Report on ex ante verification of additionality in the regions eligible under the 
Convergence objective for the period 2007–2013 

THE VERIFICATION OF ADDITIONALITY BY MEMBER STATE 

Austria 

The structural expenditure taken into account in verifying additionality is for Burgenland, 
the only region falling under the Convergence objective in Austria. 

It derives from federal and regional budgets and from the budgets of the municipalities of 
the region. Structural expenditure by public enterprises was considered irrelevant in the 
eligible area at the time of the ex ante verification, and so was not included in setting the 
reference  level.  Should  the  situation  change,  the  Austrian  authorities  will  inform  the 
Commission.

Belgium 

Expenditure taken into account to verify additionality for the period 2007-2013 is based 
on structural expenditure aimed at contributing to the economic and social development 
of the Hainaut, the only region falling under the Convergence objective in Belgium. 

Expenditure  was  determined  from  the  budget  headings  of  the  Walloon  Region,  the 
French-speaking  Community  and,  if  necessary,  of  the  Federal  Government.  The 
expenditure  of  the  local  authorities  (municipalities,  inter-municipalities  and  provinces) 
has  been  estimated  considering  the  grants  allocated  by  the  Walloon  Region  to  these 
entities, because they lack substantial means to lead significant structural actions. 

The notion of "public-enterprises" includes the expenditure of the inter-municipal energy 
distribution  companies  (electricity  and  gas),  as  they  have  room  to  carry  out  certain 
investments.

Bulgaria 

The whole territory of Bulgaria falls under the Convergence objective. As Bulgaria joined 
the European Union in 2007, verification was carried out for the first time.  

Expenditure  from  the  budgets  of  the  first-  and  second-level  spending  units,  the 
municipalities  and  institutions  with  independent  budgets  (state  universities,  the  national 
health insurance fund and the state social insurance fund) was taken into account for the 
eligible  categories.  The  capital  spending  of  the  biggest  government-owned  public

enterprises  that  have  an  impact  on  the  Bulgarian  economy  was  also  included  in  the 
additionality table.

Czech Republic 

Of  the  eight  Czech  regions,  seven  fall  under  the  Convergence  objective  (the  region  of 
Prague  falls  under  the  regional  competitiveness  and  employment  objective).  Therefore 
expenditure incurred in Prague had to be excluded from the verification exercise for the 
Convergence objective.  

Structural  expenditure  was  calculated  based  on  the  financial  statements  of  all  relevant 
entities covered by public budgets. 

The application used for this purpose (ARIS: Automated Budgetary Information System) 
produced  information  according  to  NUTS2  regions  and  was  processed  externally  under 
the  supervision  of  the  Ministry  of  Finance.  Local  budget  expenditure  incurred  in  the 
Prague  NUTS2  region  is  excluded  from  the  ARIS  summary  tables  automatically.  For 
other  expenditure  in  Prague,  estimates  had  to  be  made  to  identify  which  parts  were 
actually spent in the Prague region and which in the rest of the Czech Republic, as this 
expenditure had to be included for verification purposes. 

Similarly, the ARIS database does not identify state budget expenditure that, according to 
financial  statements,  is  assigned  to  Prague  but  is  in  fact  spent  in  other  NUTS2  regions 
(except  for  local  budget  expenditure).  Therefore,  other  databases  (ISPROFIN,  CEDR) 
and  techniques  were  used  to  identify  investment  and  non-investment  expenditure  and 
expenditure  of  state  funds  incurred  in  the  Prague  region  and  in  the  rest  of  the  Czech 
Republic.  

The  information  used  to  determine  the  scope  of  additionality  was  obtained  from 
databases  of  the  Ministry  of  Finance  on  financial  statements  of  the  expenditure  of  the 
state budget, local budgets and the State Environmental Fund, the State Fund of Transport 
Infrastructure and the State Fund for Housing Development for 2004 and 2005.

Estonia 

The whole territory of Estonia falls under the Convergence objective. 

Only structural expenditure originating from the state budget of the Republic of Estonia, 
and  from  the  budgets  of  regional  and  local  authorities  for  the  eligible  categories  was 
taken into account. Spending by public service bodies (state-owned enterprises) that have 
their own independent budgets was also included in the additionality tables. 

