ANALYSIS PER MEMBER STATE 

Belgium 

The  EFF  operational  programme  (OP)  covers  the  entire  territory  of  Belgium,  which  is 
designated as a non-convergence region (except Hainaut, which is phasing out). 

EFF funds allocated to Belgium for the period 2007-2013 amount to EUR 26 261 648, which 
represents 0.61 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 48 239 502. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

54.3 % for axis 1, 3.0 % for axis 2, 32.4 % for axis 3, 7.2 % for axis 4 and 3.0 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

By the end of 2014, 97.6 % of the original EFF total amount had been committed and 70.5 % 
was certified. 

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 1 762 734 was committed by the Member State ( 6.7 % of 
the total allocation) and EUR 1 159 487 was certified to the Commission. 

Bulgaria 

The OP covers the entire territory of Bulgaria, which is designated as a convergence region. 

EFF  funds  allocated  to  Bulgaria  for  the  period  2007-2013  amounted  to  EUR  80 009 708, 
which  represents  1.85 %  of  the  total  EFF  allocation  for  the  Union.  Following  the  EFF 
decommitment at end-2014, this amount was reduced to EUR 62 783 168.  

Total  public  contribution  was  initially  EUR  106 679 611  which,  following  the  last  OP 
modification of 06.12.2013 dropped to  EUR 101 168 996. The situation was the same at the 
end of 2014 as no OP modification occurred during 2014. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014 7.9 % for axis 1; 47.4 % for axis 2; 
18.4 % for axis 3; 20.9 % for axis 4 and 5.3 % for axis 5 (in line with the last OP modification: 
Commission Decision C(2013) 9036 of 06.12.2013) 

Main implementation aspects: 

Automatic decommitment at the end of 2013: EUR 3 568 501 in convergence regions and at 
the end of 2014: EUR 9 525 078.  The 2014 de-commitment represents 68.27 % of the 2011 
annual allocation and 11.90 % of the initial, total EFF allocation. 

By the end of 2014, an amount of EUR 76 074 756,9 was committed, which represents 97 % 
of  the  original  EFF  total  amount   of  EUR  78  071  718.91.  Also,  an  amount  of  EUR  36  073 
199,59 was certified to the Commission by end 2014, which represents 46,20% of the original 
EFF allocation.  

In 2014 only, 16.87 % of the original EFF total amount (EUR 13 504 806.83)  was committed 
from EFF by the Member State.  

The last OP modification occurred in 2013 with the Commission Decision C(2013) 9036 of 
06/12/2013.  The  de-commitments  experienced  at  the  end  of  2013  and  2014  are  still  to  be 
reflected in a modified OP.

Czech Republic 

The OP covers the entire territory of the Czech Republic with the exception of Prague region, 
and it is designated as a convergence region. 

EFF  funds  allocated  to  the  Czech  Republic  for  the  period  2007-2013  amount  to  EUR 
27 106 675, which represents 0.63 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 36 142 234. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

61 % for axis 2, 34 % for axis 3, and 5.0 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

The n+2 rule in 2014 has been met and the need to decommit eliminated. 

Following  the  introduction  of  corrective  measures  by  the  CZ  authorities  in  2014,  the  COM 
accepted with follow-up the revised 2012 and 2013 ACRs and CZ was able to resume interim 
payments.  The  CA  submitted  on  19  Dec  2014  a  new  payment  claim  of  EUR  3.25  M  from 
which the ineligible expenditure of EUR 1.23 M had been deducted.  

By the end of 2014, 91 % of the original EFF total amount had been committed and 70 % was 
certified. 

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 2 135 905.83 was committed by the Member State ( 8 % of 
the  total  allocation)  and  EUR  3  253  164.63  EFF-related  expenditure  was  certified  to  the 
Commission.

EFF  funds  allocated  to  Germany  for  the  period  2007-2013  amount  to  EUR  146  581  662, 
which represents 3.4 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 228 589 168. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

 2.3 % for axis 1, 29.5 % for axis 2, 49.8 % for axis 3, 16.1 % for axis 4 and 2.4 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

Automatic  decommitment  at  the  end  of  2014:  EUR  3  148  234  in  convergence  regions, 
representing 23 % of the annual allocation; and EUR 2 135 953 in non-convergence regions, 
which represents 24 % of the annual allocation. 

By the end of 2014, 76 % of the original EFF total amount had been committed and 61 % was 
certified. 

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 11 997 513, was committed by the Member State ( 8 % of 
the total allocation) and EUR 11 800 128 was certified to the Commission. 

Estonia 

The OP covers the entire territory of Estonia, which is designated as a convergence region. 

