Synthesis Report Ex-post Evaluation of the ERDF 2000-2006 Overall, the Structural Funds allocated to Objective 1 and 2 regions amounted to around EUR 185.5 billion over the 2000-2006 period, or an average of EUR 26.5 billion a year. Of this, some EUR 170 billion went to the EU15 countries, mostly to finance expenditure in Objective 1 regions (86% of the total). National government co-financing amounted to another EUR 122.6 billion in EU15 countries and EUR 5.7 billion in the EU10 (Table 1.2).

Almost all of the ERDF over the period went to EU15 countries (92.5% of the ERDF), most of it to supporting Objective 1 regions (81% in the EU15, almost 99% in the EU10). The scale of funding varied markedly between countries reflecting their population size but equally importantly the level of GDP per head in their regions and the extent to which they, therefore, qualified for support under Objective 1. As in previous periods, the regions supported under this Objective were those with a GDP per head of less than 75% of the EU average at the time eligibility for funding was determined. In addition, those assisted during the previous programming period under Objective 1, but whose GDP per head had subsequently risen above 22

These 5 countries between them, therefore, received around 80% of the total funding going to EU15 Member States and almost 90% of the funding under Objective 1. As indicated below, almost all of the funds allocated had been spent by the end of 2008 in nearly all of the countries. It is likely that most of the remainder will be spent before the deadline imposed for the funds to be used. The above figures are, therefore, closely in line with the actual expenditure over the programming period. In terms of the scale of funding in relation to GDP, however, which is more relevant in the present context, the importance of the support provided varied somewhat differently between countries, 8 In practice, eligibility was determined by GDP per head in the latest two consecutive years for which data were available at the time the decision was made. There were also two regions, Mellersta Norrland and Övre Norrland, in Sweden which were in receipt of special support under Objective 1. 23
