The Committee has already set out its views on the proposal for a regulation establishing the InvestEU programme in an opinion adopted on 17 October 2018
          (1), and on the revised proposal in an opinion adopted on 15 July 2020
          (2). The proposed amendments to the InvestEU regulation are technical in nature and intended to simplify the rules and requirements of the InvestEU programme. Considering that in its previous opinions the EESC called for regulatory simplification and supported the Commission in making InvestEU an umbrella financial instrument, it decided to issue an opinion endorsing the proposed text and to refer to the position it had taken in the above-mentioned documents.
