PROGRAMMING UNDER SHARED MANAGEMENT  

Programming  involves  choosing  and  setting  objectives,  deciding  a  strategy, 
allocating 
services  and  works, 
selecting  projects,  contracting 
implementing  and  monitoring  progress,  paying  expenditure  and  delivering  outputs 
and results. 

resources, 

Under the 'shared management' system, national and regional authorities directly 
supervise  project  selection  and  the  monitoring  of  progress,  payments  and 
outputs (amongst other tasks).  

The  Commission  can  aggregate  only  a  limited  set  of  quantified  measures  of 
implementation in  terms  of outputs/beneficiaries (by programme),  on  payments (by 
programme but not currently by theme) and on inputs (financial support for projects 
selected by theme). These quantified data give an EU overview, albeit if limited, 
of the implementation of programmes at EU level.

MONITORING AND MEASURING OUTPUTS AND RESULTS 

3.1. 

ERDF/Cohesion Fund core indicators 

3.1.1.  Concept and purpose 

During the negotiations on the ERDF and Cohesion Fund operational programmes 
(OPs) for 2007-2013, the Commission recommended1 the use of 'core indicators' for 
the main - but by far not all - intervention areas such as business support, education, 
environment,  health,  job  creation,  information  society,  research  development  and 
innovation,  tourism,  transport  and  urban  development.  The  purpose  of  core 
indicators is to provide aggregated information across Member States. 

The  Member  States  and  the  Commission  are  using  the  current  period  to 
establish reporting routines and to detect problems in the practical application 
of core indicators. The use of core indicators is not a legal obligation for Member 
States in 2007-2013. However, in the desire to improve their accountability in the use 
of the Funds, Member States and Commission have undertaken to make a particular 
effort  to  use  and  report  against  core  indicators.  2007-2013  is  the  first  period  when 
such information has been available across programmes.  

For  2014-2020,  Member  States  and  the  Commission  have  agreed  that  the  use  of 
common  output  indicators  will  become  an  obligation.  The  Commission  has  been 
working with Member States on the list of common indicators and their definitions 
for  the  last  two  years,  to  ensure  that  systems  are  set  up  and  reliable  data  reported 
from the beginning of the next programming period. 

Core  indicators  represent  basic  information  on  the  activity  of  the  Funds.  In  most 
cases  they  capture  outputs  as  a  direct  consequence  of  cohesion  policy,  such  as 
kilometres  of  railway  constructed  or  the  number  of  students  benefiting  from  better 
education  infrastructure.  This  means  that  core  indicators  do  not  reflect  the 
objectives of programmes or the policy as a whole. Objectives are reflected in result 
indicators - that are programme specific and cannot therefore be aggregated - and the 
qualitative comments provided by Member States in annual implementation reports 
and strategic reports. 

Great caution should also be exercised concerning the comparability of core indicator 
data for the calculation of unit costs. The key reason for this is that the underlying 
projects are often not comparable (e.g. roads in mountainous areas compared to roads 
in flat areas).  

Reporting by Member States 

All Member States submitted data on core indicators in their national strategic 
reports.  All  41  core  indicators  were  used  but  not  necessarily  by  all  relevant 
programmes.  The  Commission  has  aggregated  the  reported  values  for  all  core 
indicators in Table 1.1.  

The  frequency  of  use  of  the  core  indicators  varied  significantly.  Jobs  created, 
Number  of  RTD  projects,  Number  of  cooperation  projects  enterprises-research 
institutions,  Number  of  start-ups  supported  are  the  indicators  most  frequently 
reported by Member States. A summary of the number of core indicators used by the

Member  States  in  their  national  reports  or  supporting  documents  features  is 
contained in Table 1.2. 

The  detailed  reporting  on  to  the  ERDF  /  Cohesion  Fund  core  indicators  is  further 
examined in the relevant thematic factsheets2 in terms of the overall achievements of 
the Member state, the scope of reporting, setting of targets and achievements against 
targets. 

