This dataset presents information on EU payments to the Regional Policy supported programmes. Annual snapshots are provided in the data and therefore the data must be filtered by year to have an accurate view of the total EU planned amount and payments made. Data is reported on cumulative basis, i.e. the amounts shown in 2017 represent the cumulative payments made from the beginning of the programming period (2014-2017 up to date). The dataset is updated on a daily basis.

The definitions set by Commission guidance - https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docoffic/2014/working/guidance_monitoring_eval_en.pdf - for the common indicators used in 2014-2020.

This dataset presents the collection of projects (operations) financed by EU Cohesion policy funds. It provides their description ,location, thematic category, beneficiary, and more. For the 2014-2020 programming period these funds are the European Regional development Fund, the European Social Fund, and the Cohesion Fund. Projects are selected by the managing authorities of the programmes in the Member States and regions. Lists of projects are published by the managing authorities and processed by the European Commission (DG REGIO and DG CONNECT) to be shared in the Kohesio platform : https://kohesio.ec.europa.eu/en/ On data description, please refer to: https://kohesio.ec.europa.eu/en/faq

This data is refreshed every 24 hours. NB THE DATA IS ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL END 2016 - AS OF 10/2020 A REQUEST TO EXTEND THE ANNUAL TIMESERIES IS BEING TREATED. EU Cohesion Policy (European Regional Development Fund + Cohesion Fund + European Social Fund) including European Territorial Cooperation. The data presents the annual payments (not cumulative) made by the Commission from the EU budget to the Member States broken down by Fund and by year. The totals paid by year (across funds) are also provided by Member State. The payment amounts show the payments made during each year broken down by interim payments and pre-financing. The % column show the % paid to each Member state compared to total available budget. Source: Infoview > Financial Management > Financial_execution_by_period_fund_country

This dataset provides the raw cumulative categorisation data on the projects selected for support as reported in the 322 ERDF/CF programme annual Implementation reports (AIR) as at end 2014. The dataset is not a final picture of what was financed during 2007-2013. The values at the moment of closure of the period 2007-2013 are provided in this dataset: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/2007-2013/ESIF-2007-2013-categorisation-raw-data-from-closur/qt3c-wiyg Each row presents a volume of EU support allocated to selected projects along with a combination of categorisation dimension codes. The Categorisation information system 2007-2013 was composed of 5 dimension providing information on: - Priority themes (activities supported) - Form of Finance - Territorial context - Location (NUTS codes) - Economic Dimension This raw data is of interest because it allows cross analysis of the different dimensions to answer questions such as: - Which industries were supported under enterprise support measures? - (Comparing Priority themes vs Economic dimension) - What sectors benefited from support to research activities - What form of finance was used to deliver support to energy efficiency measures? - (comparing form of finance vs Priority theme) More background information on the categorisation system 2007-2013 is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/evaluations/data-for-research/

Each row provides the name of the specific objectives (SO) and the description of the planned actions from each priority axis of each programmes under the Cohesion policy - ERDF, ESF, CF and YEI - programmes. The SO names and action descriptions are in the original language of the programmes. Official translations are not available.

