This data story provides an overview of the EU budget's absorption under "shared management" programmes in terms of net EU payments by Fund and by Member State. It covers the 2014-2020 and the 2021-2027 programming periods respectively (also called Multiannual Financial Frameworks - MFF). 
The data is refreshed each working day to reflect the most recent payment position. All amounts are in current prices. 

2014-2020 programming period

2014-2020 MFF

The Common Provisions Regulation (CPR) 2014-2020 funds included in this report are:

-   European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)

- Overview by Fund

The graph below provides an overview of the total absorption of the 2014-2020 budget by Fund. REACT-EU amounts are reflected separately below.
The EAFRD data provides net payments for the rural development programmes 2014-2020, prolonged until 2022 under the transitional rules. The EAFRD allocation and payment amounts currently combine 2014-2022 MFF and the European Union Recovery Instrument (EURI) amounts. 
Reading the charts and tables:
- The data reflect the latest payment position and may be refreshed each working day. In case there are no new payments on a working day the tables show the latest payment position.
- "ERDF" includes national and Interreg funding. To identify ERDF related Interreg payments look for "TC" (territorial cooperation) in the country table.

- Overview by Member State

The graph below provides an overview of the total absorption of the 2014-2020 budget by Member State for the same funds presented above.
REACT-EU amounts under ERDF, ESF and FEAD are not included in this tabular overview. 
Notes:
- Country specific EU payment by fund can be found on the cohesion open data fund pages (MFF  + REACT-EU aggregated), with all data provided in more detail in this dataset.
- GR = EL in the 2014-2020 datasets.
- TC = Territorial Cooperation / Interreg funded by ERDF in EU-28. Payments to third countries under IPA and NDICI are not included.

REACT-EU (NextGenerationEU funding)

REACT-EU constitutes additional EU budget resources financed by the EU Recovery Plan - NextGenerationEU.  A further €50 billion (current prices) was allocated in 2021 and 2022 as a top-up to the 2014-2020 cohesion policy  to ERDF and ESF programmes and to FEAD programmes in the Member States .
The legal framework for the implementation of REACT-EU resources is set in the 2014-2020 CPR (Regulation (EU) 1303/2013). Therefore, the same deadlines in terms of eligibility and closure for the MFF part of the programmes apply also to the part financed by REACT-EU.  
The graphs below show the absorption of REACT-EU budgetary envelope (2021-2022 NGEU commitments) by Fund and by Member State.
