THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006(1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8, the fifth subparagraph of Article 22(7) and the second subparagraph of Article 96(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 lays down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) which provide support under the cohesion policy and now operate under a common framework.
(2) The provisions in this Regulation are closely linked, since they deal with the fund-specific rules for each of the five European Structural and Investment Funds (the ‘ESI Funds’) on aspects common to three or more of them, i.e. a methodology for climate change support, the determination of milestones and targets in the performance framework and the nomenclature of categories of intervention and all affect the content of programmes. To ensure coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time to facilitate strategic programming of the ESI Funds, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and compact access to them by all Union residents, it is desirable to include these elements relevant for the programming of the ESI Funds to be set out by implementing acts as required by Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 in a single Regulation.
(3) Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, it is necessary to adopt a common methodology to determine the level of support for climate change objectives for each of the five ESI Funds. That methodology should consist of assigning a specific weighting to the support provided under the ESI Funds at a level which reflects the extent to which such support makes a contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation goals. The specific weighting assigned should be differentiated on the basis of whether the support makes a significant or a moderate contribution towards climate change objectives. Where the support does not contribute towards those objectives or the contribution is insignificant, a weighting of zero should be assigned. The standard weightings should be used to ensure a harmonised approach to tracking of climate change related expenditure across different Union policies. The methodology should nevertheless reflect the differences in the interventions of each of the different ESI Funds. In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, in the case of the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund weightings should be attached to categories of intervention established within the nomenclature adopted by the Commission. In the case of the EAFRD weightings should be attached to focus areas set out in Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) and in the case of the EMFF to measures set out in a future Union legal act establishing the condition for the financial support for maritime and fisheries policy for the 2014-2020 programming period.
(4) Pursuant to the fifth subparagraph of Article 22(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 it is also necessary to lay down detailed arrangements for determining the milestones and targets in the performance framework for each priority included in programmes supported by the ESI Funds and for assessing the achievement of those milestones and targets.
(5) The verification of whether the milestones and targets fulfil the conditions set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 requires recording of the information used for this purpose and of the methodological approach taken to establish the performance framework. While the inclusion of that information in programmes should be voluntary, such documentation should be available both to the Member State and to the Commission to inform the development of a performance framework which is consistent with Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.
(6) Achievement of milestones set in the performance framework is a precondition for the definitive allocation of the performance reserve and serious failure to achieve milestones may lead to suspension of interim payments. It is therefore important to set out detailed arrangements for setting milestones and to define precisely what constitutes achievement of milestones.
(7) Since achievement of targets set for the end of the programming period is an important measure of success delivering ESI Funds and serious failure to achieve targets may be the basis for a financial correction, it is important to state clearly the arrangements for setting targets and to clarify precisely what constitutes achieving targets or a serious failure to do so.
(8) In order to reflect the progress in implementation of operations under a priority, it is necessary to set out the characteristics of key implementation steps.
(9) In order to ensure that the performance framework reflects adequately the objectives and results sought for each Fund, or the Youth Employment Initiative, and category of region, where appropriate, it is necessary to set out specific provisions on the structure of the performance framework and on the assessment of the achievement of milestones and targets, where a priority covers more than one Fund or category of region. As only the ESF and the ERDF provide for financial allocations by category of region, the latter should not be considered relevant for the purposes of setting up a performance framework for the Cohesion Fund, the EAFRD and the EMFF.
(10) Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 96(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 it is necessary to specify common categories of intervention for the ERDF, the ESF and Cohesion Fund to enable Member States to submit to the Commission consistent information on the programmed use of the these Funds as well as information on the cumulative allocation and expenditure of these Funds by category and the number of operations throughout the application period of a programme. This is to enable the Commission to inform the other Union institutions and citizens of the Union in an appropriate manner about the use of the Funds. With the exception of categories of intervention which correspond directly to thematic objectives or investment priorities set out in Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 and in Fund-specific Regulations, the categories of intervention can be applied to support under different thematic objectives.
(11) In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 150(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, given that the Coordination Committee for the European Structural and Investment Funds established by Article 150(1) of that Regulation delivered an opinion,

1.The achievement of milestones and targets shall be assessed by taking into account all indicators and key implementation steps included in the performance framework set at the level of priority in the meaning of Article 2(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 except in cases referred to in Article 7 of this Regulation.
2.The milestones or targets of a priority shall be deemed to be achieved if all indicators included in the related performance framework have achieved at least 85 % of the milestone value by the end of 2018 or at least 85 % of the target value by the end of 2023. By way of derogation, where the performance framework includes three or more indicators, the milestones or targets of a priority may be deemed to be achieved if all indicators except for one achieve 85 % of their milestone values by the end of 2018 or 85 % of their target value by the end of 2023. The indicator, which does not achieve 85 % of its milestone or target value, shall not achieve less than 75 % of its milestone or target value.
3.For a priority whose performance framework includes no more than two indicators, a failure to achieve at least 65 % of the milestone value by the end of 2018 for either of these indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve milestones. A failure to achieve at least 65 % of the target value by the end of 2023 for either of these indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve the targets.
4.For a priority whose performance framework includes more than two indicators the failure to achieve at least 65 % of the milestone value by the end of 2018 for at least two of those indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve milestones A failure to achieve at least 65 % of the target value by the end of 2023 for at least two of these indicators shall be deemed a serious failure to achieve the targets.
1.The indicators and key implementation steps selected for the performance framework, their milestones and targets, as well as their achievement values shall be broken down by Fund and, for the ERDF and the ESF, by category of region.
2.The information required in Article 4(2) of this Regulation shall be set out by Fund and by category of region, where applicable.
3.The achievement of milestones and targets shall be assessed separately for each Fund and for each category of region within the priority, taking into account the indicators, their milestones and targets, and their achievement values broken down by Fund and category of region. Output indicators and key implementation steps set out in the performance framework shall correspond to more than 50 % of the financial allocation to the Fund and category of region, where applicable. For the purposes of establishing that amount, an allocation to an indicator or key implementation step shall not be counted more than once.
[F174.If the resources for the YEI are programmed as a part of a priority axis in accordance with Article 18(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013, a performance framework shall be established separately for the YEI and the achievement of milestones and targets set for the YEI shall be assessed separately from the other part of the priority axis.]]