The data available provides ** VALUES BY PROGRAMME ** for outputs under 18 core indicators reported by over 300 ERDF/CF programmes across the EU. [The aggregated country achievements values for the 4 years 2012-2015 are provided in a separate dataset: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/dataset/2007-2013-ERDF-CF-achievements-core-Indicators-tot/w9mt-s8si ] Last data update: March 2018. The values reported relate to achievements tracked in monitoring systems as reported by projects financed with EU investments in the period 2007-2015. For three Member States - Croatia, Romania and Slokavia - the final values may include projects finances also in 2016 under specific provisions; in those cases the final values are nonetheless reported as "2015" in order to allow aggregation. 1. BACKGROUND: After the negotiations on the ERDF and Cohesion Fund operational programmes (OPs) for 2007-2013, the Commission recommended the use of 'core indicators' for the main intervention areas. Core indicators can be used to compare and aggregate data across similar priorities or measures. Reporting on core indicators was not a legal obligation in 2007-2013. As a pilot, voluntary exercise it allowed the Member States (MS) and the Commission to establish reporting routines and detecting practical reporting issues. The effort undertaken to report against core indicators has improved accountability in the use of the Funds. Strategic reports were submitted by the MS twice in the course of the programming period (in 2009 and 2012), including core indicator data to communicate progress towards achieving policy objectives. Thanks to the use of core indicators, this was the first programme period in which indicator data could be aggregated and analysed across programmes. 2. USING THE DATA: The data is provided by programme in annual cumulative time series 2012-2015 where values were reported. Annual value can be compare but **SHOULD NOT BE AGGREGATED** as they are already cumulative. 3. SCOPE OF THE DATA: As part of the ex-post evaluation the reported indicators values for 2012 and 2013 available were examined in 2014-2015 by independent consultants. The synthesis report of their work (March 2015) is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/evaluations/ec/2007-2013/#1 The values for 2014 and 2015 were established by DG REGIO by comparing the values reported by the programme authorities for those years with the work of the consultant on the values reported for 2012 and 2013 and compiling a picture of the progress. The 2015 data is derived from the final report programme reports received in March 2017. The following is the list of "core indicators" that were examined and can be found in the dataset when used and reported by the programmes: CO04 Number of RTD projects (N° projects) CO05 Number of cooperation project enterprises-research institutions (N° projects) CO06 Research jobs created (FTE) CO07 Number of direct investment aid projects to SME (Number) CO08 Number of start-ups supported (Enterprises) CO09 Jobs created in SME (gross, full time equivalent) (FTE) CO12 Additional population covered by broadband access (people) CO14 km of new roads (km) CO15 km of TEN roads (new and reconstructed) (km) CO16 km of reconstructed roads (km) CO17 km of new railroads (km) CO18 km of TEN railroads (new and reconstructed) (km) CO19 km of reconstructed railroads (km) CO24 Additional capacity of renewable energy production (MW) CO25 Additional population served by water projects (people) CO26 Additional population served by waste water projects (people) CO29 Area rehabilitated (km2) CO35 Number of jobs created in tourism (FTE) The indicator "CO00 Aggregated Jobs (FTE)" found in the dataset is the result of calculations made by DG REGIO to provide a corrected aggregate value for indicators CO01, CO06, CO09 and CO35. In examining the data reported it became clear that CO01 was often not a correct

**JANUARY 2025: As of January 2025 a new EC IT accounting system is rolled out. EU payment updates will not be published while the new IT system is tested. The data below reflects the position as of end 2024. The daily updating will resume after full and successful roll-out of the underlying systems.** This dataset presents information on EU payments to the ESI Funds programmes as well as to FEAD, IPA-E and ENI supported programmes.

This lookup table maps the ERDF/ESF-YEI/CF programmes (Along with ENI and IPAE programmes) to relevant NUTS codes as provided by the programmes in their programme documents. The column "Fund-Sole" provides a mapping of each specific fund to a specific programme. However some programmes are funded from several funds as shown by the column "Fund-All". The NUTS 2010 version is used.

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. The implementation values are reported once a year by the 350+ programmes at end January. This dataset 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. 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 4 dimensions were encoded for ERDF/ Cohesion Fund while 5 dimensions were encoded for ESF and can be found in the dataset. Data on 3 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 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" weightings and a similar weighting system for "biodiversity tracking".

