This dataset provides the planned EU allocation to categorisation system codes as adopted in ERDF, CF and ESF programmes at the end 2008 and the end of 2015.

Each row presents a volume of EU support allocated to a 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

The programme documents only provided planned financial information on three dimensions, namely;
- Priority themes (activities supported)
- Form of Finance
- Territorial context

This data is of interest because it allows an analysis of time of the planned use of the EU support by 3 different dimensions. I show the detailed changes in thematic allocation between 2008 and 2015.
