. 鈥� Madam President, first of all, I want to thank you, Commissioner, for your five years of service: we will spend another five years in this Chamber, but you are free to go.

I think the problem awareness is there. We all know that we don't have enough VC capital, and this has been said, I'm very happy that Draghi put it in a new report so we can all see it very clearly again.

But then, I wonder, why don't we do anything? The reason that currently nothing is happening 鈥� and that Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, all these companies are basically being established in the US 鈥� is because of our national egos. We had this conversation recently, the Capital Markets Union is in everyone's ears, but nobody is actually committing because they all want their nations to prevail. That is weakness and that is the perspective of cross-border rather than interior market.

So I think we really need to do a couple of things now: we need to unlock the Capital Markets Union. We need to ensure that we really work with the 28th regime, wherever we can, to establish an 'EU Inc', at least to make it easier to invest and scale. We need to make it easier to leverage mezzanine funds and EIB and EIF investments, and we need to make it easier for institutional investors to invest in VCs.

听听Fernando Navarrete Rojas (PPE). 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, se帽ora comisaria, se帽or铆as, que Europa se haya quedado rezagada en la revoluci贸n tecnol贸gica de los 煤ltimos quince a帽os tiene, efectivamente, m谩s que ver con el infradesarrollo del ecosistema del capital riesgo que con debates econ贸micos que, a veces, concitan m谩s atenci贸n.

Y esto es as铆 porque el capital riesgo es, en primer lugar, la forma natural de financiar proyectos innovadores que aspiran a suponer una disrupci贸n en los mercados o a competir globalmente. Y, en segundo lugar, porque es un ecosistema que impulsa la difusi贸n tecnol贸gica y del conocimiento, generando as铆 nuevas historias de 茅xito.

Desafortunadamente, como ya se ha dicho, nuestro mercado tiene un tama帽o de solo un 80听% del estadounidense. Muchas buenas ideas empiezan en Europa y acaban dando el salto a Estados Unidos para triunfar en el mundo. Adem谩s, alrededor del 40听% de los fondos de capital riesgo que se invierten en la Uni贸n provienen del exterior. Esto es un reconocimiento global al potencial de nuestros emprendedores, pero tambi茅n la demostraci贸n de que no tenemos ni el ecosistema ni el apetito de riesgo necesario para propulsar nuestras buenas ideas.

Europa es excedentaria en capital financiero, pero muy deficitaria en apetito de riesgo y de disrupci贸n. Nuestros mercados financieros deben, por tanto, permanecer abiertos al mundo. Esto no implica ignorar los riesgos geopol铆ticos ni las diferencias de comportamiento que importantes inversores pseudoestatales desarrollan en sus pa铆ses de origen. Pero la soluci贸n no pasa por cerrar nuestros mercados, sino por el fortalecimiento del marco institucional a nivel nacional y europeo, garantizando que quienes inviertan aqu铆 cumplan nuestras normas.

听听Nikos Papandreou (S&D). 鈥� Madam President, with my turn, I would like to thank the Commissioner for her good work. I've only been here a year, but it's been great to hear you.

I'd like to comment on what my colleague from Berlin just said 鈥� I think you were from Volt, I forget which party you are in now 鈥� the capital markets union will be difficult unless we break the backs 鈥� that sounds a little bit radical 鈥� of the banks in the countries. No country wants to give that one up, because for many reasons. I won't go into the details. So how do we do that in the next five years? It's not clear.

Second of all, the lack of venture capital, among the many bad things that it causes, is that the talent that we produce with our free education 鈥� more or less subsidised 鈥� goes abroad, comes back as a foreign company and runs the show here. That's the third thing. And Draghi 鈥� this is why it's very topical in the new five years 鈥� supports 鈥� and I think that's also the S&D position 鈥� more public investment to de-risk and to allow for venture capital. It's not an easy thing. We have a few years to do it. I hope we succeed because that really is the way we will enter Web3 and the 21st century.

听听Francesco Torselli (ECR). 鈥� Signora Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, gli investimenti diretti dall'estero possono rappresentare un'opportunit脿 di crescita e di innovazione per chi li riceve. Ma quando si affronta questo argomento, per貌, sono necessari almeno un paio di distinguo.

Il primo: la strategicit脿 del settore di investimento: dobbiamo evitare il rischio di controlli in ambiti nevralgici per la vita di ogni singola nazione. Il secondo: l'Unione europea ad oggi non ha un sistema omogeneo di controllo degli FDI e questo ci rende ancora troppo permeabili.