This dataset provides the raw cumulative categorisation data on the projects selected for support as reported in ERDF/CF/ESF programme final implementation reports (FIR) as presented in the closure documentation. The dataset is the best approximation of thematic content of what was financed during 2007-2013. Each row presents a volume of EU support allocated to selected projects along with a combination of categorisation dimension codes. The Categorisation information system 2007-2013 was composed of 5 dimension providing information on: - Priority themes (activities supported) - Form of Finance - Territorial context - Location (NUTS codes) - Economic Dimension This raw data is of interest because it allows cross analysis of the different dimensions to answer questions such as: - Which industries were supported under enterprise support measures? - (Comparing Priority themes vs Economic dimension) - What sectors benefited from support to research activities - What form of finance was used to deliver support to energy efficiency measures? - (comparing form of finance vs Priority theme) More background information on the categorisation system 2007-2013 is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/evaluations/data-for-research/ A version of this data as at the end of 2014 was previously published here: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/2007-2013/2007-2013-ERDF-CF-Categorisation-Projectselection-/b5xq-38ds The planned categorisation amounts under certain dimension were also published in dataset for end-2008 and end-2015 : https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/2007-2013/SF-2007-2013-Categorisation-Planned-2008-and-2015/x2d8-jjj2

1. PURPOSE: This data set provides, in a single source, regionalised (NUTS-2) annual EU expenditure data (in current prices) for specific EU funds - ERDF, Cohesion Fund, EAFRD/EAGGF and ESF. This data can be used, among other purposes, to facilitate analysis on the effects of the EU funds. In terms of the regionalisation of EU payments made, this work expands and replaces data sets previous published on the ERDF and Cohesion fund with additional years and additional EU funds. The following studies on ERDF and Cohesion fund expenditure are to a large extent now superseded: - "Geography of expenditure" Work Package 13 of the ERDF and CF ex-post evaluation 2007-2013 - http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/evaluations/ec/2007-2013/#13 - "Final Report - ERDF and CF Regional Expenditure" (2000-2006) - SWECo 2008 - http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docgener/evaluation/pdf/expost2006/expenditure_final.pdf - "The Territorial Effects of the Structural Funds" (1994-1999) - ESPON 2005, study 2.2.1 - http://www.espon.eu/main/Menu_Projects/Menu_ESPON2006Projects/Menu_PolicyImpactProjects/structuralfundsimpact.html The dataset does not contain any identification of the thematic nature of the investments made. This is because there was no harmonised system or information available across funds and across programme periods to estimate the thematic composition of the investments. For the ERDF and Cohesion Fund the studies cited above provided some thematic information for specific programme periods. 2. SCOPE 2.1 REGIONALISATION: This dataset provides the most complete historic picture available to date on the annual EU payments made - in EUR in current prices of the year in question (not adjusted or expressed as “in 2015 prices”) - under different shared management funds mapped to or estimated by NUTS-2 regions; => presented in the column "EU_payment_annual". The work undertaken to regionalise the payment data is predominantly based on the NUTS-2013 version as described in the final report of the 2016 WIIW study (link below). In case the EU funded programmes covered more than one NUTS-2 region the regionalisation of the payments was carried out using either (1) regionalised data provided by the managing authorities or (2) the application of certain apportioning rules to the payments in order to estimate the share of the payment by NUTS-2 region. In regionalising the data, information on the specific national or regional funding programme, which were the source of the payments, was not retained in the processing of the dataset. 2.2 MODELLING OF “REAL” EXPENDITURE: The yearly breakdown of the dataset follows the cycle of the European Commission payments to the Member States and not the date on which real expenditures took place on the ground. This characteristic may negatively affect any subsequent analytic work to carry out policy assessments. In order to develop a more realistic estimate of the annual profile of real expenditure, the Commission tasked BERGEN to undertake work to develop a modelling of the “real” annual expenditure on the ground, and to test the robustness and sensitivity of assumptions used (see link to final report below). => the modelled annual expenditure is presented in the column "Modelled_annual_expenditure" and it represents the mean of 100 000 simulations on the annual EU payments to estimate real expenditure. => The column "Standard_Deviation_of modelled_annual_expenditure" provides the standard deviation of the “modelled_annual_expenditure" which is the root mean square of the set of deviations between each estimated annual payment in 100 000 simulations and the mean of the estimations, presented in the column "Modelled_annual_expenditure”. => The column "Standard_Error_of_modelled_annual_expenditure" provides the Standard Error of the "Modelled_annual_expenditure", which is a measure of how far this mean is likely to be from its expected value; that is, its scatter in repeated ex
