The five European Structural and Investment Funds;
| The European Regional Development Fund
| The European Social Fund
| The Cohesion Fund
| The European Maritime and Fisheries Fund
| The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development
ESI FUNDSTHE 5
| EU Member States are required to draw up and implement
strategic plans with investment priorities covering the five ESI
Funds.
| These Partnership Agreements (PAs) are negotiated between the
European Commission and national authorities, following their
consultation of various levels of governance, representatives from
interest groups, civil society and local
and regional representatives.
AGREEMENTSPARTNERSHIP
The new map will be in force between 1 July 2014 and 31 December 2020. It covers sparsely populated areas accounting for 24.18% of Finland's population.
| Finland has also designated the Salo sub-region as an area undergoing a major structural change with a total population of 64,087 or 1.181% of the national population.
| As Finland was entitled to a population ceiling of 1.85% under this latter category, this leaves a reserve of 0.669% for designating other areas in need.
AID PERCENTAGESMAXIMUM
| The maximum level of aid that can be granted to investment projects carried out by large companies is 15% of total investment costs in sparsely populated areas and 10% in the Salo subregion. For investments carried out by SMEs, these percentages can be increased.
| While the population coverage is lower than in the previous aid map (by around seven percentage points), the overall aid intensities have remained the same, with the Salo subregion being designated for the first time.
| This is in line with the objectives of the new regional aid guidelines, which aim at focusing support on the most disadvantaged regions of Europe..

| Exp.1st grant calls Q1 2015 for funding priorities related to OP’s
OPs should be submitted by Member States within 3 months following the
submission of the Partnership Agreement.
The Commission makes observations within 3 months and adopts the OP
no later than 6 months from the date of its submission.
PLANNING
The PA focuses on the following priorities:
|• promoting innovative and competitive business and research environment
•| increasing labour market participation through improved employment,
social inclusion and education policies
•| reinforcing sustainable and efficient use of resources for environment
friendly growth
PRIORITIESFUNDING
ESI Funds will assist Finland in achieving national targets of
EU2020 and its flagship initiatives:
•| R&I expenditure in relation to GDP is to increase from 3.73% (2011)
to 4.0% (2020).
|• Funds will contribute to diversifying the economic base of Finnish
regions via smart specialization.
RESULTSEXPECTED
•| Internationalization and competitiveness of SMEs is strengthened.
•| In relation to energy objectives, ESI Funds will provide a significant
contribution to increase the share of use of renewable energy from
33% (2011) to 38% (2020).
•| The Funds will contribute to an increased employment rate (target
78%) and reduced poverty and exclusion (by 150 thousand
inhabitants).
RESULTSEXPECTED
In 2014-2020 Finland is allocated around €1.47 billion for
Cohesion Policy (ERDF and ESF) including €161.3 million for the
territorial cooperation.
| Additional €2.38 billion will be devoted to development of the agricultural
sector and rural areas from the EAFRD.
| The allocation for EMFF amounts to €74.4 million.
ALLOCATIONSFINANCIAL
Cohesion policy delivery will be simplified through a reduction of
the number of operational programmes from seven in the previous
period to two in the 2014-20 period;
| There will be two multifund operational programmes (OPs), co-financed
by ERDF and ESF (OP mainland Finland and OP Åland Islands).
| Moreover there are two Rural Development Programmes financed by
EAFRD (mainland Finland RDP and Åland Islands RDP) and one Maritime
and Fisheries Fund programme financed by EMFF.
