Thematic Overview 2007-2013 of The ERDF-ESF Programming - (Page 1)

OVERVIEW OF THE KEY THEMES OF THE 2007-2013 ERDF-ESF PROGRAMMES ON DECEMBER 31, 2013 With the 2014-2020 programme about to start, the purpose of this analysis is to report back on the implementation of the operational programmes (ERDF and ESF) in France for the 2007-20131 period. Performed based on the European thematic coding nomenclature for structural funds which applies to all member states, the analysis is organised in such a way as to make it possible to compare this overview with the thematic approach of the new programmes (please see details of the thematic objectives for 2014-2020, page 5). 1. Research, technological development and entrepreneurial spirit This nomenclature is comprised of the 17 themes shown opposite, presented in more detailed subthemes, to which each programmed project pertains. Themes 1 to 13 comprise the main areas of involvement for the 2007-2013 programmes and consequently each is covered by a specific information sheet. Themes 14 to 17 are dealt with as part of a more general analysis: 2. The information Society 3. Transport 4. Energy 5. Environment and risk prevention Methodological note Unless stated otherwise, the data on December 31, 2013, is taken from the Presage infocentre dated January 19, 2014. The totals shown (EU only, unless stated otherwise - ERDF or ESF according to the case in question) are shown in million Euros. For the European Territorial Cooperation objective (ETC), all programmes concerning metropolitan France and/or the overseas territories are taken into account, with the exception of the POCTEFA (France/Spain), Alpine Region, Alcotra (France / Italy), Italy/France Maritime and URBACT programmes, of which the data could not be analysed. The data from the «Caribbean» programme is not broken down by theme. For all of these programmes, only data from projects involving at least one French partner are taken into account, in order to report on the implementation of these programmes on French territory. 6. Tourism 7. Culture 8. Urban/rural regeneration 9. Improving the capacities of workers, companies and company managers 10. Improving access to employment and sustainability 11. Improving the social inclusion of disadvantaged persons Glossary 12. Development of human capital ERDF : European Regional Development Fund ESF : European Social Fund The regional competitiveness and employment objective (hereafter referred to as the « competitiveness objective » : concerns the metropolitan regions- ERDF/ESF Convergence objective : concerns the outermost regions (OMR) -ERDF/ESF European Territorial Cooperation objective (ETC): concerns crossborder, inter-regional and transnational cooperation programmes - ERDF 13. Investments in social infrastructure 14. Promoting reforms in the fields of employment and social inclusion 15. Improving institutional capacities at a national, regional and local level 16. Reducing costs hindering the development of outermost regions (OMR) 17. Technical assistance 1 The General Commission for Territorial Equality (CGET) has responsibility (as did previously the Delegation for Territorial Planning and Regional Action (Delegation interministerielle à l'amenagement du territoire et l'attractivité régionale - DATAR ), for the strategic monitoring of the national strategic reference framework (cadre de référence stratégique national -CRSN) concerning the ERDF - ESF structural funds for the period 2007-2013. A strategic report was produced in 2012 but this needs to be updated as the programming ratio of the funds is now at 99.83%. Nevertheless, we should point out that the payments are only at 48.78% and can be continued until the end of 2015, if the necessary items of proof are supplied by project sponsors. The following analysis is therefore provided subject to these reserves. 1