Data were gathered from different sources: 

•  for  actual  payments  from  the  state  budget,  the  state  treasury  database  and  audited 

financial statement of state budget execution were used; 

EN 

3 

   EN 

•  for local municipality expenditure, the annual financial reports of local municipalities 

(submitted regularly to the Ministry of Finance) were reviewed; 

•  for other eligible public expenditure, i.e. expenditure by state-owned enterprises, their 
annual financial reports (submitted regularly to the Ministry of Finance) were used; 

•  data on payments from Structural Funds for the period 2004-2006 were extracted from 

the Structural Funds operational system (SFOS); 

•  to  forecast  Structural  Fund  payments  for  the  period  2007-2013,  data  from  the 

financing table for the Estonian NSRF 2007-2013 were used. 

For programming the state budget expenditure in eligible fields for the period 2007-2013, 
an annual growth rate of 6% was calculated.

France 

Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique and Reunion Island are the French regions falling under 
the objective Convergence for the period 2007-2013. 

The estimation of the expenditure is founded on the national structural expenditure for the 
economic  and  social  development  of  these  four  outermost  regions  (UPR).  The  exercise 
has  been  carried  out  from  expenditure  of  nine  budgets  from  2000  to  2005,  taking  into 
account  the  national  budget  plus  eight  local  involved  authorities  (one  region  and  one 
department  for  each  UPR).  Before  that,  an  overview  of  the  national  and  sub-national 
entities'  budget  nomenclatures  was  carried  out  for  each  financial  year  of  the  reference 
period  (2000-2005).  For  all  these  years,  budgetary  headings  corresponding  to  the 
expenditure categories concerned have been carefully identified. 

The  exercise  covered  the  whole  national  expenditure  from  2000  to  2005.  It  includes 
expenditure  within  the  DOCUP,  the  PIC,  and  other  contracts  and  whatever  other 
expenditure eligible to the Structural Funds. , PIC or within the plan contracts, once they 
are considered eligible under the Structural Funds. 

As for local expenditure, the Ministry of Economy regrouped the payments carried out by 
the local entities which were embedded in their administrative accounts.  

All the figures result from the gross data provided by the central information systems of 
the  central  administration  and  by  the  external  services  of  the  State.  Therefore  no 
estimates  have  been  made  to  build  the  different  tables.  Finally,  the  expenditure  of 
national  public  enterprises  could  not  be  captured  with  sufficient  reliability.  For  this 
reason, this expenditure was aggregated to the national expenditure.

Germany 

Of  Germany’s  16  Länder  (regions),  six  fell  under  Objective  1  in  the  2000-2006 
programming  period.  The  regional  coverage  changed  for  the  2007-2013  period:  Berlin 

EN

   EN 

(East) is not eligible under the Convergence objective while Lüneburg region in Lower 
Saxony is now eligible.  

Structural  expenditure  was  calculated  based  on  the  budgets  of  the  Federal  Government 
and  the  Länder.  Data  were  provided  by  the  Federal  Ministry  of  Economics  and 
Technology and the Federal States. 

With reference to Article 15(3) of the Regulation, the Commission and Germany added a 
bilateral declaration that ‘when determining the level of public or equivalent expenditure, 
the specific German situation with an exceptional high level of public expenditure after 
the reunification will be taken into account’. Thus the European Commission  agreed to 
decrease the level of structural expenditure to be maintained for the period 2007-2013 by 
EUR 6.1 billion. 

http://www.bmwi.de/BMWi/Navigation/Europa 

Greece 

Of Greece’s 14 regions, 12 were eligible under Objective 1 during the period 2000-2006. 
The  regional  coverage  has  changed  for  the  2007-2013  period:  Sterea  Ellada  and  Notio 
Aegaio are being phased in under the regional competitiveness and employment objective 
and are thus no longer eligible.  

Structural  expenditure  was  calculated  based on  the eligible  expenditure  from the  public 
investment programme (PIP), from the ordinary budget and from public enterprises in the 
fields of transport, telecommunications, energy, water supply and sewage works.  

Due to the exceptional nature of the 2004 Olympic Games, expenditure debited against a 
specific  budget  code  in  the  PIP  was  not  included,  pursuant  to  Article  15(3)  of  the 
Regulation. This amounted to: EUR 1 001.41 million in 2002, EUR 1 555.37 million in 
2003, EUR 1 797.92 million in 2004, and EUR 318.11 million in 2005. 

