  1. Categorisation of EU interventionsCohesion policy 2014-2020 John Walsh, DG REGIO Laurent SENS, DG EMPL

  2. The categorisation system … • An information system (not priority or eligibility list)…to increase quality of information, transparency and policy accountability on the use of cohesion policy resources across Europe. • It tracks the financial inputs and monitors programming and progress in the implementation of the cohesion programmes 2007-2013 • across thematic sectors • across Objectives • across Member States

  3. Structure of categorisationsystem 2007-13 - 5 dimensions Ex-ante + “Priority Themes” - 86 codes • Form of Finance - 4 codes • Territorial dimension - 11 codes Ex-post only – reportedaccording to the combination of codes + Above three dimensions and + Economic Dimension - 23 Codes • Location Dimension – N° of Nuts II/III codes varies by MS (ESF also has participantdata ... not ERDF/CF)

  4. Measuring Progress … in a simplified project pipeline 2007-13 Programmes => EU Financial allocations (Ex-ante) • Project preparation, calls …. • Project selection (at OP level – Ex-Post)=> data by 'priority theme' (including earmarking) + 4 other dimensions • Contracting, procurement by project promoter • Spending=> expenditure declarations (at OP/ priority axis level – not reported by 'priority themes') • Indicators / Completion => outputs / results (at OP level – not reported by 'priority themes')

  5. Categorisation System for 2014-2020

  6. Categorisation : 2007-13 vs 2014-2020

  7. Dimensions : 2007-13 vs 2014-2020

  8. Dimensions : 2007-13 vs 2014-2020

  9. Programme structure / reporting level • Thematic Objectives=> Policy purpose, the “why” • 100+ Intervention Fields => “what” investmentsSystem offers flexibility in use of “Intervention fields” against the different “Thematic Objectives”

  10. Improved ventilation of "intervention fields"Key Changes I • Innovation & R&D and SME distinguish … • Support to public vs private R&D efforts • Clarify SME supports – Services toSMEs vs investmentsbySMEs • Ventilation of e-services • E-Gov • E-health • E-Inclusion, etc • [E-commerce in SMEs] pre-existing • Social entrepreneurship

  11. Improved ventilation of "intervention fields"Key Changes II • Improved ventilation of certain categories • TEN-T priorities – core vs comprehensive – New build vs reconstructed • Energy efficiency – ventilate buildings vs homes vsSMEs • DistinguishriskpreventionClimate /Env vs humanactivities • Distinguish public vs private culture and tourisminvestments • Water supply vsconservation

  12. Improved ventilation of inteventions … to become …

  13. Changes to existing dimensions Principal reasons for changes to the existing dimensions isthatthese dimension should have added value. • Form of finance: clarify and Introduce "repayable grants"; eliminate "other forms" • Territorial dimension: clarify "Rural codes" [introduce "Macro regional dimension" delete different forms of ETC] • Economic dimension: Essentiallykeeplistwithsmalladjustments. Very important for RTDI / Business support, labour market (green jobs) • Location: No change

  15. Tracking climate change – ERDF-CF COMMISSION has made a politicalcommitmentthat 20% of EU budget willcontribute to climate mitigation / adaptation. Weneed to track the contribution: • Use of Rio markers – 100% - 40% - 0% linked to 'intervention fields' to calculate climate contribution • integrated no additional burden on MAs • Can betracked ex-ante and ex-post • Alsowe propose 4 new specific new codes - 08-45-53-81 (NB: No formal biodiversity tracking)

  16. Why 3 new dimensions? Principal reasons for the three new dimensions isthatthese dimension are needed for 2014-2020 programming and would have clearadded value. • ITI/CLLD are modalities not objectives in themselves … • ERDF OPs may have multi-thematic objective priority axes. All investments must be related to TOs. • ESF – Secondarytheme dimension islinked, in major part, to the need to identify contribution of the ESF to otherthematic objectives (includingclimate change tracking) or cross cutting objectives

  17. Main characteristics … in a nutshell • Value for Ex-ante negotiation and annual ex-post monitoring • Better, more timely information on stages of project pipeline – decided, selected, [not contracted] and expenditure declared • More refined “intervention fields” learning from experience • Climate tracking will be integrated • New dimensions necessary for next programming period

  18. Differences between the Funds (1) • Most of the elements are common but there are some differences between ERDF and ESF. • - ESF Intervention Fields = ESF investment priorities (not a “what” investments as for ERDF) • => automatically includes the tracking by thematic objective • - the level of ESF reporting is at investment priority level (YEI) as all the other elements of reporting

  19. Differences between the Funds (2)ESF secondary theme dimension • Why? Result of the choice to build ESF around 4 thematic objectives • Capture ESF contribution to climate change and to other thematic objectives • Capture ESF contribution to social innovation (NB: transnationality moved to territory type 3.07, CLLD under territorial development mechanisms 4.01)

  20. ESF – Secondary Theme dimension (ex-ante & ex-post reporting) To be reported ex-ante and ex-post: • Supporting the shift to a low-carbon, resource efficient economy (100% climate weighting) • Enhancing the accessibility, use and quality of information and communication technologies • Enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs • Strengthening research, technological development and innovation • Social innovation • Not Applicable
