Recital 21

(21) The scope of support of the JTF should also be extended to cover investments in technologies covered by this Regulation and to address shortages of labour and skills that are necessary to realise those investments, contributing to the STEP objectives by large enterprises while preserving a focus on SMEs, provided that such investments are compatible with the expected contribution to the transition to climate neutrality as set out in the territorial just transition plans in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/1056. The support provided to those investments should not require a revision of the territorial just transition plan where that revision would be exclusively linked to the gap analysis justifying the investment from the perspective of job creation. In the context of support for enterprises other than SMEs, consideration should also be given to investments contributing to the creation of apprenticeships and jobs or providing education or training for new skills.