3.1.2.  Commentary on the ERDF / Cohesion Fund data on 'Jobs created (gross)' 

The Commission’s aggregation of gross jobs created with the support of the ERDF 
and the Cohesion Fund as reported by Member States is presented in Table 1.3. The 
cut-off date for reporting is the end of 2011 for most Member States. Five Member 
States provided figures up to the end of June 2012 (EE, CZ, MT, RO and BG). 

For calculating the data presented in Table 1.3 the Commission used data reported by 
Member States under core indicator 01 – 'jobs created'. When this information was 
not  available,  the  Commission  included  data  from  indicators  06  –  'research  jobs 
created' and/or 09 – 'jobs created – direct investment aid to SMEs'. The reported jobs 
created are full time equivalents and exclude temporary jobs (such as jobs linked to 
construction works). 

The number of jobs created is a figure attracting particular attention in times of high 
unemployment. The reported numbers are based on a comparison of the number of 
jobs  before  and  after  project  implementation.  This  approach  -  called  gross  job 
creation here - delivers information aggregated from the supported projects. 

These figures need to be interpreted with caution. It is likely for example that not all 
programmes are reporting 'jobs created' when relevant. Also, the number of jobs may 
be  overestimated  in  some  cases  because  of  difficulties  in  taking  account  of 
deadweight in individual projects or substitution effects at a higher level. Estimating 
'net  jobs  created',  taking  into  account  such  factors,  requires  other  techniques  that, 
however, cannot deliver in as timely a manner as the reporting based on gross jobs. 

The  Commission  has  asked  its  Expert  Evaluation  Network  to  look  more  closely  at 
national and regional practices in reporting jobs created during 2013. The report will 
be available in June 2013. 

3.1.3. 

Strengths and weaknesses of the data reported  

Core  indicators,  presenting  mainly  measures  of  outputs,  provide  a  relatively  up-to 
date picture of implementation progress. However, they significantly under represent 
the  number  and  variety  of  co-financed  actions.  This  is  because  the  chosen  core 
indicators cover only those frequent actions present in many programmes. A variety 
of actions are undertaken which do not give rise to outputs measured by the selected 
core indicators. 

The quality of data is affected by the fact that sometime not all Member States have 
used the same or comparable definitions recommended by the Commission.  

It  still  happens  that  reports  delivered  by  Member  States  include  simple,  but 
consequential  errors.  In  a  number  of  cases  units  of  reporting  have  been  mixed  up 
(e.g.,  Megawatt  hours  instead  of  Megawatts,  use  of  national  currency  instead  of 
Euro).  Even  a  small  number  of  such  outliers  can  render  the  immediate  use  of  the 
reported  information  difficult.  In  some  cases  differences  occurred  between  annual

implementation reports and strategic reports although both reports relate to the same 
cut-off date. 

The  Commission  has  recommended  the  use  of  data  on  implemented  projects. 
Member States have increasingly followed this recommendation in their reporting.  

Target  setting  remains  perhaps  the  most  widespread  and  substantial  problem.  In  a 
number  of  cases  targets  have  not  been  set.  Where  targets  are  set  many  are  often 
substantially over- or underachieved.  

The  Commission  carried  out  a  considerable  number  of  plausibility  checks  which 
excluded  outliers,  corrected  obvious  errors,  compared  information  in  the  strategic 
reports with information available from annual implementation reports and, given the 
time constraints, verified a limited amount of data with Member States. In the case of 
doubt,  information  was  not  included  in  the  Commission's  strategic  report  –  Tables 
1.1 and 1.3 - or in the thematic factsheets3. 

Improving  this  situation  is  a  very  real  challenge  for  the  future.  However,  the 
Commission  believes  that  transparency  in  publishing  the  data  reported  and  their 
analysis in conjunction with data on project selection and expenditure is a necessary 
step  to  further  improvement.  The  Commission  will  work  with  Member  States  over 
the  remainder  of  the  current  period,  to  ensure  better-quality  annual  and  final 
reporting of targets and achievements for this period in preparation for more robust 
monitoring and reporting in the period 2014-2020. 

3.2. 

