  2. SUBJECT to assess the impact of Objective 2 programmes (2000-2006) supporting regional structural change and enabling adaptation to globalisation SCOPE Objective 2 (2000-2006) focusing particularly on selected programmes financed totally or in their majority by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The regional level of analysis is NUTS 2 level.

  4. POLICY RESPONSES Focus on R&D innovation and internationalisation Focus on employment creation and safeguarding Focus on balanced territorial development Bayern Rhône-Alpes North Rhine-Westphalia Southern Finland Västra Programme North Netherlands Styria Tuscany Basque country Brittany North East England North West England

  5. WERE ERDF FUNDED MEASURES RELEVANT FOR TACKLING STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND GLOBALISATION EFFECTIVE OR NOT? • Positive evidence of success: • Styria, Tuscany, Basque country • Mixed evidence of success: • Bayern North East England, North West England, • North Netherlands, North Rhine-Westphalia, Southern Finland Västra • Limited evidence of success: • Brittany and Rhône-Alpes

  6. CONCLUSIONS (I) Success factors behind the contribution of Obj. 2 programmes to support structural change and globalisation Focus strategic policy response andearly awareness of policy makers enabled regions to effectively and promptly react to structural change Objective 2 interventions aligned with a broader regional strategy were more effective

  7. CONCLUSIONS (II) Success factors behind the contribution of Obj. 2 programmes to support structural change and globalisation The commitment and vision of the regional planners, rather than a specific regional specialisation or structural pattern of growth, determines policy responses and its effectiveness There is a need for differentiated strategies to achieve innovation-driven structural change ERDF had a positive effect on policy learning about tackling structural change and globalisation

  8. RECOMMENDATIONS for ERDF interventions • Active acknowledgment and strategic anticipation of structural change should be put in place by regional policy makers • In order to overcome the limited scale of funding, ERDF strategies should be aligned with the wider regional policy objectives and embedded in a longer term policy effort • The Commission is strongly encouraged to strengthen its role of partner in strategic planning, and take a more active role in terms of policy thinking with the regional authorities
