EN 58   EN Part 6: Information on financia l corrections and recoveries in the 
Structural Funds 
1. INTRODUCTION  
It is important for the Commission to ha ve reliable information on all types of 
financial corrections and recoveries. The Commission needs this information to 
perform its supervisory role and to provi de evidence that the multi-annual control 
system is working, as financial corrections and recoveries are gene rally carried out in 
years subsequent to the one in whic h the respective payments from the 
Community budget were made. 
In its 2005 and 2006 Annual Reports the European Court of Auditors noted 
weaknesses in the information provided by the Commission on financial corrections 
and particularly in the reporting of corrections by Member States. 
The Court’s observations triggered discus sion during the discharge procedure, in 
which both the European Parliament and the Council called for further information 
on financial corrections and recoveries to be published and regularly updated. 
The Commission now regularly publishes th is information. Figur es on corrections 
and recoveries by the Commi ssion are provided in the explanatory notes to the 
Commission’s accounts for 2006 and 2007. In an annex to la st year’s Annual Report 
on the Structural Funds (SEC(2007)1456), the Commission provi ded data for the 
first time on withdrawals, recoveries and pe nding recoveries of Structural Funds by 
Member States. This information is upda ted here for 2007. The corrections and 
recoveries figures published in the expl anatory notes to th e Commission’s accounts 
for 2007 are repeated in order to provide a complete picture of  correction activity 
in the Structural Funds. 
Last year’s report also c ontained a detailed explanat ion of the terminology and 
procedures in the area of financial corrections and reco veries and the reporting of 
irregularities. While this is  not repeated, this  report describes th e work done in the 
meantime to improve the quality of th e published data and the underlying systems 
and reporting. 
2. FINANCIAL CORRECTION ACTIVITY AND RECOVERIES BY MEMBER STATES  
2.1. Execution of financial correctio ns (withdrawals and recoveries) by 
Member States for the 2000-2006 period 
In February 2008, the Commission wrote to Member States reminding them of the 
requirement to provide updated information on withdrawals, rec overies and pending 
recoveries of Structural Funds both for 2007 and cumulatively for the whole 
2000-2006 period, and for all four funds (ERDF, ESF, EAGGF and FIFG). 
Following analysis of the data received, th e Commission wrote to the Member States 
asking them to supply an y missing information by the end of September 2008. 
The data received up to the end of J une 2008 are shown in the following tables. 
 
EN 59   EN It is useful to recall the distincti on between withdrawal s and recoveries. 
Member States  may execute financial corrections in two ways. Either they: 
– withdraw  the expenditure affected from the programme immediately by 
deducting it from the next statement of expenditure submitted to the Commission, thereby immediately releasing the EC  funding for commitment to other 
operations; or they 
– leave  the expenditure for the time being in the programme pending the outcome 
of proceedings to recover  the unduly paid amount from the beneficiaries. 
Recovery is effected either by obtaining repayment of the sums concerned from 
the beneficiary or setting off the sums to be  repaid against further payments due to 
the same beneficiary. Amounts recovered are repaid to the Commission generally 
by deduction from the next statement of expenditure. 
Member States are required to supply the Commission with data on financial 
corrections in the form of both the am ounts withdrawn from co-financing and the 
amounts recovered. The two sets of data are distinct and complementary, as only 
expenditure withdrawn without waiting fo r the outcome of recovery proceedings
1 is 
included in withdrawals , and only expenditure which has not been withdrawn at the 
outset, but has been left in the declared e xpenditure until recovery  has taken place, is 
included in recoveries . In addition, Member States ar e required to report the amounts 
awaiting recovery (i.e. subject to a recove ry procedure but not yet recovered), or 
“pending recoveries” .

the unduly paid sums from the beneficiary. Member States are obliged under the regulations to pursue 
recoveries wherever possible and appropriate (Article 38(1)(h) of Regulation 1260/1999 and Article 
7(3) of Regulation 448/2001).

3. FINANCIAL CORRECTION ACTIVITY AND RECOVERIES BY THE COMMISSION  
3.1. Financial corrections 
The financial corrections (E C contribution) made to St ructural Fund programmes 
over the last five years (2003 to 2007) , resulting from Commission audit work, 
audit work by the Court of Auditors, OLAF  investigations and the closure process 
for 1994-1999 programmes, are given below for each programming period.  
The Commission published figures  for financial corrections in the Structural Funds 
resulting from its own and other EC bodies ’ audit work for the first time in the 
2006 accounts, distinguishing between corrections by formal Commission decision and those accepted by Member States wit hout a decision. Under a commitment given 
in the 2006 discharge procedure, from  2008 onwards the Commission is reporting 
information on corrections on a quarterly  basis to the European Parliament. 
In the financial corrections proposed by the Commission on the basis of its own or 
other EC bodies’ audit work, but accepted a nd executed by the Member States, there 
is a potential overlap be tween the figures on “ withdrawals”  by Member States 
presented in section 3 and the figures for “ Financial corrections without a 
Commission decision”  presented here.

EN 67   EN 4. CONCLUSION  
The measures taken by the Commission have led to  a substantial improvement in the level of 
information on financial corrections and recove ries that is availabl e in the Commission.  
Nevertheless, further efforts are needed to attain an acceptable leve l of completeness and 
quality in the data recorded and transmitted by Member States, which should be sufficient to provide an accurate overview on financial co rrections and recoveries. The Commission is 
taking further steps to improve the information available to the discharge authority and the 
European Court of Auditors by: 
– completing and correcting the da ta gathered so far, by re quiring Member States to 
supply the missing data and provide explanations for anomalies;  
– verifying the data, includi ng checking, on a sample basis,  the accuracy of the data 
through audit work. This ac tion is being undertaken under point 6.2 of the 
Action Plan to strengthen the Commission’s  supervisory role in structural actions 
(COM(2008)97). Conclusions wi ll be drawn at the end of 2008 and any follow-up 
action taken; and  
– conducting a global analysis, under th e responsibility of DG Budget, in 
collaboration with the relevant Directorat es-General, of all types of recovery and 
financial corrections currently in use,  and any related problems, and finding 
reliable solutions to obtaining missi ng information and the full amounts.