ESF indicator data 

Programme  authorities  provide  data  on  participants  in  ESF  funded  schemes  and 
projects  under  the  ESF  provisions  on  reporting  (Regulation  (EC)  No 1828/2006  - 
Annex  XXIII).  The  aggregate  and  Member  State  data  are  presented  in  Tables  2.1, 
2.2. and 2.3.  

Regarding  the  ESF,  the  number  of  participants  increased  sharply,  from  almost  1 
million  in  2007  to  15.6  million  in  2010.  This  increase  is  largely  due  to  the 
advancement  of  the  programming  period,  as  projects  are  set  up  before  enlisting 
participants.  Nevertheless,  the  current  number  of  participants  is  significantly  -  over 
50 % - higher than at the equivalent time in the previous programming period, where 
there were around 10 million participants annually. Since 2010, the level has reached 
a plateau suggesting that ESF activities have reached a high level, but are no longer 
increasing. 

Within this increasing number of participations, there have been significant changes 
in  the  proportion  of  individuals  from  different  ESF  beneficiary  groups  (Table  2.2 
and 2.3). The Commission has identified five key trends for the different groups.  

•  Help  was  redirected  from  getting  people  into  work  toward  preventive  actions 
aimed at keeping people in employment. Between 2007 and 2011, the proportion 
of  ESF  participants  who  were  unemployed  reduced  fell  from  52 %  to  29 %. 
Despite this decrease in proportion, the number of participants remained relatively 
constant between 2010 and 2011. By contrast, over the same period the proportion 
of employed participants increased from 26 % to 37 %.  

While  two  thirds  of  all  participants  are  either  inactive  or  unemployed,  these 
groups account for less than 30 % in LU, NL and SE where the programmes focus

strongly  rather  on  enhancing  the  skills  of  employed  people.  In  some  Member 
States  (BG,  CZ,  EL,  HU,  IT  and  PL)  young  people  in  education  or  in  training 
account for more than one third of all participants. In others (AT, CY, PT, SE and 
UK) these are less than 5 %% of the total4. 

•  There  was  an  increased  focus  on  participants  with  tertiary  education  levels.  In 
2007 participants with at most a lower secondary education accounted for 55 % of 
all participations. This was gradually reduced to 44 % over the next 4 years, even 
though  the  number  increased  in  absolute  terms.  By  contrast,  the  proportion  of 
participants  with  tertiary  education  level  doubled  between  2008  and  2011.  This 
was linked to a similar rise in the proportion participants who were in education 
and training in the same period.   

In  DE,  EL  and  MT  participants  with  at  most  a  lower  secondary  education 
accounted for  over 60 %  of all participants but less than 20 % in FI, SE, SI and 
CY. In CY, EE, LT and SI, 40 % or more have tertiary education. 

•  Throughout  2007-11  the  proportion  of  people  from  vulnerable  groups  remained 
constant  -  at  around  18 %  -  despite  the  pressures  of  the  crisis.  Although  the 
situation  varies  nationally,  UK  and  AT  seem  to  be  particularly  successful  in 
reaching out to people with some form of disability. Others, notably AT, CY, NL 
and LV are successful in using the ESF to support people from a minority or with 
migrant background.

The  trend  in  the  UK  is  the  contrary:  the  proportion  of  unemployed  ESF  participants  has  increased 
substantially

•  Women continued to represent over half (52 %) of participants. In CY, EE, LT 
and LV they amount to more than 60 %. In the UK women form only 38 % of 
participants.  

• 

For young people, the proportion of participants first decreased in 2009, before 
increasing  over  the  next  two  years  to  31 %.  This  represents  an  increase  in 
proportion  while  overall  numbers  of  participants  were  also  increasing, 
indicating a significant rise in youth participants. 

In  DE,  FR  and  HU  young  people  account  for  40 %%  or  more  of  all 
participants.  The  Scandinavian  and  Baltic  Member  States,  SI  and  SK  have  a 
much higher proportion of older workers than average.

DATA AVAILABLE ON THEMATIC PROGRESS AND PROJECT SELECTION 

4.1. 

Payment data 

Achieving  the  outputs  and  support  to  beneficiaries  requires  spending  on  works  and 
services  just  as  spending  requires  projects  to  be  selected  and  financed.  All  the 
national  reports  comment  on  the  spending  of  the  available  EU  financing  on  the 
ground and the declaration of expenditure to the Commission. 