EFF funds allocated to Estonia for the period 2007-2013 amount to EUR 84 568 039, which 
represents 2.0 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 112  757  386. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

18.0 % for axis 1, 29.1 % for axis 2, 25.1 % for axis 3, 22.8 % for axis 4 and 5.0 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

Despite  promising  progress  achieved  during  exchanges  between  the  Commission  and  the 
Member  State  throughout  the  year  2014  payments  to  Estonia  for  the  EFF  related  to  some 
expenditure  certified  under  Article  25(2)  remained  interrupted  because  there  was  no  full 
guarantee that all of the expenditure declared under this measure was eligible. For the same 
reason, in May the Commission had to proceed to suspension of part of the payments for the 
programme.  

By the end of 2014, 79 % of the original EFF total amount had been committed and 58 % was 
certified. 

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 16  714  007 was committed by the Member State (20 % of 
the total allocation) and EUR 17 489 081 was certified to the Commission. 

Ireland 

The Irish OP covers the entire country, which is designated as a non-convergence region.

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

5 

 
 
 
 
57.2 % for axis 1,13.6 % for axis 2, 26.4 % for axis 3, 2.4 % for axis 4 and 0.4 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

There was no automatic decommitment at the end of 2014. 

By the end of 2014, 83 % of the original EFF total amount had been committed and 71 % was 
certified. 

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 3 021 172 was committed by Ireland (representing 7.15 % of 
the total EFF allocation) and EUR 2 605 613 was certified to the Commission. 

Greece 

The OP covers the whole territory of Greece (the regions of Sterea Ellada and South Aegean 
are non-convergence regions while the rest of the country is a convergence region). 

EFF funds allocated to Greece for the period 2007-2013 amount to EUR 207 832 237 (EUR 
176 836 728 for the 11 convergence regions and EUR 30 995 509 for the two non-convergence 
regions), which represents 4.83 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 274 105 143. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

36.5 % for axis 1, 24.4 % for axis 2, 19.1 % for axis 3, 17.4 % for axis 4 and 2.6 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

In  2014,  the  OP  was  modified  in  terms  of  its  financial  table  (Commission  Decision                          
C(2014)6080 of 27.08.2014) for reasons of sound financial management. Despite the fact that 
the OP has made significant progress in terms of its implementation both at operational and 
financial  level,  the  amount  of  5  277  880  had  been  de-committed  due  to  N+2  rule 
(commitment  of  2012).  The  increase  in  the  absorption  rate  at  EU  payment  level,  currently 
amounting to  81.86 %  (including pre-financing),  is  also related to the use  of the provisions 
under Regulation (EU) No 387/2012 allowing for a 10 % top-up since the date (11 May 2010) 
the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Facility Agreement for Greece entered into force.  

By  the  end  of  2014,  96.82%  of  the  original  EFF  total  amount  had  been  committed  and 
63.72 % was certified. 

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 43 578 057.7 was committed by Greece (20.97 % of the total 
EFF allocation) and EUR 15 057 831.04 was certified to the Commission. 

Spain 

The Spanish OP covers Galicia, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Andalucia, Principado de 
Asturias,  Region  de  Murcia,  and  Ciudades  autonomas  de  Ceuta  y  Melilla  as  convergence 
regions and the rest of the country as a non-convergence region. 

EFF funds allocated to Spain for the period 2007-2014 amount to EUR 1 117 001 406, which 
represents 25.66 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 2 207 842 936. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014 

42.4 % for axis 1, 25.5 % for axis 2, 25.4 % for axis 3, 4 % for axis 4 and 2.2 % for axis 5 

6 

 
 
 
 
Main implementation aspects: 

Automatic decommitment at the end of 2014: EUR 61 750 438 in convergence regions. This 
represents 45 % of the annual allocation of EUR 136 163 340. 

By the end of 2014, 83.1 % of the original EFF total amount had been committed and 67.2 % 
was certified. 

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 80 870 701 was committed by the Member State and EUR 
99 010 445 was certified to the Commission. 

Analysis  of  2014  AIR  confirms  that  progress  has  been  slow  in  convergence.   In  the  non-
convergence  area,  the  increase  of  commitments  is  satisfactory  and  more  especially  on  Axis 
4.   We  notice  that  the  progress  towards  implementation  of  the  EFF  was  disappointing  on 
31/12/2013 but regions have reallocated the unused funds among themselves via transfers in 
order to optimise the implementation of projects on the two remaining years. 

France 

The OP covers four convergence regions, Guadeloupe, Guyane, Martinique and Réunion (the 
outermost regions), and the rest of the country is designated as a non-convergence region. 

