# Regulation (EU) 2015/1017 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2015 on the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the European Investment Advisory Hub and the European Investment Project Portal and amending Regulations (EU) No 1291/2013 and (EU) No 1316/2013 — the European Fund for Strategic Investments, Division 1: Scope

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The purpose of the investment guidelines shall be to serve together with this Regulation as a basis for the Investment Committee to decide in a transparent and independent manner on the use of the EU guarantee for EIB operations that are eligible under the EFSI in conformity with the objectives and any other relevant requirements laid down in this Regulation.
The investment guidelines are based on the principles established by this Regulation with regard to general objectives, eligibility criteria, eligible instruments and the definition of additionality. They complement this Regulation by (i) giving further guidance on eligibility, (ii) providing a risk framework for operations, (iii) defining sector and geographic diversification thresholds, and (iv) defining criteria to assess the contribution to the EFSI objectives to facilitate prioritisation.
The investment guidelines only apply to EFSI operations relating to the debt and equity instruments referred to in Article 10(2)(a) of this Regulation and are thus not applicable to EFSI operations relating to the instruments referred to in Article 10(2)(b).
