The Council of the European Union adopted on the 5th of December 2013 the regulation facilitating the use of Structural and Cohesion funds for the current programming period, which has already been approved by the European Parliament (late November) and the European Commission. The regulation aims to decrease the impact of the current economic crisis.

The Cohesion Fund concerns Member States with a Gross National Income (GNI) per inhabitant of less than 90% of the EU-average. Compared to 2007-2013, Spain will no longer be eligible for funding from the Cohesion Fund (Spain is currently eligible to a phase-out fund because its GNI is less than the EU-15 average). In 2014-2020 Cyprus will receive phasing-out support. For the rest, all other country beneficiaries are the same as in 2007-2013.
