  • Luxembourg Final Report
    JESSICA JOINT EUROPEAN SUPPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT IN CITY AREAS Evaluation Study for Luxembourg Final Report April 2010 This document has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union. The views expressed herein can in no way be taken to reflect the official opinion of the European Union. Foreword This report has been prepared on behalf of the European Investment Bank (EIB) as an evaluation study for the application of a JESSICA funding structure in Luxembourg. The report covers the five principal and two supplementary objectives outlined within the Terms of Reference. In particular, this report is intended to evaluate Nordstad as a pilot, and to consider whether it is suitable for structural funds support which could be financed through JESSICA. Areas of our study have been limited by the information available and all financial estimates are therefore based on high level assumptions. During the course of this study, a number of issues have arisen that have led to the consultancy team to consider areas outside of the original Terms of Reference. Particularly, in relation to our proposals for a new National Development Framework and the establishment of a wider Development Fund in Luxembourg. The purpose of this report is to act as a useful starting point to promote further discussion over the potential implementation of the JESSICA mechanism in Luxembourg. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The principle conclusions from this study are as follows:- 1. There is a clear role for JESSICA in Luxembourg to form part of a Luxembourg-wide Development Fund. The JESSICA funding element would stimulate public private investment in regeneration and development schemes across the country.
