Synthesis Report Ex-post Evaluation of the ERDF 2000-2006 This is much larger than the share of funding going to rail, which because of environmental concerns was stressed as being important at the beginning of the period. Of the rest, 6% went on developing urban transport systems, 5% on ports, 3% on airports and 3% on intermodal links. In Objective 2 regions in the EU15, a much smaller proportion of the ERDF than in Objective 1 regions went on roads (just 23% in total) and more went on modernising or expanding ports (18%) and intermodal links (16%), though the amounts involved were relatively small. The share of the ERDF going to roads was especially large in the four Cohesion countries in the EU15, this amounting to almost 70% in Ireland, over 60% in Greece, most of it going on motorway construction, almost 60% in Spain and 54% in Portugal. The share going to investment in roads was even larger in Germany – over 75% - most of the investment occurring in Objective 1 regions. In the other EU15 Member States, a smaller weight was given to roads, though except for Italy, the amounts involved were relatively small. In Italy, a slightly larger share of funding was devoted to investment in rail than roads (35% as against 31%). This was larger than in any other country, with only Spain and Austria of the other countries allocating over 30% of the ERDF to rail, though in the last, the amount involved was extremely small (only just over EUR 1 million). Leaving aside Austria, of the other transport modes, the share of funding for transport going: • to airports was less than 5% in all countries apart from Italy (8%) and the UK (5%); • to ports, less than 10% in all apart from the UK (10%), France (23%) and the Netherlands (11% - where again the amount involved was very small); • to urban transport, less than 10% in all except Ireland (31%), Portugal (16%0, the UK (20%) and the Netherlands (26%) and zero, or close to zero, in 8 of the 15 countries, including Spain and Germany; • to intermodal links, less than 3% in all except Finland, Portugal, the UK, France, Italy and the Netherlands, and zero in 6 countries. In the EU10 countries, the focus of funding on roads was equally marked and more general, though here improving the poor state of the road network had been accorded priority at the beginning of the programming period. Overall, some 52% of the ERDF was allocated to motorways or other roads - the latter, except in Poland – and only 16% to rail. In addition, 14% of funding went to urban transport and the same to waterways, but only very small shares to the other categories. This overall division of funding, however, largely reflects the division in Poland, which accounted for around two-thirds of the total ERDF allocated to transport in the EU10 countries. In a number of the other countries, the division was very different, though in most, roads absorbed well over half of the funding going to transport and in all, it was by far the largest item. Rail accounted for a significant share of funding only in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania apart from in Poland. Investment in ports was significant only in Estonia and Malta, and investment in urban transport only in the Czech Republic, Latvia and Lithuania, apart from in Poland. Other areas of investment were of minor importance in all countries, with the exception of waterways in Poland. 82

The evidence compiled by the evaluation indicates that much of the investment in transport cofinanced by the ERDF helped to alleviate some of the main problems in this area confronting 83