As  the  regions  of  Sterea  Ellada  and  Notio  Aegaio  are  no  longer  eligible  under  the 
Convergence objective, envisaged public investment in these regions was excluded from 
all  categories  of  expenditure  used  in  calculating  additionality  (the  public  investment 
budget,  the  ordinary  budget,  public  corporations,  the  Community  contribution,  and 
national  participation).  The  corresponding  decline  in  structural  expenditure  was  5.92%, 
reflecting the percentage  of payments  made from the public  investment budget in these 
two regions in the period 2000-2005.  

The category ‘Others’ includes capital expenditure that cannot be allocated directly to the 
main  additionality  categories  (basic  infrastructure,  human  resources,  and  productive 
environment).

Hungary 

Of  Hungary’s  seven  regions,  six  are  eligible  under  the  Convergence  objective.  Some 
structural  expenditure  in  these  regions  was  estimated  using  national  data  corrected 
according to the share of population living in the eligible regions. 

EN

   EN 

Structural expenditure was calculated based on the tables of Classification of Functions 
of Government (COFOG). Every year the Ministry of Finance prepares a table based on 
the  closing  accounts,  comprising  the  consolidated  figures  of  the  ‘legal  general 
government’ on cash-flow. The legal general government covers the central budget, local 
governments, extra-budgetary funds and social security funds. Besides ‘the legal general 
government’ the additionality table includes the expenditure of state-owned enterprises. 

As some structural expenditure incurred in the reference years 2004-2005 was considered 
exceptional  by  the  Hungarian  authorities  and  the  Commission,  it  was  agreed  to  correct 
the  annual  average  level  of  structural  expenditure  for  the  period.  The  reduction  agreed 
was  around  8%  of  total  spending.  The  Commission  accepted  this  reduction  not  only 
allowing for the nature of the exceptional expenditure but also considering that the final 
reference  expenditure  was  significantly  higher  than  the  Hungarian  ex ante  commitment 
for the period 2004-2005. In this context, the risk of the Structural Funds substituting for 
national  structural  expenditure  is  very  low.  The  Commission  considers  this  a  moderate 
reduction as it does not exceed 10% of expenditure. 

In  view  of  the  general  macroeconomic  prospects,  the  annual  national  structural 
expenditure to be maintained during the programming period 2007-2013 is  the  same  as 
for the period 2004-2005.

Italy 

The  number  of  regions  eligible  under  Objective  1  (2000-2006)  and  under  the 
Convergence  objective  (2007-2013)  fell  from  six  to  five:  Basilicata  (phasing  out), 
Campania,  Calabria,  Puglia  and  Sicilia.  The  region  of  Sardegna  is  being  ‘phased  in’ 
under  the  regional  competitiveness  and  employment  objective  and  is  thus  no  longer 
eligible  under  the  Convergence  objective.  The  calculation  of  eligible  structural 
expenditure  for  additionality  purposes  takes  account  of  this  change  in  the  map  of 
convergence regions compared to the period 2000-2006.  

Additionality  tables  cover  the  expenditure  of  ministries,  and  regional  and  local 
administrations. For non-budget expenditure, public enterprise expenditure was included. 

The eligible public expenditure forecast is based on the annual nominal increase of total 
public  expenditure  of  1.7%  envisaged  in  the  Italian  Stability  Programme  (December 
2006). 

Some expenditure related to urban areas has been included in the category ‘Others’.

Latvia 

The whole territory of Latvia is eligible under the Convergence objective. 

Structural expenditure was calculated based on information submitted by line ministries 
on  the  execution  of  their  annual  budgets.  The  additionality  table  also  includes  data  on 
expenditure by local municipalities.  

EN

   EN 

Following the principle of proportionality, the eight biggest Latvian cities were selected 
and  information  on  the  execution  of  their  budgets  (representing  55%  of  the  total 
municipal  budget  in  2005)  was  considered  in  the  additionality  assessment.  Expenditure 
by  public  companies  in  the  period  2007-2013  was  estimated  at  0.5%  of  the  total 
expenditure under each category where expenditure by public companies is possible. 

The national public or equivalent structural expenditure outside the NSRF was calculated 
on  the  assumption  that  this  expenditure  is,  on  average,  proportional  to  GDP,  which  is 
estimated to grow at a sustainable rate of above 5% annually. 

The increase in the level of structural expenditure to be maintained in the period 2007-
2013 is explained, mainly, by a forecasted very positive macroeconomic scenario.

