   Adds extensive new content on regulatory burdens, bank lending, and the need for simplification, including calls to review Green Deal obligations. Expands measures to mobilise private capital, including retail investment, pension funds, and venture capital, with new calls on EuVECA and tax incentives. Strengthens the focus on scale-up financing gaps and the role of the EIB Group, co-investment platforms, and the TechEU Platform. Adds clarifications on the 28th regime, guidance tools, and the balance between national and internal markets. The other changes are formal or wording: renumbering and minor rephrasing.
