On 14 September 2016, Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission delivered his 2016 State of the European Union address in the European Parliament, in Strasbourg. On this occasion, the Commission set out how it planned to further boost investment to support jobs and sustainable growth, both in Europe and globally. The Commission proposed to extend its successful European Fund for Strategic Investments, at the heart of its Investment Plan for Europe, to increase its firepower and reinforce its strengths, and to set up a new European External Investment Plan (EIP) to encourage investment in Africa and the EU Neighbourhood to strengthen partnerships and contribute to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
