Study: 'Gold-Plating in European Structural and Investment Funds'

European Parliament

  • Start Date: July 2016

  • Status: Complete

The overall objective of this study is to analyse gold-plating in European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds) in view of their impacts on the administrative work and burden for programme bodies and beneficiaries under all five ESI Funds (ERDF, CF, ESF, EAFRD, EMFF). The study is built on a mixed-scanning and analysis approach: desktop analysis of literature and documents and interviews with selected players in Member States ( MAs, AAs, CBs, National coordination body, beneficiaries, etc.) and focus groups to test and verify findings and recommendations. 

The report of the study is available here.
