Focus of NSRs 2012
• Clear picture on programme implementation and achievements of CP compared to its objectives – evidence on the performance and effectiveness
• Assessing impacts of the economic and financial crisis on the programmes
• Contribution to Europe 2020 and Growth Compact
• A source of input to the next round of programming - good data quality important
Regional PolicyRegional Policy
Time Schedule
• June 2012 • Submission of OP annual reports
• July 2012• Following the submission of the 2011 AIRs, the Commission
will engage in quality checks and seek to correct with the programmes the clear inaccuracies – Deadline 30/9/2012
• October 2012• Commission will present the MS with a harmonised analysis of
the data from the AIR• Commission will provide each MS with an extract from its

Core Indicators 2012: Progress Achieved
• Results of 2011:• Programmes accelerating, progress against all core indicators• Reporting on targets have improved but achievements are
still better reported• Increased coverage but not all OPs reporting core indicators• Reporting actual values (instead of contracted) increased
• Many technical problems seem resolved• Decimals: dot vs. comma• Typos or incomprehensible numbers

Most Frequent Problems
Much of the data in SFC is still of insufficient quality for automatic aggregation. Recurrent mistakes:•Not Cumulative (vs. annual) values •Incorrect Measurement units – i.e. measurement unit for induced investment (m€ vs €)•Missing target values•Baselines are included in target values•Quality of job creation indicator: completion vs. construction, double counting, men+women

Categorisation - introductory remarks
• Categorisation … vital part of monitoring, transparency, strategic reports
• An information system (not control / eligibility) for tracking financial inputs
• Decided• Programmed• Reprogramming
• Allocated to projects, by MS, Objective, themes• But not procured or spent
• Progress, improvements in reliability

1 a) Allocated reported by Member States 2009-2010-2011
• Compare each MS to EU average .. why?• Different selection procedures / definitions• Different balances between Infrastructure and
soft measures
• Remaining data weaknesses (+/- 8 bn € corrections 2011):
• Annualised / non cumulative reporting; • Some reports not based on selection but
procurement, spending;• Missing / incomplete / erroneous data.

MS trends
NB: Differences in selection definitions … but expect that MS uses it own defintion consistently•Some MS have already front loaded – 100% selection(risk of dormant projects ? failure in implementation?)•Some MS have indicated that open selection processes will soon see full allocation (i.e. DE, PL, UK)•Other MS have still have to formalise significant selection processes

Thematic trends
• Data already 11 Months old … long time lag • Persistent sectoral delays in some MS clear
Rail, Energy, Broadband, Capacity Building, Etc;
• Growing signs of over / under programming not reflected in formal reprogramming;

Convergence 2007-2013 – AIR 2011 – rate of selection by Lisbon earmarks

1 d) Reprogramming
• Can take different forms• Thematic reprogramming (see below) • Reprogramming co-financing
Increase co-financing within regulatory limitsTop up (programme countries)
• Reprogramming to accelerate use flexibility within priority axes
Regional PolicyRegional Policy
1 d) Decided thematic reprogramming – 28 billion € - 8% total EU
NB : IE = 41%