In the current programmes payment declarations to the Commission are broken down 
by  the  'priority  axes'  (or  the  main  priorities)  of  the  programmes.  That  level  of 
reporting  is  not  sufficiently  detailed  to  allow  an  analysis  of  declared  expenditure 
through the priority themes codes. 

EN 

7 

   EN 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Tables  3.1-3.3  compare  total  expenditure  declared  by  each  Member  State  to  the 
Commission with the volume of projects selected by end-2011. The total payments 
declared include for this purpose reimbursements already made by the Commission 
and the additional claims presented to the Commission as at 31 January 2013. The 
different cut off dates should be noted.  

The payment data used do not include  

– 

– 

expenditure incurred on the ground but not yet declared to the Commission  

sums linked to exemptions from the rules on spending discipline (N+2/3 rule) 
for major projects, state aid schemes or judicial procedures.  

Nonetheless,  these  figures  represent  the  best  source  of  information  available  to  the 
Commission on spending in the real economy.  

The following points are worth noting in Tables 3.1-3.3:  

– 

– 

– 

– 

Only 42 % of all EU resources during the programme period were spent after 
almost 6 years of the period as at 31/1/2013.  

Expenditure  claims  covering  58 %  of  EU  financing  are  still  to  be  declared  to 
the  Commission  in  the  remaining  3  years  allowed  for  spending  under  the 
programme period. 

Low  levels  of  interim  expenditure  have  been  declared  to  the  Commission  by 
RO, BG, MT, CZ, SK, IT and HU. 

Some  Member  States  have  high  levels  of  selection  but  lower  levels  of 
expenditure declared. Therefore, project selection is not always a reliable guide 
to future spending. 

4.2. 

Project selection 

The 'thematic' information exchange system used for all three funds is known as the 
'categorisation system' and allows the exchange of information on projects, schemes 
and  measures  financed  by  the  Funds  at  different  times  during  programming.  The 
system is not a control system but an information tool. 

Five dimensions are reported on in order to systematically capture information on the 
nature, form, context and content of interventions. These dimensions allow reporting 
that approximately reflects the often complex character of many interventions in the 
real world. They are:  

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

the priority theme (nature – 86 codes – see Table 4); 

the form of finance (4 codes); 

the territorial dimension (11 codes on the context – See the thematic factsheet 
on the territorial Dimension5); 

the NUTS code for location; 

the economic dimension (economic sector benefitting – 23 codes).  

In terms of timing, categorisation information is reported upon as follows:  

5 

http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/how/policy/strategic_report_en.cfm  

EN 

8 

   EN 

 
                                                 
•  Information  on  estimated  allocations  to  selected  projects  is  presented  at  the 
moment  of  adoption  (or  modification)  of  programming  documents  (Only  on  the 
priority themes, the form of finance and the territorial dimension).  

•  The Member States provide the Commission every year (and in the final report) 
with  information  on  all  five  dimensions  relating  to  'allocations  to  operations 
selected' (also referred to as 'selected projects'). 

The objective in providing information on selected projects is to give an insight into 
the  'project  pipeline' of the  OPs. Data  on 'selected  projects'  should  not  be  confused 
with expenditure declared on the projects during implementation or when completed. 
(As note already above the programmes do not currently report the thematic content 
of expenditure to the Commission.) 

The understanding of 'selected project' recommended by the Commission since 2008-
20096  is  that  the  projects  have  been  selected  by  the  Managing  Authority  (or  other 
delegated  bodies)  following  the  established  selection  process.  This  act  of  selection 
may  typically  involve  a  grant  decision  (such  as  a  grant  offer  letter),  or  other 
confirmation  of  inclusion  of  the  project  in  the  programme  or  allocation  of  EU 
funding from the programme. National practices differ and are not regulated by EU 
definitions.  Some  variation  in  practice  is  to  be  expected  and  so  direct  comparisons 
between Member State project selection rates can be unreliable because of different 
national selection processes (more or less rigorous or complex) or differences in the 
composition  of  the  programmes  at  national  /  regional  level.  Furthermore,  'softer' 
measures,  such  as  business  support,  training  services,  etc.,  can  be  prepared  and 
delivered  more  quickly  than  'slower'  infrastructure  projects  (longer  planning, 
permissions,  contracting.  For 
these  reasons  the  Commission  recommends 
comparing  national  project  selection  rates  to  the  EU  average  rather  than 
directly with other individual Member States.  

