European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker will next Wednesday unveil his long awaited 300 billion euro investment plan to boost jobs and growth in the EU’s flagging economy, officials said.
Juncker will present details of the ambitious plan to a session of the European Parliament, which is sitting in Strasbourg, France, at 9 a.m., the official parliamentary schedule said.
Parliament’s political groups will be able to respond afterwards.
The plan is the centerpiece of a wide-ranging reform agenda by the former Luxembourg premier, who took charge of the commission, the 28-nation European Union’s executive branch, on Nov. 1.
But it has been overshadowed by a row over revelations about huge tax breaks for international firms that Luxembourg handed out during Juncker’s 19 years as premier.
Juncker faces a no-confidence motion in parliament filed by eurosceptic and far-right groups over the revelations. (AFP)
