Annual Implementation. Reports (AIR) 2013 … on 7 years of activity

This report provides an overview of the Annual Implementation Reports (AIR) process, tracking the inputs and measuring the outputs of the 2013 AIR. It discusses the categorization, project selection, core indicators, and next steps for implementation. The report also highlights the challenges and progress made in the implementation of the 2013 AIR.

  1. Annual Implementation.Reports (AIR) 2013… on 7 years of activity DG REGIO B2-European Semester & Evaluation

  2. Outline • Annual Implementation Reports (AIR) process • Categorisation - Tracking the inputs • Core Indicators – measuring the outputs • Next steps & Conclusions

  3. 1. 2013 AIR process (ERDF)still incomplete & slower that 2012 !! • Approving AIRs … 2 month slower than last year … • @January 2015 • 200 / 249 – Accepted 81% • 18 - 7% - With DG REGIO • 31 – 12% - With MA (Interrupted or rejected) • Overlapping with 2014-2020 preparations. • Not all interruptions are linked to data. • Stats exclude ESF and ETC programmes.

  4. AIR 2013 treatment – MA/REGIO

  5. 2. Project Selectionannual aggregate trends

  6. Project selection – 2013"Gross" and capped at 100% of OP

  7. Project selection – 2013 Main Messages • 91.8 % of total volume allocated to projectsis to low !! • Varies from 53% to over 150% by MS Stillsome data reliability issues • Mis-allocations / reporting… • ES – Paymentbased not proejctselection ? • NL – ESF problem … not cumulative? • Over programming in some programmes => dormant project

  8. Turning project selection to spending … (2013 selection vs 2014 spend)

  9. Turning project selection to spending … (2013 vs 2014 expend Declarations) • AT & ES appear to report on payments only - not project selection • Project selection is not a guarantee of spending: some projects naturally take longer to mature and spend • Capacity is a real problem in many important programmes • Co-financing - Administrative and techncial capacity - Beneficiaries • Significant N+2/3 decommitments have started (400 m€ in 2014)

  10. Project selection by major theme – relative progress

  11. Project selection by major theme • At this aggregate level differences between rates of project selection still persist • Delays in Rail – Energy • Others are well ahead of average:Roads, Social Infrastructure – Tourism culture – Generic Business Support

  12. 3. Core Indicators - measuring outputsERDF/CF • Delayed finalisation of 20% of OP AIR !!! • Plausibility checked by REGIO • Manual corrections & analysis still done by REGIO • WP zero also checking • - Consistency of definitions / Measurement units • - AIR text vs SFC data

  13. 3a. Improved data but certain limitations Key weaknesses: • CoreIndicators not collected/usedwhen relevant (i.e. several FR, DE programmes) • Inconsistentdefinitions and practices (Jobs, Km road, rail ) • Reporting "contracted" not "completed" (Significantcorrections in GR, ES, and otherspecificOPs) • Units of measure (MW, Km², ...) • Qualitycontrol in certain OPsor Nationally

  14. 4. Next Steps Ex-Post 2007-2013 • Work Package "zero" beingfinalised • All otherthematic packages launched – Deadline end 2015/ early 2016 2014 AIR: • Will MAsintegrateWPzero corrections? • Present consistent trend in outputs? Final IR (2017): • reconcile categorisation data with final declaration • Final statement of outputs achieved

  15. Conclusions • Better data … but not perfect • In certain programmes … still slow progress on project selection … growing absorption concerns • Outputs growing steadily as projects are completed – but uneven reporting • OPEN Data platform will be updated in Feb 2015 with 2013 data (excel files online also for researchers) • 2013 data will be the basis for ex-post 2007-2013 • Important input to the impact assessment post-2020.
