&#8211; already fragile &#8211; European economies as never before in peacetime. Governments and public entities, including the EuropeanUnion, have been called upon to save the economy, whatever it takes, from the worst downturn in living memory and will play a crucial role in relaunching our economies after   the   outbreak.   We   have   to   acknowledge   that   the   capacity   to   invest   of   EU members   differs   widely.   We   must   tackle   regional   imbalances   also   within   member states,   and   enhance   the   ability   of   the   poorest   regions   to   recover   and   to   protect themselves against future shocks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size greens-content\">For this reason, we need an unprecedented and  massive sustainable investmentplan, mobilising as much as 5 trillion euros over the next 12 years which will pave the way to a long-term, socially and environmentally resilient, job-rich economic recovery that is inclusive and gender responsive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size greens-content\">Besides   the   active   use   of   the   ECB   firepower,   whose   robust   contributions   so   far   is welcomed, this massive sustainable investment plan, will mobilise all fiscal (with theEU   budget   as   key   instrument   but   also   national,   regional   and   local   budgets),   and financial   (mainly   the   EIB)   tools   we   have   in   order   to   finance,  in   the   short   term,   a stimulus package with the Green Deal at its core  to recover from the economic downturn  and,   in   the   longer   run,  investment   and   regulatory   reform to transform our economies and make them truly resilient while showing solidarity with third countries and aligned with the care economy. Certain economic sectors, like tourism,  are  gravely affected by the  outbreak, and support to  the  impacted regions must   limit   the   social   impact   of   the   crisis   and   at   the   same   time   set   the   respective sectors on track for a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size greens-content\">Considering the disproportionate economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis on women, all  EU  investment  decisions  must  undergo  a  gender impact  assessment.

Re-localisation,   in   certain   sectors,   such   as   food,   health and pharmaceutical productions, should be supported in order to be less dependent from global supply chains. However, if financial support should be generously granted to keep companies afloat, especially in the most hard hit sectors, profit making with the financial support should not be allowed and it
