Bieńkowska: projects for industry within Juncker's plan

Elżbieta Bieńkowska, the European Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs said she has been lobbying for placing as she called "industry projects" in the core part of the EU investment fund (the Juncker plan). "I suggested ..., that not only will there be infrastructure investments, but also industry investments, as one of the pillars [of the plan]," Bieńkowska said.

Bieńkowska had in mind projects related to such fields as energy efficiency or industry areas dedicated to large companies from the sector. She mentioned Silesia as the region where such investments might be implemented.
