The European Union has prepared a list of almost 2,000 candidate projects, with a total value of 1300 billion euros, which could benefit from the 315 billion investment plan. EurActiv France reports.

According to an EU document, more than 2,000 projects across the EU hope to obtain a slice of the several billion plus euro investment plan announced by Commission President Juncker. The member states were asked to submit a list of projects to the European executive, in the hope of gaining funding.

These projects range from building a new terminal at Helsinki airport to upgrading flood defences in Great Britain and improving the energy efficiency of public buildings in France.

A long list

In a press release from 9 December, the European Commission identified "around 2,000 projects across Europe worth some 1.3 trillion of potential investments, out of which over 500 billion worth of projects could potentially be implemented over the next three years".

The candidate projects on this list, which is yet to be finalised, include a programme of building renovation in the Netherlands, the construction of a new port in Ireland, and even the building of a new high-speed railway between Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, worth 4.5 billion.

The European Commission hopes that the first projects it selects will have access to funding starting in June 2015.

On 26 November, less than a month after his arrival at the head of the European executive, Jean-Claude Juncker presented his plan for the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), which he hopes will lead to 315 billion euro of (largely private) investment over 3 years.

The U.S. military shut its last detention center in Afghanistan on Wednesday, a day after a Senate Intelligence Committee report highlighted torture of terrorism suspects at former CIA-run prisons in the country.

The U.S. military shuttered its prison at Bagram air base north of Kabul after handing over two Tunisian prisoners to Afghan authorities, and after releasing a Jordanian prisoner, who will be sent home or resettled with the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Pentagon officials said.

Under a bilateral security agreement that takes effect Jan. 1, the government of Afghanistan will be responsible for all detention facilities in the country. The Bagram facility thus closed three weeks earlier than it might have.

The Tunisians, Ridha Ahmad Najjar, (also known as Redha al-Najar) and Lutfi al-Arabi al-Gharisi, will be imprisoned by Afghan authorities. The Jordanian, Taheer Halaf, is not considered a security threat and was set free in Afghanistan, officials said.

In a statement, Mark Wright, a Pentagon spokesman, said that the last three prisoners in U.S. custody were transferred after careful review by the Defense and State Departments.

Effective Dec. 10, 2014, the Defense Department no longer operates detention facilities in Afghanistan or maintains custody of any detainees, he said.
