This dataset provides the raw cumulative categorisation data on the projects selected for support as reported in the 322 ERDF/CF programme final implementation reports (FIR) as presented in the closure documeantation. The dataset is the best approximation of thematic content of what was financed during 2007-2013.

Each row presents a volume of EU support allocated to selected projects along with a combination of categorisation dimension codes. The Categorisation information system 2007-2013 was composed of 5 dimension providing information on:
- Priority themes (activities supported)
- Form of Finance
- Territorial context
- Location (NUTS codes)
- Economic Dimension

This raw data is of interest because it allows cross analysis of the different dimensions to answer questions such as:
- Which industries were supported under enterprise support measures? - (Comparing Priority themes vs Economic dimension)
- What sectors benefited from support to research activities
- What form of finance was used to deliver support to energy efficiency measures? - (comparing form of finance vs Priority theme)

More background information on the categorisation system 2007-2013 is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/policy/evaluations/data-for-research/

A version of this data as at the end of 2014 was previously published here: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/2007-2013/2007-2013-ERDF-CF-Categorisation-Projectselection-/b5xq-38ds

The planned categorisation amounts under certain dimension were also published in dataset for end-2008 and end-2015 : https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/2007-2013/SF-2007-2013-Categorisation-Planned-2008-and-2015/x2d8-jjj2

This is a historic dataset on amounts requested by Member States in their declarations of expenditure for the 2007-2013 EAFRD programming period. It provides the data per Declaration year, Quarter, Axis and Measure.

This is the final version of the dataset considering that all the programmes for the 2007-2013 programming period are now closed.
