19 2. The future of JEREMIE Intensive talks with the DG REGIO have been underway since the Autumn to discuss the existing implementation framework and to negotiate on the next EU funding period (i.e ) - primarily via the forum of COCOF (Committee of the Coordination of the Funds). The EIF s JEREMIE team (in collaboration with the EIB s JESSICA team) has been heavily involved in discussing necessary modifications to, and interpretation of, the implementation framework - in order to pave the way for a smooth roll-out of JEREMIE version 2.0. The resulting draft COCOF note has emerged as a complete and comprehensive document which, once approved, will give a clearer guidance for a more efficient implementation of financial engineering instruments throughout Europe. 18 / 23
