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
88.48% of the population of the Slovak Republic living in the
regions of Stredné Slovensko, Východné Slovensko and Západné
Slovensko will continue to be eligible for regional investment aid at
maximum aid intensities varying between 25% and 35% of the
eligible costs of the relevant investment projects.
| As compared with the Slovak regional aid map currently in force, the aid
intensities will be 15% lower in the new map, in line with the new regional
aid guidelines.
AID PERCENTAGESMAXIMUM
| The region of Bratislava, where 11.52% of the Slovak population lives,
has a GDP per capita exceeding 100% of the EU average and will thus not
be eligible for regional aid between 1 July 2014 and 31 December 2020.
| This does not alter the current situation, since this region ceased to be
eligible for aid under the current map in 2009 after a transitional period
where aid was allowed with a 10% intensity.
