European long-term investment funds (ELTIFs) invest on a long-term basis in infrastructure projects, real estate, and small and medium-sized enterprises, among other things.

The key mulled changes involve differentiating between ELTIFs marketed to professional ...

While business tax incentives are used widely, concerns have been raised in recent years regarding their effectiveness, their impact on public finances and whether they could potentially distort the EU single market.
