This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund,Youth Employment Initiative).

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 provides time series information on the financial implementation on the ground of the 530+ ESI Funded programmes. The data is cumulative, i.e. 2016 values included the finances implemented for 2015. Therefore the value for different years **MUST NOT BE AGGREGATED**

The financial implementation data is disaggregated by fund, programme, priority axis, thematic objective and category of regions (where available). The data is provided by the managing authorities of the 530+ programmes on at least an annual basis. For some funds the data is provided more regularly:

- ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI: financial data is provided to the Commission 3 times a year on 31/1, 31/7 and 31/10 with data up until 31/12, 30/6 and 30/9 respectively;
- EAFRD: Financial data is to the Commission biannually on 31/1 and 30/09 with data up until 31/12 and 30/08 respectively;
- EMFF: data is provided to the Commission annually up until 31/12.

A detailed description of all the variables in the dataset is provided in the metadata file ESIF_Implemented Finance_Data_Description_of_Dataset_20161219.xlsx (in Attachments below).

Further details on the "finances implemented" data and the other forms of are provided also in the About section of FAQs accessible from the platform - http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/faq/about_open_data/#8

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