Lithuania 

The whole territory of Lithuania is eligible under the Convergence objective. 

The  bulk  of  the  expenditure  was  calculated  on  the  basis  of  information  from  the  state 
budget.  These  appropriations  include  state  and  municipal  expenditure.  The  remainder 
comes  from  the  State  Social  Insurance  Employment  Fund  and  major  public  enterprises 
(based upon criteria agreed with the Commission).1 

In the first two cases, the source of information is official data from the reports submitted 
to the Seimas (Parliament) of the Republic of Lithuania. In the third case, the source is 
official information provided by the relevant companies to their founders or owners.

Malta 

The whole territory of Malta is eligible under the Convergence objective. 

Actual  structural  expenditure  in  the  reference  period  2004-2005  (EUR  103.3  million  in 
2006 prices) does not match expenditure in the ex post verification exercise for the period 
2004-2006  (EUR  160.3  million  in  1999  prices)  because  the  expenditure  incurred  in 
building  the  new  Mater  Dei  Hospital,  corresponding  to  an  annual  average  of  €79,604 
million in 1999 prices in the reference period, has been excluded for both periods. This 
expenditure is considered an exceptional item of public structural expenditure as agreed 
between  Malta  and  the  European  Commission  in  the  2004-2006  Single  Programming 
Document. 

1

Expenditure  by  state  companies  or  state-owned  companies  is  included  in  the  calculations  if  the 
companies meet the following criteria: they fulfil a public function explicitly delegated to them by 
the State; the State holds at least 50% of their shares; they are not leased for a period longer than 
10 years; and no decision has been adopted on the sale of more than 50% of their shares or on their 
lease for more than 10 years.

privatised.  These  are  the  Enemalta  Corporation,  the  Water  Services  Corporation,  the 
Malta Maritime Authority and Malta Industrial Parks.

Poland 

The whole territory of Poland is eligible under the Convergence objective. 

Structural expenditure was  calculated based on the  budgets  of  the government, regions, 
municipalities and public enterprises. This expenditure was calculated by the Ministry of 
Finance  on  the  basis  of  reports  on  structural  expenditure  drafted  by  all  public  sector 
bodies. At sub-national level, structural expenditure in the eligible fields was calculated 
on  the  basis  of  a  sample  of  496  administrative  units.  Specific  indices  were  used  to 
estimate  overall  public  eligible  structural  expenditure  at  sub-national  level  from  the 
information collected for the units included in the sample. Public enterprises for which a 
decision  on  privatisation  was  taken  before  the  end  of  2005  were  excluded  from  the 
calculations. 

A  new  methodology  was  used  to  set  the  spending  profile  to  be  maintained  during  the 
period 2007-2013. These calculations were  based  on  an annual average rate increase  of 
5.2% of GDP.  

http://www.mrr.gov.pl/English/Strony/default.aspx 

Portugal 

The  regions  eligible  under  the  Convergence  objective  in  Portugal  are  Norte,  Centro, 
Alentejo, Algarve and Açores.  

Some  modifications  regarding  the  type  of  expenditure  taken  into  account  have  been 
included  in  the  ex ante  verification  of  additionality  for  2007-2013,  reflecting  the 
redefinition of the public sector (several public companies were sold off), and changes in 
the map of the convergence regions in relation to the period 2000-2006 (all Portuguese 
territory was eligible under the former Objective 1) as Lisbon and Madeira are no longer 
eligible.  

The  redefinition  of  public  enterprises  had  an  annual  average  impact  of  about  EUR  834 
million  less  to  be  considered.  As  for  the  revision  of  the  convergence  regions  map,  the 
exclusion of non-convergence regions for the period 2007-2013 led to an annual average 
reduction of about EUR 1.5 billion.  

Ex ante verification was also carried out on the basis of specific enquiries to the different 
regional  authorities,  because  of  the  absence  of  regionalised  data  for  the  period  2000-
2005.  

The  category  ‘Others’  includes  expenditure  to  improve  the  design  and  monitoring  of 
programmes  through  technical  assistance,  as  well  as  urban  and  rural  integrated  projects 
and other social infrastructure.

Romania 

The eight NUTS II Romanian regions are eligible under the Convergence objective. As 
this Member State joined the European Union in 2007, this was the first time verification 
was undertaken. 

