I Spanien anslås det, at investeringer i vejsystemet sparede 1,2 millioner kørselstimer om året. > For målsætning 2-regioner tyder undersøgelser på firmaniveau på, at der ved slutningen af perioden 2000-2006 stort set var blevet skabt 730.000 job. > I Catalonien involverede målsætning 2-programmet over 6.000 (ca. 21 %) af regionens forskere og beløb sig til € 1,4 milliarder (37 %), som i den private sektor blev investeret i informations-samfundet. > I Storbritannien modtog over 250.000 små og mellemstore virksomheder støtte i målsætning 1- og 2-regioner.

Results involving nearly 100 000 researchers and provided co-nancing for most of the present 64 Spanish technology parks. > In Greece, continued investment in the Athens metro reduced trac congestion and pollution. Eight new stations, including four transit stations, were financed together with 17 trains. By mid-2005, 17 200 passengers were using them at peak times compared to the 15 500 initially forecast. In Spain, investments in the road system saved an estimated 1.2 million hours of travel time a year. > For Objective 2 regions, company surveys suggest that by the end of the 2000-2006 period 730 000 jobs had been created in gross terms. > In Catalonia, the Objective 2 programme involved over 6 000 (some 21 %) of the region's researchers and amounted to €1.4 billion (37 %) of private sector investment in the information society. > In the United Kingdom, over 250 000 small and medium-sized enterprises received support in Objective 1 and 2 regions. Around 16 000 received direct financial support. For more details, see the ‘evaluation’ pages at: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy
