Common output indicators (2014-2020 Interreg). What are they?
The so-called CPR, or Common-Provisions Regulation, set out, for all the ESI Funds’ programmes in the 2014-2020 programming period, an intervention logic based on thematic objectives, which were further subdivided into investment priorities. Basically, each programme was to choose, from the defined set of thematic objectives and investment priorities, the ones that it would use as its own.
The very same regulation also defined that each programme would set out indicators and corresponding targets (either qualitative or quantitative) for themselves. They were to be financial indicators, output indicators, and result indicators. For Interreg, the so-called ETC Regulation defined, in its annex, a set of common output indicators that Interreg programmes could choose from and use as their own.
As several programmes used the same common output indicators, keep.eu uses them as a means to search and to cluster programmes. Besides, as keep.eu contains the geographical areas served by each programme, it becomes quite simple to understand which regions in the European Union are served by programmes sharing the same common output indicator.
The list of common output indicators defined by the ETC regulation is as follows:
- Number of enterprises receiving support
