Under the CRIII+ proposals, at the request of a country, the resources available for programming for the year 2020, could be transferred between the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund.
The dataset below show the increase and decreases in EU funding by country, programme fund and category of region since the adoption of the CRII package. As no new EU funds were available the sum of changes overall is normally "zero" (increases = decreases).

This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund,Youth Employment Initiative).

The Database (DB) of 2014 - 2020 ERDF and CF monitoring indicators at the project level contains data on the target and achieved values of both common and programme-specific output indicators. The database covers 24 Member States and 245 operational programmes: 187 national and regional programmes out of 217 and 53 Cooperation Programme out of 76. Overall, the database contains 1,435,059 rows of data by output indicator.

The Database of Indicators is interlinked with the Database of operations and the Database of beneficiaries through a unique ad-hoc identifier of the operation, allowing linking the data on output indicators to the related operation and beneficiaries and vice versa. The Database of indicators includes data for a total of 421,629 operations.

This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund,Youth Employment Initiative).

Promoting sustainable transport and removing bottlenecks in key transport infrastructures - TEN-T - is part of one of the 11 Thematic Objectives for Cohesion Policy in 2014-2020.

This file contains categorisation data from the ERDF/ESF/Cohesion Fund programmes and in particular it compares **PLANNED AMOUNTS TO IMPLEMENTED INVESTMENTS**.
The data will be updated regularly to reflect updated information transmitted.

***NEW*** 03/2020 - The Commission's COVID-19 response in 2020 involves encouraging reprogramming unallocated EU budget towards the COVID-19 health response and support to the economy, particularly through supporting SMEs and workers. Check out these data stories based on this dataset:

***NEW*** 12/2018 - CLIMATE AND BIODIVERSITY TRACKING: In December 2018 the calculation of amounts planned, decided and spend on categorisation codes (weighted 100% and 40%) for climate tracking and biodiversity tracking were added to the dataset to allow full transparency on how investment under these tracking systems are progressing. Specially designed charts providing visualisations on these tracking systems are linked to the dataset below.

***NEW*** 12/2018 - OPERATIONS (projects) SELECTED: Also in December 2018 the number of operations (projects) linked to each categorisation value reported by priority axis is reflected in the dataset. In many cases programmes provide detailed categorisation information, reporting more than one intervention field code for a specific operation. While leading to more detailed thematic information it leads to multiple reporting of some operations.

TIMING AND FREQUENCY: The categorisation system implementation values are reported once a year by the 350+ programmes at end January. It is then published in this dataset towards the end of February. Thereafter the data is updated regularly to reflect the updated information transmitted by the programmes.
This dataset currently contains data to end-2016 and end- 2017. As the data is cumulative the **ANNUAL VALUES SHOULD NOT BE AGGREGATED *** but may be compared to see progress.

STRUCTURE OF DATASET:
The planned data is provided in tables one for each priority axis (investment pillar) of each programme. The categorisation systems is defined in Implementing Regulation 215/2014 with 8 dimensions in total - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32014R0215.
These dimension represent different ways of categorising the nature of the EU support (i.e. the intervention (activity) field, the form of finance, the territorial context, etc.).
In the programme documents only four4 dimensions were encoded for ERDF/ Cohesion Fund while five5 dimensions were encoded for ESF and can be found in the dataset. Data on three3 other dimensions is only provided in the implementation reports - Location, Economic Dimension, ERDF/CF Thematic Objective - and therefore there is no planned amount to compare.
In analysing the content of the dataset **THE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS SHOULD BE ANALYSED SEPARATELY AS OTHERWISE DOUBLE COUNTING OF FINANCIAL AMOUNTS WILL OCCUR**.
This information note provides more detail on the categorisation system 2014-2020: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docgener/informat/2014/guidance_categorisation_climate_en.pdf

ANALYSING THEMATIC CONTENT AND PROGRESS: A second dataset found here - https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/EU-Level/ESIF-2014-2020-Categorisation-Crosscutting-Themes-/xns4-t7ym - provides a lookup table for understanding how the Commission uses the intervention field codes to look at cross cutting issues such as investments in "innovation", "enterprise support", etc. That "lookup" dataset also has the "climate change tracking" and "biodiversity tracking" weightings.

This report provides an overview and details of the latest version adopted by EC or MS of the Operational Programmes (OP) in SFC2014 Front Office. It also displays the increase/ decrease of the EU Amount between two dates.

Parameters:
- Funds : ERDF and ESF
- Categories of intervention codes : 053, 081, 107 and 112
- Lower limit date: 31/01/2020
- Upper limit date: current date

This dataset provides an open data access to the list of cohesion policy programme evaluations completed by the Member States and published since 2015. The evaluations are also searchable through the search functions on this internet page: https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/evaluations/member-states/.
The evaluations cover multiple programming periods (2007-2013 and 2014-2020). Apart from the list, for many evaluations abstracts are also provided.
The list does not include ex ante evaluations for 2014-2020 (Art. 55 CPR).
