Finansiel bistand fra CEF til udbredelse af bredbånd bør understøtte medlemsstaternes indsats, både direkte og ved at udgøre et investeringsinstrument for frivillige øremærkede bidrag fra andre kilder, deriblandt ESI-fonde, således at medlemsstaterne kan drage fordel af den viden og de stordriftsfordele, der ligger i EU-forvaltede faciliteter, og de offentlige midler dermed kan blive brugt mere effektivt.
CEF financial assistance to broadband deployment should contribute to Member States' efforts both directly and by providing an investment vehicle for voluntary, ring-fenced contributions from other sources, including ESI Funds, thus allowing Member States to take advantage of the know-how and scale-effects of Union-managed facilities with a view to increasing the efficiency of public spending.