4.2.1.  Thematic analysis of planned investments by priority theme codes 

The 86 codes of the 'priority theme' dimension - the most robust of the categorisation 
data  sets  –  can  be  organised  in  different  ways  according  to  the  perspective  being 
adopted.  

To reflect the shift towards the Europe 2020 strategic objectives of smart, sustainable 
and  inclusive  growth,  and  in  order  to  roughly  approximate  the  Commission’s 
proposals  for  the  eleven  thematic  objectives  for  cohesion  policy  2014-2020  the  86 
codes have been regrouped for the 2013 Strategic report as set out in Table 4. 

The Commission emphasises that these major thematic groupings proposed are only 
a rough approximation of the future thematic priorities for the following reasons: 

•  Following the approach in the 2010 Strategic Report, certain ESF interventions (in 
high-level human capital and business start-up) continued to be included under the 
calculations for 'Innovation & R&D' and 'Other Business Support'. In future they 
will be reported under the relevant ESF thematic objectives. 

•  Environment,  climate  change  adaptation actions  and  risk  prevention  are  covered 

in one factsheet.

•  The  major  transport  themes  of  Rail-Road-Other Transport, which will fall under 
future  thematic  objective  7  –  'sustainable  transport  and  removing  bottlenecks  in 
key network infrastructures' - are dealt with separately for more detailed analysis. 

•  In future  most territorial development activities will be developed under or with 
support from different thematic objectives; i.e. culture and heritage support could 
be  included  under  enhancing  the  competitiveness  of  SMEs,  protecting  the 
environment or social inclusion thematic objectives.  

4.2.2.  Overview of progress in project selection by priority themes 

Table  5  provides  overviews  of  the  differing  project  selection  rates,  across  the 
different objectives, in line with the major themes set out in Table 4.  

The  broad  trends  in  project  selection  shown  by  these  tables  are  explored  in  more 
detail in the thematic factsheets7.  

Basd  on  the  analysis  in  the  thematic  factsheets  the  following  variations  in  projects 
selection rate reported at end-2011 are highlighted by the Commission:

4.2.3.  Example of project selection data - Technical Assistance 

The tables below on the planned use of technical assistance (TA) provide an example 
of the analysis that is possible of the 'programmed vs project selection' This example 
is chosen as TA data is not covered in the thematic factsheet on the major investment 
themes.

Some  2.9 %  -  or  EUR  10.2  billion  -  of  all  EU  Structural  and  Cohesion  Funding  is 
allocated  to  TA.  The  maximum  allowed  under  the  regulations  is  4 %  in  the 
Convergence and Regional Competitiveness and Employment programmes and 6 % 
in European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) programmes. In comparison with the EU 
average  rate  of  71 %  project  selection  the  category  'Preparation,  implementation, 
monitoring and inspection' at 64.4 % shows a slight delay of 7 %. What is notable, 
and of more concern, is that 'Evaluation and studies; information and communication' 
is  especially  slow  at  only  42.8 %.  These  figures  already  take  into  account  a  net 
reduction of EUR 416 million in programmed finances since 2007.

rates in relation to current planned amounts, representing this graphically as follows:

4.2.4.  CSG priorities 2006 and Lisbon earmarking 

For the 2010 Strategic Report the priority themes were analysed mainly according to 
the  four  pillars  of  the  Community  Strategic  Guidelines  (2006)  and  in  terms  of 
compliance with the Lisbon earmarking provisions. 

