Page 7 / 80 1 Definition of the issue 1.1 Brief presentation of EU funds For the purpose of better presentation, the available EU funds described below are divided into two categories: (a) those for projects in EU member states and (b) those for projects outside the EU (in non-EU countries). The first category of funds aims to achieve internal EU objectives such as cohesion, competitiveness, employment, sectoral objectives, pre-competitive development etc. The second category of funds covers the requirements of the EU’s external policy in third countries, i.e. in all poorer countries around the world. 1.1.1 EU funds for EU member states The EU funds that provide financing for projects in EU member states (MS) are: • The Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund The structural funds are: The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) The European Social Fund (ESF) The European Agricultural Fund (EAF) The Fisheries Fund (FF) The common aim of these funds is to strengthen economic and social cohesion in order to promote the harmonious, balanced, and sustainable development of the EU. The specific objectives of the Structural Funds are changing over time 8 (in accordance with the strategic goals at EU level set for each multi-annual programming period). More specifically the objectives served are presented in Annex 1. In addition to these Structural Funds, the EC created (in 1993) and uses The Cohesion Fund (CF), which has a similar structure and area of implementation to the Structural Funds, operates under close coordination with them, and shares with them the same common aims. The Cohesion Fund was set up to help less prosperous MS 9 resolve a dilemma: to provide the vital development of infrastructure needed for their trans-European transport networks and environmental protection while ensuring that the high cost of these major works does not undermine their budgetary efforts to meet the economic and monetary union criteria and thus reduce their inequalities compared to the most developed MS. 8 In the text that follows, reference is made in two ‘programming periods’, i.e. 2000-2006 and 2007-2013, which are implemented in the periods 2000-2008 and 2007-2015 respectively, since presently (2008) we are in one of the common years of implementation for both periods. 9 Today, this is defined as those MS that have a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita that is below 90% of the EU (27) average.
