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.

This dataset provides information on planned total and EU financing under the different ESI Funds (2014-2020) in current prices. The data is taken from the adopted financial tables and is broken down by fund, programme, priority axis, thematic objective and category of region (more developed, less developed, etc. where available). It is updated daily to reflect any modifications (i.e; thematic reallocations) agreed between the Member States and the Commission.

The data cover the more than 530 programmes and includes the EU and national co-financing covered by the adoption decision. Financial allocations in the programme financial table may change over time (i.e. transfers between themes, between funds). The first wave of major changes took place at end 2017 as a result of the allocation of the "technical adjustment" and the increase in the allocation to the Youth Employment initiative.

- For ERDF, ESF and CF the "priority" columns relate to the priority axis (financing blocks) in the programmes; the "investment priority" relates to the fixed lists of defined investment objectives set in the three specific fund Regulations.
- For the European Agricultural fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) detail is also provided by EAFRD "Focus areas" and "Measures" (the EAFRD Focus Areas are detailed in the EAFRD fund regulation - Article 5 and the EAFRD measures in Article 13-40 of the relevant Implementing Regulation).

If downloading, check the format of financial amounts and where necessary change your regional settings and default formatting in your chosen software. You can check the results of your aggregation of the financial data by comparing results either with (1) the charts on the public platform or (2) with the pre-formatted charts profiled on this metadata page under “featured content”.

This dataset provides information on planned (planned) financing under the different ESI Funds (2014-2020). The data is taken from the adopted financial tables (as at July 2016) and is broken down by fund, programme, priority axis, thematic objective and category of region (more developed, less developed, etc. where available).
For ERDF, ESF and CF the "priority" columns relate to the priority axis (financing blocks) in the programmes; the "investment priority" related to the fixed lists of defined investment objectives set in the three specific fund Regulations.

The data now covers 531 programmes available (adopted and draft) as at the beginning of November 2015 and includes the EU and national co-financing covered by the adoption decision. Financial allocations in the programme financial table may change over time (i.e. transfers between themes, between funds) and as a result the dataset will be updated regularly.

***** UPDATE: 3/9/2019 *****
With the release of the June 2019 data on "finances implemented" the Commission also makes a correction to the way it compares planned finances with decided finances (selected) for cohesion policy funds. The total planned amounts include programmes (or priorities) that are expressed either in 1) in public cost only, or 2) in total cost (i.e. including private financing). Some of the programmes expressed in public cost were reporting in finances implemented in "total costs of decided (selected) operations (including private cost)" and in "public cost of decided operations". To more accurately reflect the correct selection rate the Commission now takes only the public cost decided for those "public cost" programmes (or priorities). The correction is applied to all new data published and retroactively. The effect is to reduce the cohesion policy selection rate by -0.7% points for end 2018. The change mainly affects ERDF and programmes in following Member States - BE, BG, IT, MT, PT and RO.
**************************

This data set provides time series information on the financial implementation on the ground of the 530+ ESI Funded programmes. The data is cumulative, i.e. 2016 values included the finances implemented for 2015. Therefore the value for different years **MUST NOT BE AGGREGATED**

The financial implementation data is disaggregated by fund, programme, priority axis, thematic objective and category of regions (where available). The data is provided by the managing authorities of the 530+ programmes on at least an annual basis. For some funds the data is provided more regularly:

- ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI: financial data is provided to the Commission 3 times a year on 31/1, 31/7 and 31/10 with data up until 31/12, 30/6 and 30/9 respectively;
- EAFRD: Financial data is to the Commission biannually on 31/1 and 30/09 with data up until 31/12 and 30/08 respectively;
- EMFF: data is provided to the Commission annually up until 31/12.

A detailed description of all the variables in the dataset is provided in the metadata file ESIF_Implemented Finance_Data_Description_of_Dataset_20161219.xlsx (in Attachments below).

Further details on the "finances implemented" data and the other forms of are provided also in the "About" section providing FAQs accessible from the platform - http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/faq/about_open_data/#8

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.
