Thematic Overview 2007-2013 of The ERDF-ESF Programming - (Page 61)

Between 2007 and 2013, 100,000 projects were financed in metropolitan France, in the outermost regions (Guadeloupe, Guiana, Martinique, Reunion) and via European Territorial Cooperation by the structural funds, (ERDF - European Regional Development Fund; ESF - European Social Fund). Today, at the start of the 2014-2020 programming period, this thematic overview presents an analysis and a summary of the use of these funds in the various areas concerned (regions of metropolitan France, outermost regions, interregional areas and cross border areas, etc.). It puts these results in perspective vis-a-vis the guidelines of the new wave of programming focusing on growth and employment as part of the Europe 2020 strategy. For the 2014-2020 period, the CGET is the authority with responsibility for coordinating the European funds in France. In this capacity, it coordinates the preparation and tracking of the partnership agreement defining the strategy for the use of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) in France. It provides support for the authorities with responsibility for deploying the European funds (regulatory dialogue, monitoring and assessment, communication, training, information system, etc.) particularly via the Europ'Act 2014¬2020 programme, which follows on from the Europ'Act 20072013 programme. For the seven years to come, the overall total for the ESIF is approximately €28 billion. Within this figure, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) represent €15.5 billion, and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) €11.4 billion. The budgetary envelope for the European Maritime & Fisheries Fund (EMFF) has not yet been defined. Eric DELZANT, General Commissionar for territorial equality, acting KNOWING european programmes is a collection initiated by the Europ'Act European technical support and coordination programme. This collection is designed to provide the stakeholders of the European cohesion policy in France with elements to reflect upon with a view to reinforcing and improving the monitoring and steering of European programmes. It includes several types of support such as survey summaries, analytical tools and conceptual frameworks.

The CGET should make it possible to do away with the compartmentalised approach of public policies in order to instead favour a cross-cutting mindset. Indeed, subjects such as access to public services, developing the capacities of each area, supporting economic change, encouraging the transition to a green economy, urban planning or the creation of local sustainable and non-relocatable jobs requires a decompartmentalised approach. http://www.europe-en-france.gouv.fr http://www.europ-act.eu