A  methodology  was  prepared  by  the  Ministry  of  Public  Finance  based  on  Commission 
Working  Document  No 3.2  The  Ministry  of  Public  Finance  and  the  relevant  line 
ministries identified the relevant budget headings and items covering structural spending. 

The  categories  taken  into  account  in  constructing  the  additionality  tables  were  the 
national programmes financed from the state budget and other public sources; structural 
expenditure from local budgets; external loans contracted by public institutions; EU pre-
accession  funds  and  the  corresponding  public  co-financing;  Structural  Fund  allocations 
2007-2013  under  the  Convergence  objective  and  public  co-financing  for  the  Structural 
Funds and the Cohesion Fund. 

The financial data used for the reference period (2004-2005) are the annual averages of 
actual structural expenditure, according to the budget execution for the relevant years. 

The annual average of planned structural expenditure for the period 2007-2013 is mainly 
based on data from the State Budget for 2007 and the medium-term budget perspectives 
for  2008-2010  (as  approved  by  the  Parliament  in  December  2006),  plus  the  financial 
programming  of  operational  programmes  under  the  Convergence  objective.  As  regards 
public enterprises, since their share in total capital investment is marginal, they have been 
included under the national investment programmes. 

Slovak Republic 

The whole  of the  Slovak territory is  eligible under  the  Convergence  objective,  with  the 
exception of the capital region Bratislava. 

Additionality tables cover the expenditure of ministries, their budgetary and contributory 
organisations,  and  state  funds  (the  Environmental  Fund).  Regional  self-government 
includes the reports of municipalities and higher territorial units, together with budgetary 
and  contributory  organisations  set  up  by  them.  Non-budget  structural  expenditure  by 
public enterprises3
 which are not going to be privatised and will remain in state ownership 
is  included  in  the  verification  exercise.  By  contrast,  structural  expenditure  relating  to 
public  enterprises  whose  privatisation  has  been  concluded  or  is  ongoing  was  excluded 
from the exercise. 

As the Bratislava region is not included in the Convergence objective regions, data from 
the Bratislava region were excluded. However, there are many organisations which have

Slovenia 

The whole territory of Slovenia is eligible under the Convergence objective. 

To determine eligible expenditure, structural expenditure from the budget of the Republic 
of Slovenia, local government budgets and extra-budgetary funds was taken into account.  

Structural expenditure from the budget of the Republic of Slovenia was determined at the 
level of sub-programmes in the national budget classification. For local expenditure, data 
submitted  to  the  Ministry  of  Finance  by  the  210  municipalities  were  used.  Extra-
budgetary funds relevant to eligible expenditure were also taken into account to construct 
the additionality tables. 

http://www.svlr.gov.si/index.php?id=719&no_cache=1  

Spain 

The regions eligible under the Convergence objective in the period 2007-2013 in Spain 
are  Andalucía,  Castilla-la  Mancha,  Extremadura  and  Galicia,  for  the  whole  period  and 
Asturias, Murcia and the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla under the ‘phasing-out’ 
system.  

The  additionality  tables  cover  the  structural  expenditure  of  ministries  and  the  different 
regional  and  local  administrations.  For  non-budget  structural  expenditure,  public 
enterprise  expenditure  was  included.  Potential  company  privatisations  were  also  taken 
into  account  in  determining  which  companies  should  be  considered  in  the  ex ante 
additionality evaluation. 

Some adjustments in the type of expenditure to be included in the ex ante verification of 
additionality  for  2007-2013  reflect  changes  in  the  map  of  the  convergence  regions  in 
relation  to  the  period  2000-2006.  Castilla  y  León,  Canary  Islands  Cantabria  and 
Comunidad  Valenciana  are  no  longer  eligible  under  the  Convergence  objective  in  the 
new programming period.  

The  eligible  structural  expenditure  forecast  is  based  on  an  annual  nominal  increase  of 
total public expenditure of 6.6%. 

http://www.dgfc.sgpg.meh.es  

United Kingdom 

Regions eligible under the Convergence objective in the United Kingdom are Cornwall, 
the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and West Wales and the Valleys. 

Structural expenditure was calculated based on the applicable structural expenditure lines 
in  HM  Treasury’s  public  expenditure  database.  This  database  covers  all  spending  by

central  and  local  government  and  other  public  bodies.  Structural  expenditure  in 
Convergence  regions  was  estimated  using  the  relevant  national  or  regional  expenditure 
lines, corrected by the share of population.
