Who are the winners and losers from the 7/8 February 2013 summit? The European Council on 7-8 February 2013 agreed a Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) containing a new methodology for allocating Cohesion policy funding. Although the MFF may be revised by the European Parliament, a key question is what the Council conclusions might mean for the allocation of Structural and Cohesion Funds to the Member States.
Based on EPRC calculations, this EPRC Policy Briefing provides a preliminary assessment of how Cohesion policy might be allocated. The Briefing can be downloaded here.