Gli FDI possono rappresentare per貌 uno strumento per la tutela occupazionale. Nell'ottobre scorso il Primo ministro italiano, Giorgia Meloni, ha incontrato il governo cinese invitandolo ad investire nel nostro Paese, cos矛 da trasformare un'aggressione al mercato interno in un'opportunit脿 di lavoro.

In definitiva, un'Europa competitiva non si sottrae al capitale straniero, ma difende gli ambiti fondamentali, ponendo al primo posto tra le priorit脿 la tutela della sicurezza e degli asset strategici nazionali.

听听Niels Flemming Hansen (PPE). 鈥� Fru formand! If酶lge Det Internationale Energiagentur er 35 % af de teknologier, vi skal bruge for at n氓 Net Zero i 2050, endnu ikke p氓 markedet. Det viser behovet for at 酶ge investeringerne i gr酶n innovation. Venturekapital er centralt i det 酶kosystem, der finansierer innovative virksomheder. Det kr忙ver villighed til at tage h酶j risiko for at opn氓 et h酶jt afkast. Men Europa halter bagefter USA, fordi institutionelle investeringer i EU engagerer sig langt mindre i venturekapital. Det m氓 忙ndres, hvis vi skal sikre EU's konkurrenceevne og gr酶nne f酶rerposition. Jeg har tre klare anbefalinger: G酶r det lettere for institutionelle investeringer at deltage i venturekapitalmarkedet og styrke Den Europ忙iske Investeringsfond rolle, m氓lret st酶tte til cleantechfonde og s酶rg for at sikre strenge b忙redygtighedskriterier og udvid direkte investeringer i europ忙iske cleantech-startups. Den Europ忙iske Investeringsbank, EIB, b酶r st酶tte udvalgte virksomheder direkte. Vi skal ogs氓 huske, at for hver enkelt euro, vi skal spendere, skal vi tiltr忙kke mellem to og fem private euro for at lykkes med den gr酶nne omstilling. Derfor b酶r det v忙re en prioritet for den nye Kommission at fremskynde arbejdet med at rydde op i junglen af lovgivning, der h忙mmer gr忙nseoverskridende investeringer. Fremtiden venter ikke. Vi skal handle nu for klimaet, for industrien og for Europas gr酶nne lederskab.

听听Matthias Ecke (S&D). 鈥� Frau Pr盲sidentin, Frau Kommissarin, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Mit einem Umsatz von 2听Milliarden Euro ist der Zahlungsdienstleister Klarna genau die Art von Unicorn, die wir eigentlich hier in der EU brauchen. Aber Klarna zeigt uns eigentlich unsere Schw盲chen ziemlich gnadenlos auf. 2020 verkauft das Unternehmen einen Minderheitenanteil an den chinesischen Tech-Giganten Alibaba. Jetzt geht Klarna an die B枚rse, aber nicht in Stockholm, Paris oder Frankfurt, sondern in den USA.

Europa hat ein Problem: W盲hrend andere Weltregionen mit gezielten Investitionen Innovationen f枚rdern, bleiben wir oft zur眉ck, und zwar nicht wegen mangelnder Ideen 鈥� die gibt es hier genug 鈥�, sondern wegen der fehlenden Finanzierung. Wir sind stark, wenn es um Forschung geht, aber zu schwach, wenn es darum geht, die Ergebnisse der Forschung zur Marktreife zu bringen. Uns fehlt halt oft das Risikokapital.

Wir brauchen ein 脰kosystem, das Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Kapital besser vernetzt. Ausl盲ndische Direktinvestitionen k枚nnen da eine Rolle spielen, aber wir d眉rfen auch nicht naiv sein. Wo jetzt das Kapital aus dem Ausland noch willkommen ist, schafft es morgen vielleicht neue Abh盲ngigkeiten. Deswegen braucht Europa selber mehr Wagniskapital durch einen starken Binnenmarkt, durch die Kapitalmarktunion und auch durch gezielte staatliche Instrumente, damit die Einh枚rner der Zukunft am Ende des Regenbogens vielleicht auch mal die EU finden.

听听Isabel Benjumea Benjumea (PPE). 鈥� Se帽ora presidenta, se帽ora comisaria, le deseo todo lo mejor en la nueva etapa que comienza.

Les voy a leer unos datos de un informe que compara el mercado de capital de riesgo en los Estados Unidos y en Europa. Y, verdaderamente, es demoledor.

Por un lado, nos dice que la Uni贸n Europea representa menos del 50听% del tama帽o del mercado de capital de riesgo americano.

Luego nos dice que las rondas de capital en los Estados Unidos son m谩s grandes en todas las etapas, en las iniciales y en las de crecimiento.