The  'Lisbon  earmarking'  provisions  identified  sub-sets  of  the  86  priority  themes  as 
specific  priorities  under  the  Lisbon  Growth  and  Jobs  Agenda  in  accordance  with 

EN 

12 

   EN 

 
 
 
Article  9  and  Annex  IV  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1083/20068.  For  the 
Convergence  objective  regions  47  of  the  86  priority  themes  were  identified  as 
earmarked  priorities,  while  for  the  Regional  Competitiveness  and  Employment 
objective  regions  33  priority  themes  were  identified.  Investment  shares  of  60 %  in 
Convergence  objective  regions  and  75 %  in  Regional  Competitiveness  and 
Employment objective regions were set as targets for the EU-15 in these earmarked 
themes over the programming period. 

A  small  number  of  Member  States  -  CY,  EL,  ES,  FR,  PT  -  agreed  with  the 
Commission  a  limited  number  of  national  exceptions  ('national  earmarking')  i.e. 
including certain priority theme codes as national Lisbon earmarked priorities9. 

With  regard  to  support  to  Lisbon  and  EU2020  structural  reforms,  most  Member 
States (notably BG, ES, HU, PL and SK) report that the ESF has been a key tool in 
preserving  employment  and  containing  unemployment, 
in  particular  youth 
unemployment,  and  supporting  the  modernisation  of  the  education  sector  and 
strengthening the labour market through reforms of the active labour market policies 
and  education  systems.  Moreover,  in  these  Member  States  important  ESF  support 
was also provided to public administration reform through training of civil servants 
and better regulation measures.  

Thirteen  Member  States  have  specifically  reported  on  reforms  in  the  education 
sector, with the following main objectives: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

Reaching the EU2020 strategy targets (AT, BG and LT); 

Increase investment in human capital through better education and skills (CY);  

Improve competitiveness (CZ); 

Reintegrate unemployed people (DK); 

Adjust education systems to labour market demand (HU, LT, SE and SK). 

Specific  reform  measures  undertaken  related  to  preschool  education  (CZ);  tertiary 
education  (CZ,  HU,  LT,  MT  and  PL);  improving  teaching  quality  (CZ);  vocational 
training (DK). 

Table  6.1  and  6.2  present  compliance  with  the  Lisbon  earmarking  in  line  with  the 
Community Strategic Guidelines objectives in the same format as in the 2010 Report. 
In aggregate terms the most significant trend is the growing gap in project selection 
under Lisbon earmarking for Convergence.  

• 

• 

• 

• 

In  comparison  with  non-earmarked  priorities,  66.8 %  project  selection  for 
earmarked  priorities  was  reported  at  end  2011  compared  to  76.3 %  for  non-
earmarked priorities (Table 6.1).  

Under  the  Convergence  objective,  particular  lags  in  project  selection  rates  in 
earmarked themes occur in ES, IT, MT, PL, PT, RO, SI, and SK.  

Under the Regional Competitiveness and Employment (RCE) objective project 
selection  for  Lisbon  earmarking  is  ahead  overall  of  Non  Lisbon  -  76.8 % 
selected vs 75.4 for non Lisbon.  

Under RCE, the selection of Lisbon earmarking related projects is behind the 
71 % global average at end-2011 only in AT, ES, HU, IT.

As  the  data  used  for  the  Community  Strategic  Guidelines  /  Lisbon  Earmarking 
exercise and the thematic factsheets is identical (it is just presented differently) the 
reasons for the lower Lisbon earmarking rate of priorities in Convergence can also be 
seen  in  the  thematic  factsheet  in  the  slower  than  average  project  selection  in  the 
themes (and categories) of innovation and R&D, Broadband, Energy, TEN-T rail. 

4.2.1.  Characteristics of data reported on project selection 

Project  selection  data  on  its  own  cannot  provide  a  completely  reliable  guide  to  the 
rate of implementation of a programme. In some case high project selection rates are 
not quickly turned into payment declarations (see Section 4.1 above).  

In addition, apart from the character of the categorisation  system already  described 
above  (differences  in  selection  processes  or  in  nature  of  measures)  the  system 
depends either on common sense understandings of the meaning of the codes or on 
national definitions (urban / rural) and these can vary.  

