PURPOSE: maximising the contribution of European\nStructural and Investment Funds (ESIF) to employment and growth as\nwell as the Commissions priorities for the next few\nyears.
\nBACKGROUND: with a budget of EUR 454 billion for\n2014-2020, the European structural and investment\nfunds are the European Unions (EUs) main\ninvestment policy tool. By 2023, the ESIFs will deliver a critical\nmass of investment in key EU priority areas, to respond to the\nneeds of the real economy by supporting job creation and by getting\nthe European economy growing again in a sustainable way.
\nThe financial crisis wiped out the gains from economic\nconvergence achieved in several\nEuropean regions and Member States since 2000, thus reversing the\ntrend of reducing regional disparities and poverty. Progress\ntowards Europe 2020 targets has been uneven.
\nIn the post-crisis period, and in a climate of\ndeclining overall investment, the Commission considers it necessary\nto maximise the impact of the ESIFs, especially as they\nprovide the majority of public investment in many\ncountries.
\nThe ESIFs contribute to the Investment\nPlan for Europe and complement the European\nFund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). They will make a\nsubstantial contribution to the new Commissions political\npriorities: the digital single market, the energy union and\nclimate change policies, the single market and economic governance,\nin line with the European Semester country-specific\nrecommendations.
\nCONTENT: in accordance with the requirements of\nArticle 16(3) of the Common\nProvisions Regulation, the communication presents the main\nresults of negotiations between Member State authorities and their\npartners, including regional and local actors, and the European\nCommission, on their investment programmes further to the ESIF\nreform.
\nESIF investments in the current context:\nthe ESIFs have become more important in public\ninvestment, compensating for decreasing investment levels: in\n2014-2016, the commitments from ESIFs are expected to account for\napproximately 14 % of total public investment on\naverage, with the highest share reaching beyond 70 % in some\nMember States.
\nFollowing the lessons learned from previous\nprogramming periods and taking into account the need for better use\nof ESIFs, the 2014-2020 regulations introduced several key\nreforms:
\nExpected results: the\nCommission indicates that for 2014-2020, EUR 454 billion in ESIF\nfunding has been allocated to promote job creation and growth.\nNational co-financing is expected to amount to at least\nEUR 183 billion, with total investment reaching EUR 637\nbillion.
\nThe communication gives an overview of the expected\nachievements of ESIF funding channelled through the 456 national\n(thematic) and regional programmes and the 79 Interreg cooperation\nprogrammes.
\nFunding primarily concerns the following\nareas:
\n1) Research and innovation (R&I), information and\ncommunication technologies (ICT) and SME development:\nthe ESIFs contribute EUR 121 billion to reaching\nthe EUs smart growth objectives, and therefore to improving\nR&I, SME competitiveness and the digital single\nmarket. Key figures related to the achievements expected are\nas follows:
\n2) Environment, climate change, energy and\ntransport: the ESIFs will support the\ndevelopment of the energy union by more than doubling the funds\nallocated to the low-carbon economy, to EUR 45 billion for 2014-20.\nThe focus will be on energy efficiency.
\nEnvironmental protection will continue to receive\nsubstantial support expanded in scope, and geared towards\ninnovative solutions. This will help the water and waste\nmanagement sectors across many Member States to regenerate\ncities, support nature protection, aid EU industries to become more\nresource efficient, and contribute to reaching the EU circular\neconomy objectives.
\nInvestments in climate change adaptation and\nrisk prevention include a broad range of measures, including flood\nprevention and ecosystem-based measures such as green\ninfrastructure which aim at protecting 13.3 million people from\nfloods and 11.8 million from forest fires while making a positive\nimpact on jobs and growth.
\nIn the area of transport, ESIFs will: (i) finance infrastructure projects\naiming to close missing links and remove bottlenecks, especially in\nthe less developed Member States and regions; (ii) provide\nconsiderable support for making transport in Europe more efficient\nand greener.
\n3) Employment, social inclusion and\neducation: a total of EUR 120\nbillion, predominantly funded by the European\nSocial Funds but with the support of the other ESI Funds as\nwell, will be invested in this area. This support for employment is\nexpected to improve the job finding chances of 10 million\nunemployed people and ensure that 2.3 million people are in\nemployment, including self-employment.
\nMost Member States will invest in vocational\neducation and training to improve both the relevance of\neducation and training systems and the transition from education to\nwork and life-long learning. Most funding in this area will however\nbe concentrated on preventing early school leaving. It is expected\nthat 4.1 million under-25-year-olds will be supported and 2.9\nmillion people will gain a qualification.
\nImplementing the youth employment initiative\n(YEI) is expected to help 3.1 million unemployed or inactive\nparticipants complete a YEI project.
\n4) Strengthening institutional capacity and efficient\npublic administration: the ESIFs\nsupport the creation of stable and predictable institutions that\nare also able to react to societal challenges, open for dialogue\nwith the public, and embrace technological change in the delivery\nof better services. 17 Member States will invest EUR 4.2 billion\n(ESF/ERDF) in institutional capacity building, depending on their\nindividual needs.
