Key points

  • Delays in implementing ESI Funds are hindering the ability of the EU to reduce economic and social disparities between regions.
  • The delays were caused by late budget negotiations and the late adoption of regulations governing these funds.
  • There is a significant risk that large amounts of money will be lost through decommitments if the current pace of implementation does not increase.
  • The European Parliament calls for a 'Cohesion acceleration plan' to be presented in the first quarter of 2017.
