This dataset provides information on expected achievements (targets) set for ERDF and Cohesion Fund programmes **specific indicators** defined by national and regional programmes, the decided (forecasts from selected projects) and implemented values.

The reference date for the annual reporting of progress by the programmes achievements is the end of each calendar year.
This dataset contains:
- Time series of the cumulative amounts reported annually for decided and implemented values (i.e. 2016 values include the 2015 values);
- To avoid double counting, the cumulative values from different years **should NOT be aggregated**;
- Allows comparison of the targets year on year (targets change with reallocation of financial resources);
- Allows comparison of decided (forecast) and implemented values with the targets set (allowing users to calculate the % rate of progress);

For more information on the common indicators' definitions used by each fund please go to the "Related Information" sections at the bottom of the fund specific pages and the data on the **common indicators** is available in this separate dataset: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/2014-2020/ESIF-2014-2020-Achievement-Details/aesb-873i

Under the CRIII+ proposals, at the request of a country, the resources available for programming for the year 2020, could be transferred between the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund.
The dataset below show the increase and decreases in EU funding by country, programme fund and category of region since the adoption of the CRII package. As no new EU funds were available the sum of changes overall is normally "zero" (increases = decreases).

This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund, Youth Employment Initiative) for the 2014-2020 period and summarizes the financial allocations after the adoption of the Partnership Agreements.

This dataset presents information on EU payments to the ESI Funds programmes as well as to FEAD, IPA-E and ENI supported programmes.
Annual snapshots are provided in the data and therefore the data **must** be filtered by year to have an accurate view of the total EU planned amount and payments made.
Data is reported on cumulative basis, i.e. the amounts shown in 2017 represent the cumulative payments made from the beginning of the programming period (2014-2017 up to date).
The dataset is updated on a daily basis.
