Regulatory context
Member States expected to “improve the quality of spending” through:•more strategic coherence – with Europe 2020
•thematic concentration – on key EU priorities
•better performance – make results visible

Strategic coherence
Focus is on ensuring a more strategic and coordinated (even integrated) use of the Funds e.g. through:
• coordinating committees for different Funds
• joint managing authorities for different programmes
• single programmes for all Funds
• simplifying access for applicants to all EU funding (Structural Funds, Horizon 2020 etc)o single application pointso harmonising eligibility rules

Thematic concentrationFocus of spending on a limited number of objectives to:
• maximise the contribution of Cohesion policy to Europe 2020
• achieve a critical mass of support
Programming preparations indicate more spending on:• energy-related themes (energy efficiency, renewables and
low-carbon economy)• research, technological development and innovation; ICT• education/human capital• social inclusion and health
Less support for 'hard' infrastructure, such as transport

Better performanceNeed for clearly specified objectives, results and the new intervention logic to:
• support programming, monitoring, assessment of achievements • emphasis on the effectiveness and efficiency of interventions
Managing authorities are making some efforts to: • improve coherence of programme objectives with indicators and
targets • use fewer monitoring indicators • ensure better comparability across regions, programmes
However, there appears to be a major gap between Commission expectations and action at programme level
