The EU Solidarity Fund - EUSF - was established in 2002 following severe floods in Central Europe.Between 2002 and 2018, the EUSF mobilised a total of over EUR 5.5 billion for interventions in 87 disaster events. Italy is by far the biggest beneficiary of the Fund with almost 2.8 billion received so far.

Based on #ESIFopendata, this dashboard gives insights into the take up of the main CRII/CRII+ measures in response to the coronavirus / COVID-19 crisis.

The 2014-2020 ERDF and Cohesion Fund programmes saw reinforced use of common indicators to measure investment outputs. How does the system work?

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 report provides an overview and details of the latest version adopted by EC or MS of the Operational Programmes (OP) in SFC2014 Front Office. It also displays the increase/ decrease of the EU Amount between two dates.

Parameters:
- Funds : ERDF and ESF
- Categories of intervention codes : 053, 081, 107 and 112
- Lower limit date: 31/01/2020
- Upper limit date: current date

As part of the CRII/CRII+ package, at the request of a country, the expenditure declared in 2020-2021 accounting exercise could be financed 100% by EU resources. This option of 100% European co-financing is one of the most popular measures with the majority of modified programmes making use of this possibility.

The data below shows the number modified programmes with 100% EU co-financing in relation to the total number of cohesion policy programmes by country (TC = Interreg programmes). The table also counts the total number of priority exes (investments envelopes) and the number with 100% EU cofinancing.

This file contains enterprise related "categorisation data", showing the total programmed/reprogrammed amounts and the increases / decreases, from the ERDF/ESF programmes as adopted since 1/2/2020 mainly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The data is in current prices. It is updated daily to reflect reprogramming by the programmes.
Parameters:
- Funds : ERDF and ESF
- Categories of intervention (24) codes : 001, 002, 003, 004, 056, 057, 062, 063, 064, 065, 066, 067, 068, 069, 070, 071, 072, 073, 074, 075, 076, 077, 104, 106.
- Lower limit date: 31/01/2020
- Upper limit date: current date

The categorisation system is defined in Implementing Regulation 215/2014 with 8 dimensions - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32014R0215. These dimension represent different ways of categorising the nature of the EU support (i.e. the intervention (activity) field, the form of finance, the territorial context, etc.). In this report only the health Intervention Fields are presented.

You can check the results of your aggregation of the financial data by comparing results with the pre-formatted charts profiled on this metadata page under “featured content”.

**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).