EFF  funds  allocated  to France  for  the  period  2007-2013  amounted  to  EUR  216  053  084.00 
(EUR 34 250 343 for convergence regions and EUR 18 802 741 for non-convergence region), 
which represents 5 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union.  As a result of the funds losses 
during  the  programming  period,  due  to  automatic  decommitment,  the  EFF  budget  was 
reduced to EUR 213 025 429.  

Total public contribution amounts currently to EUR 567 785 571 (38% of the EFF and 62% 
of the national public co-financing).  

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014 was as follows: 42.4 % for axis 1, 
25.5 % for axis 2, 25.4% for axis 3, 4.4 % for axis 4 and 2.2 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

For the third consecutive year the automatic decommitment affected the convergence regions.  
The amout decommitted at the end of 2014 was EUR 1 020 226, which represents 18%of the 
annual  allocation  for  2012  and  8%  of  the  total  intial  EFF  allocation  for  the  convergence 
regions. 

By the end of  2014, 63 % of the original EFF total amount had been committed and 67 % was 
certified. In 2014, an EFF amount of  EUR 27 609 458 was committed by the Member State 
and EUR 18 711 839 13 was certified to the Commission. 

Croatia 

Following the accession of Croatia to the EU on 1 July 2013, an EFF operational programme 
was submitted on 31 October 2013. 

The  Croatian  OP  as  approved  by  the  Commission  on  19  December  2013  covers  the  entire 
territory of the country, which is designated as a convergence region. 

EFF  funds  allocated  to  Croatia  for  the  period  2007-2013  amount  to  EUR  8 700 000,  which 
represents 0.20 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

7 

 
 
 
 
The total public contribution amounts to EUR 11 600 000. 

Allocation between priority axes: 51.8 % for axis 1, 43.2 % for axis 2 and 5 % for axis 5. 

Overall  assessment:  During  2014  the  Croatian  authorities  focused  on  setting  up  the 
management  and  control  systems  and  other  preparatory  measures  for  launching  the  OP 
implementation on the ground. Three of the four measures of the OP were opened for tender, 
some of which towards the end of the year and did not translate into high commitments.  

By  the  end  of  2014,  EUR  19 573.89  had  been  committed  by  the  Member  State  but  no 
expenditure was certified to the Commission. 

Italy 

The OP covers Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Puglia and Sicily as convergence regions and 
the rest of the country as a non-convergence region. 

EFF  funds  allocated  to  Italy  for  the  period  2007-2013  amount  to  EUR  424  342  854,  which 
represents 9.9 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 848 685 708. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

42.83 % for axis 1, 23.32 % for axis 2, 21.66 % for axis 3, 8.02 % for axis 4 and 4.38 % for 
axis 5 

Main implementation aspects: 

Automatic decommitment at the end of 2014: EUR 23 338 556 in the convergence region and 
EUR 3 075 542 in non-convergence regions. This represents 49.74 % of the annual allocation 
2012  in  the  convergence  region  and  19.51 %  of  the  annual  allocation  2012  in  non-
convergence regions. 

The ongoing economic crisis is delaying the implementation of investment measures, mainly 
under axes 2, 3 and 4. 

By  the  end  of  2014,  86.66 %  of  the  original  EFF  total  amount  had  been  committed  and 
62.15 % was certified.   

In 2014, an EFF amount of EUR 46 675 089.90 was committed by the Member State (11.27% 
of the total allocation) and EUR 36 511 369.00 was certified to the Commission. 

Cyprus

convergence region. 

EFF  funds  allocated  to  the  Republic  of  Cyprus  for  the  period  2007-2013  amount  to  
EUR 19  724  418, which represents 0.46 % of the total EFF allocation for the Union. 

Total public contribution amounts to EUR 36 148 836. 

Allocation between priority axes in the OP by 31.12.2014: 

39.5 % for axis 1, 10.1 % for axis 2, 42.7 % for axis 3, 5.1 % for axis 4 and 2.5 % for axis 5. 

Main implementation aspects: 

8 

 
 
 
 
Despite the exceptional financial circumstances that the Republic of Cyprus has faced since 
2013, in 2014 significant progress has been made in the implementation of projects approved 
for funding under the Cypriot EFF OP 2007-2013 both at operational and financial level. The 
absorption rate at EU payment level, currently amounting to 95 %, is also related to the use of 
the provisions under Regulation (EU) No 387/2012 allowing for a 10 % top-up since the date  
(26 April 2013) the economic adjustment programme was signed.  

By  the  end  of  2014,  100.54 %  of  the  original  EFF  total  amount  had  been  committed  and 
87.4 % was certified. 

In 2014, no further EFF commitments were made by the Republic of Cyprus and EUR 1 744 
336.33 was certified to the Commission. 

Latvia 

The OP covers the entire territory of Latvia, which is designated as a convergence region.