\nThe Committee on Regional Development adopted an\nown-initiative report by Lambert van NISTELROOIJ (EPP, NL) on\ninvesting in jobs and growth maximising the contribution of\nEuropean Structural and Investment Funds: an evaluation of the\nreport under Article 16(3) of the Common\nProvisions Regulation (CPR).
\nThe Committee on Employment and Social Affairs,\nexercising its prerogative as an associated committee under Rule\n54 of Parliaments Rules of Procedure, has also given an\nopinion on the report.
\nMembers recalled that with a budget of EUR 454\nbillion for the period 2014-2020, the European Structural and\nInvestment Funds (ESI Funds) are the EUs main investment\npolicy tool and are a vital source of public investment in many\nMember States. They made the following recommendations:
\nSharing results, communication and\nvisibility: the report highlighted\nthe need to improve communication on and the visibility of ESI\nFunds, with greater focus on participation by stakeholders and\nrecipients, and on involving citizens in the design and\nimplementation of cohesion policy.
\nThe key communication on cohesion policy projects\nshould focus on European added value, solidarity and the\nvisibility of success stories. The Commission, Member States,\nregions and cities were urged to communicate more on both the\nachievements of cohesion policy and the lessons to be\nlearned.
\nThematic concentration:\nMembers stressed the need to the circumstances of urban or rural\nregions, the lagging regions, transition regions and\nregions with permanent natural or geographical handicaps, and\nappropriate support policies should be drawn up for the\ndevelopment of these areas.
\nThe report recommended allowing sufficient flexibility\nfor Member States and regions to support new policy challenges,\nsuch as those relating to immigration, as well as the\nbroadly understood digital dimension of cohesion policy.\nFurthermore, Members drew attention to the energy union strategy,\nthe circular economy strategy, and the EUs commitments under\nthe Paris climate change agreement, as the ESI Funds have an\nimportant role to play in delivery.
\nThey supported the gradual shift of focus from one\nbased on major infrastructure-related projects towards one based on\nstimulating the knowledge economy, innovation and social\ninclusion. They were of the opinion that the ESI Funds should\nbe used to create and boost quality jobs, as well as quality\nlifelong learning and vocational (training systems, including\nschool infrastructure.
\nThe Commission should pay more attention to the impact\nof cohesion policy on promoting employment and reducing\nunemployment. For their part, Member States should intensify\ntheir efforts in order to achieve substantial and tangible effects\nfrom the funds invested, particularly with respect to funds made\navailable in the form of advance payments, and ensure that\nthe Youth Employment\nInitiative (YEI) is implemented\ncorrectly.
\nMembers also recalled that completion of the core\nTEN-T network is a European transport policy priority, and\nthat the ESI Funds are a very important tool in the implementation\nof this project.
\nThe report went on to recommend, amongst other\nthings:
\nSynergies and financial instruments: whilst the use of grants is still indispensable, the\nreport observed that there seems to be a focus on a gradual\nshift from grants to loans and guarantees, and noted also that\nthe use of the multi-fund approach still appears to be\ndifficult.
\nMembers noted that the Commission's Article 16 Report\nprovides little information on coordination and synergies among\ndifferent programmes and with instruments of other policy areas,\nand in particular has not always presented reliable data on\nthe expected results of the ESF and YEI programmes.
\nThey were convinced that synergies with other policies\nand instruments, including EFSI and other financial instruments,\nshould be enhanced in order to maximise the impact of investment.\nThe Commission was asked to provide specific data on EFSIs\nimpact in terms of growth and employment and to come forward after\nthe evaluation with learning points to enable the ESI Funds to be\nput to use more successfully in the new programming period from\n2021 onwards.
\nEuropean Territorial Cooperation: the report\nhighlighted the European added value of European Territorial\nCooperation (ETC), especially from the point of view of reducing\ndisparities between border regions. This should be reflected in an\nincreased level of appropriations for this cohesion policy\nobjective, to be introduced as soon as practicable. It underlines\nthe need to preserve this instrument as one of the core elements of\ncohesion policy after 2020.
\nFuture cohesion policy:\nMembers were convinced that the future performance-oriented\ncohesion policy must be founded on data and indicators that are\nappropriate for measuring efforts, outcomes and impacts achieved,\nas well as experience at regional and local level in the area\n(performance-based budgeting, ex ante conditionalities and thematic\nconcentration).
\nThe report underlined that faster take-up of the\navailable funds and a more balanced progression of expenditure\nduring the programming cycle will be needed in future.
\nThe legislative process to adopt the next multi-annual\nfinancial framework (MFF) should be concluded by the end of 2018,\nso that the regulatory framework for future cohesion policy might\nbe adopted swiftly after that and come into force without delay on\n1 January 2021.