Conscious  of  these  constraints  the  Commission  has  encouraged  Member  States  to 
decide  on  their  approach  and  to  follow  it  consistently  so  that  the  system  is  an 
accurate reflection of implementation.  

There have also been mistakes or oversights in annual reporting of data. In its quality 
checks in recent years the Commission has detected: 

•  Weak  quality  /  plausibility  checks  at  programme  or  national  level  of  what  is 
reported. Some programme authiorities were slow to realise the significance of 
the data.  

• 

Encoding errors such as the use of national currency rather than EUR, total cost 
rather than EU share, partial reporting or erroneous amounts reported that were 
not consistent with the narrative of the reports. 

• 

Lags in reporting of project selection by programme authorities. 

The  data  from  the  2011  annual  reports  submitted  by  30  June  2012  were  thus  the 
subject of quality checks by the Commission and programme authorities from July to 
October 2012. Major corrections were made leading to improvements in the quality 
and volume of project selection data, affecting a net 5 % of the total reported volume 
of projects selected. 

4.3.  Major projects 

By  end-2012  the  total  number  of  major  projects  (projects  with  a  value  exceeding 
EUR  50  million)  approved  by  the  Commission  had  reached  438.  These  projects 
encompass  a  total  investment  of  EUR  76.8  billion  in  20  Member  States  with  EUR 
36.1  billion  in  EU  support  from  the  ERDF  or  the  Cohesion  Fund.  These  figures 
confirm a consistently high rhythm of Commission's approvals. Cohesion policy thus 
in  essential 
contributes  significantly 
infrastructure, supporting public and some important private capital investments and 
creating the preconditions for growth.

The Commission has received an increasing number of applications in recent months 
in view of the approaching end of the funding period. In total, 718 projects have been 
submitted since 2007. The possibility to submit already completed project, as an anti-
crisis measure, generally had a negative impact on the possibility for the Commission 
to have an early influence on projects and on the quality of submitted major projects 
subsequently received.  

The majority of projects are in the transport area. Major projects for 2007-2013 have 
so  far  been  are  contributing  so  far  to  the  development  of  the  TEN-T  network  with 
EUR 32.5 billion in total investments triggered by a contribution of EUR 16.7 billion 
from  the  ERDF  and  CF.  A  further  EUR  15.8  billion  has  been  leveraged  for  other 
transport  investments.  Other  important  areas  are  environment,  R&I  and  productive 
investments.

Project examples from the Member States 

The national reports contain over 250 concrete examples of projects and programmes 
selected by the Member States. The Member States were asked to present completed 
projects from the 2007-2013 programmes across the range of activities contributing 
to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.  

The full texts of all the examples are available in the national reports which can be 
accessed here : 
http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/policy/reporting/index_en.htm  
70 projects examples are presented in summary form in the 13 thematic factsheets10. 
Around 45 of those project examples come from the national strategic reports. The 
Commission  is  including  those  projects  from  the  national  strategic  reports  in  its 
project databases.

PROGRAMMING DECIDED – REPROGRAMMING 

In  support  of  the  initial  EU  financing  decisions  the  Member  State  or  regional 
programme authorities provide 

•  financial tables setting out EU financial support and co-financing rates (for each 

priority axis of the programme) and 

•  'categorisation'  information  on  the  planned  use  of  the  Funds  in  relation  to 

investment themes called 'priority themes' 

Comparing  the  original  and  revised  programme  financial  tables  and  categorisation 
data  we  can  examine  formally  decided  'reprogramming'  in  terms  of  (1)  changes  to 
planned  thematic  allocation  and  (2)  increases  or  decreases  in  total  programme 
volumes - in particular national co-financing. These two forms of reprogramming are 
examined below. 

An  important  initiative  to  actively  encourage  reprogramming  was  launched  by  the 
Commission at the January 2012 European Council. To support the Youth initiative, 
President Barroso proposed that the 8 Member States with the most pressing youth 
employment challenges should, with the Commission’s support, seek to accelerate or 
boost available Structural Funds support to both youth employment and the financing 
of  SMEs,  the  major  source  of  job  creation  in  previous  years.  Action  Teams  were 
created in spring 2012 to work intensively with concerned Member States to identify 
available funds and initiatives. The latest report on the activities of the Action Teams 
submitted 
available  here:

5.1. 