Tambi茅n nos pone de manifiesto que las inversiones en Europa se destinan principalmente a gastos del Pacto Verde Europeo, mientras que en los Estados Unidos se est谩n destinando a inversiones en inteligencia artificial, en salud o en defensa.

Nos pone de manifiesto que no creamos start-ups altamente valoradas por los mercados y que las que creamos simplemente se van. Y el n煤mero de 芦unicornios禄 en los Estados Unidos es tres veces superior al de 芦unicornios禄 en Europa.

Y, finalmente, pone de manifiesto el grave da帽o de la fragmentaci贸n regulatoria en Europa, que lo que impide es un mercado 谩gil de mercados de capital de riesgo.

La gran pregunta es si queremos una Europa de emprendedores, de empresas que generen trabajo, que generen riqueza, o queremos una Europa de inversi贸n p煤blica o de funcionarios. Simplemente tenemos que reaccionar y reaccionar ya.

Contudo, devemos afirmar tamb茅m aqui, com clareza, o seguinte: o modelo europeu de desenvolvimento passa pela articula莽茫o virtuosa da moderniza莽茫o e crescimento econ贸mico com um Estado social que protege e tamb茅m liberta.

Esse 茅 o nosso modelo, no qual, creio eu, a grande maioria da popula莽茫o se continua a rever. N茫o h谩 prosperidade econ贸mica sem bem-estar social.

听听Lukas Sieper (NI). 鈥� Madam听President, dear Commissioner, being a new Member to the 合法博彩网站, I was not able to see your work in action, but I was told a lot of good things and having a great sense of love for your culture, I must say, you have the most Irish name that I've ever heard in my life.

Our newly elected President of the Commission said we need an economy that works for the people and I fully agree. Our strong economy and our unique single market is our biggest advantage in that more and more hostile world of ours.

I really hope that we will especially work together on the capital markets union, not only as a tool to foster both venture capital and foreign investment in the EU, but also strengthen a united Europe as a whole. Because our economy was the one thing that brought us together in the beginning and I think it can also bring us together in the future.

(Ende der spontanen Wortmeldungen)

听听President. 鈥� Now I would like to pass the floor to the Commissioner for the last time in this House as Commissioner. I would like to thank you very, very much, Madam Commissioner, for the work you have done throughout the years.

听听Mairead McGuinness, Member of the Commission. 鈥� Madam听President, thank you. I loved being in that chair and I love this 合法博彩网站 and the fun and debates and the rows we've had, and I've been here 20 years, so I have some memory of that.

I just need to clarify something to my colleague at the very back of the Chamber. In Ireland we have a phrase, 'the poor relation'. I am McGuinness, not Guinness, so I qualify as the poor relation, but a happy one, that said.

Look, it's been a really frank debate and I'm glad that I'm here for it. I think everybody in this House really is passionate about solutions. You've all agreed on the problem and I think that's important. The word used was we agree on the diagnosis. We're losing influence. We're losing opportunities. We're losing companies. We're failing workers. We're were failing SMEs. It doesn't have to be that way.

And if I could say, MEP听Boeselager, you very clearly said 鈥� and I think it's a word we need to repeat 鈥搉ational egos are an issue. I mean, we had a bit of an exchange at the start of this debate, my Maltese colleague and I, I said, 'I'm Irish', but our nationality should not blind us to the reality that if we have fragmented capital markets, if we have national boundaries, we have less.

I really hope that you who are passionate about this topic can persuade the leaders of Member States, their finance ministers, that achieving a savings and investment union or capital markets union and banking union is about added value. I have said to the finance ministers on many occasions, please don't look at this as you're winning and I'm losing. This is not what it's about.

I would hope that our citizens and businesses would push us all a little bit harder because they are losing out as citizens. Their money is not earning what it should be. They're not investing for their future, for their pensions. The SME sector, large companies, they're not getting the capital they need in Europe and, therefore, Europe is losing out.

But on a day when the incoming Commission has been voted through, I salute you who put this debate on the agenda. I think it has to be constantly addressed and you have rather got to put pressure on the Member States to look at the big picture here and really, I said at the beginning, think and talk about the single market, not about cross鈥慴order, because cross鈥慴order is a killer.

My last word is again one of thanks and appreciation. Somebody asked me, what am I most proud of? And because I come from Ireland and a large family, we don't do pride because it comes before a fall. But I am proud that I survived and that I made good friends and we got some good work done. Thank you all for that and I wish you well for the future.

听听President. 鈥� Thank you very much, Commissioner McGuinness. I wish you all the best.
