3.2.2 Implementation of the 2004-2006 allocation by the EU-10 Member
States
Chart 14 below shows the breakdown of total execution by the EU-10 Member States of their
2004-2006 allocations.
Chart 14: Total execution at the end of 2012 (cumulative payments at the end of 2011 plus new payments
in 2012 plus cumulative de-commitments) by EU-10 Member States (mainstream programmes and
Community Initiative EQUAL) compared to the national allocation available for the period 2004-06
As a result of an accelerating closure process, the annual payment execution for EU-10
Member States corresponded to 2.8% of their 2004-2006 allocations (as compared to 1.4% in
2011). Closure decommitments accounted for an additional 0.1% of the allocation. Thus, the
average cumulative execution rate reached 99.3% after 96.4% the year before. At Member
State level, after Malta and Cyprus in 2011, Latvia and Slovenia also reached 100% of
execution and Lithuania 99.9%. On the other hand only Slovakia and the Czech Republic still
have more than 1% of their allocations remaining to be executed.
