Structural
Fund Projects in Spain
Since
1986, Spain has received major funding
from the EU Structural Funds (SF).
The Spanish Ministry of Economy
and Finance is responsible
for the coordination
of the application and management
of the SF
via the General Directorate of Community
Funds of the
General Secretariat of Finance
and Budgets. From here,
SF are distributed among the
management bodies of
the Autonomous Regions.
In
2000-2006, Spain has received
a total
of 55,025 Million euros
(1999 prices).
The Beneficiaries
of
Objective
nº 1 were 12 Spanish
regions (Andalusia, Asturias,
the Canary Islands,
Castilla y
Leon, Castilla-La
Mancha, Ceuta, the Community
of Valencia,
Extremadura, Galicia,
Melilla,
Murcia and Cantabria).
The beneficiaries of
Objective nº 2
were the Autonomous
Communities of Aragon,
the Balearic Isles,
Catalonia, Madrid, Navarre,
the Basque
Country and La Rioja.
The regional applications are selected
for each Objective
based on a series of multi-annual programming
documents drafted by the
Spanish State in cooperation with
the regions.
Most
of these
resources
have been
used to
build
or improve roads and
motorways. In the renewable-energy
field the investments are mainly
in solar
energy
source.
Future
In
2007-2013 Spain will receive about 31,536 Million euros (2004 prices).
This is about 60% of the amount
received in the previous period. The number of the eligible regions are
also decreasing. Next period, only Andalusia,
Castilla-La
Mancha, Extremadura and
Galicia will be beneficiaries of
Convergence Objective (former Objective
nº 1).
