** NEW 2/2021**: new COVID indicators were added linked to support to the vaccination effort.

**NEW 11/2020**: New reserved CV indicator are added to retain the possibility to extend the list.

During 2020, many countries and regions will amend their ERDF and ESF programmes to transfer funds to actions targeting the COVID-19 response. Several programmes have discussed with the Commission their plans to add programmes specific indicators for new actions targeting the COVID-19 response to capture the outputs from expenditure.
In order to exploit programme specific indicators, which could be commonly applied across Member States, the Commission services proposed a voluntary list of such indicators to the Member States on 12 May, to be used when relevant. The use of the unique codes and names will allow the Commission to make use of the monitoring done by the cooperating programmes. A wide use of these codes and indicators would be highly valued for accountability, transparency and communication at the National and EU levels. It the programmes take up these specific indicators the targets will become available later in 2020 with the first annual report on implementation due in May 2021.

NOTE:
1. On 10 July the file was modified to better reflect the possible uses of the ESF indicators as outputs or result indicators (separate columns added for both types).

Greenhouse gases (GHG) are naturally present in the Earth’s atmosphere, but human activity has increased their concentration exponentially since the industrial revolution. Explore the targets set and the progress reported annually under the ERDF common indicator "Estimated annual decrease of GHG" in this data story.

This page displays "common" COVID-19 indicator targets and reported progress used under the CRII/CRII+ and REACT-EU initiatives.

REACT-EU provides € 50.6 billion (current prices) of fresh EU budget resources under the EU Recovery Plan - NextGenerationEU - to address COVID response in existing cohesion policy programmes. Check out where and for what purposes the extra money is being used.

This dataset presents information on EU payments to the Regional Policy 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.