Thematic reprogramming 

Tables 7.1 to 7.4 in the annex present an overview of the thematic reprogramming 
activity  formally  decided  by  the  Member  States  and  the  Commission  in  the  period 
2007-2012 (end-December). 

Thematic  reallocations  involve  reducing  the  financial  allocation  in  one  area  to 
redirect  it  to  another.  Thematic  reprogramming  is  therefore  'zero-sum'.  The 
difference  between  'positive'  and  'negative'  changes  in  Table  7.3  (some  EUR  2.4 
billion) is the result of the allocation of the national performance reserve in PL and 
technical GDP/GNI adjustments for CZ, PL and SK.  

In view of the complexity of tracking positive and negative changes over 86 codes 
the  Commission  presents  the  trends  in  thematic  reallocations  in  terms  of  the  major 
thematic areas. Seen like this, there are two major tendencies: 

• 

• 

Reallocations between 'priority theme' codes within major thematic areas.   
(i.e.  from  eco-innovation  measures  in  SMEs  towards  R&D  activity  in 
competence centres under the broad heading 'Innovation and R&D')  

Reallocations between major thematic areas   
(i.e. reallocations from 'human capital' priorities to 'labour market' priorities). 

The main trends visible from the data in tables are: 

•  a total of EUR 36 billion - or 11 % of the funds - was reprogrammed thematically 

by the end of 2012; 

•  the  rate  of  formal  reprogramming  varies  significantly  across  the  Member  States 
(up to 44 % in the case of IE to no thematic reprogramming in CY, LU, and SE); 

•  of that total, more than EUR 30 billion concerned the ERDF and Cohesion Fund 
(11.2 %  of  available  ERDF/CF  funding)  and  nearly  EUR  5.5  billion  the  ESF 
(7.1 % of all ESF funding); 

The net tendencies across the major thematic areas have been: 

•  increases  in  the  innovation  and  R&D,  generic  business  support,  sustainable 

energy, cultural and social infrastructure, roads and labour market themes; 

•  reductions  in  ICT  services,  environment  measures,  rail,  other  transport,  human 

capital and capacity building measures. 

Further  independent  analysis  of  the  data  on  thematic  reprogramming  (using  data 
from an earlier cut-off date) is presented in the Expert Evaluation Network synthesis 
report 201311.

Table  7.5  presents  changes  in  the  total  planned  volume  of  programmes  (EU  and 
national - all EU funds). The table compares the initial planned use of the funds in 
the  programmes  adopted  in  2007-2008  and  the  most  recent  version  of  the 
programmes after modification. 

This  table  reflects  the  Commission  approved  reductions  of  national  co-financing 
requirements for some Member States, within the regulatory ceiling. The combined 
effect  of  these  programme  co-financing  changes  is  a  net  reduction  the  total 
programme  investment  volumes  of  EUR  16.8  Billion  -  with  a  gross  reduction  in 
national  public  financing  of  EUR  15.5  billion  when  the  positive  increases  in  Table 
7.5 are excluded. The national public co-financing reductions represent some 3.1 % 
of the total planned investment or nearly 11 % of national public co-financing. It is 
composed of reductions in public co-financing of 47 % in IE, 41 % in PT, 37 % in 
LV, 34 % in EL, 26 % in ES, 18 % in LT, 16 % in RO; 13 % in BE; 9.6 % in IT with 
other changes amounting to less than 5 % or unchanged.  

The  EU  institutions  also  approved  further  reductions  of  national  co-financing 
through  a  temporary  increase  of  co-financing  rates  up  to  95 %  for  assistance  for 
Member  States  with  the  greatest  budgetary  difficulties  (GR,  HU,  IE,  LV,  PT  and 
RO). 

The objective of both measures has been to take pressure away from national budgets 
at a time of crisis with a view to safeguarding investment in strategies with growth 
and job creation potential. 

Further independent analysis of the data on thematic reprogramming is presented in 
the Expert Evaluation Network synthesis report 20135.
