In 2013, the Prime Minister secured the first ever cut to the seven-year EU Budget Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). As a result, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility\u2019s (OBR\u2019s) latest forecast, UK net contributions to the EU Budget going forward will, on average, be lower per year than in 2013/14 \u2013 the final year of the last seven-year deal secured by the previous Government \u2013 not higher. The Government supports the objectives of the European Structural and Investment Funds. These programmes are now more strongly focused on results following the implementation of a rigorous performance framework sought by the UK and other net payers during MFF negotiations. The Government is committed to continue to ensure maximum restraint and maximum value for money when it comes to EU expenditure.<\/p>

The Government has established a governance model for the England 2014-2020 European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme. It gives local partners a key advisory role. The Operational Programmes which set out the spending priorities for these Funds have been drafted to reflect priorities identified by local partners including Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs).<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government will review the position on the governance model in the next twelve months and will work with LEPs and other local partners during this time to develop proposals for greater local responsibility.<\/p>

The United Kingdom receives an allocation for the Structural Funds (the European Regional Development Fund and European Social Fund) but not the Cohesion Fund.<\/p>

<\/p>

A large number of United Kingdom organisations received European Funding under Structural Funds programmes in the last year. As these are too numerous to set down here, I have provided below details of websites which contain lists of beneficiary organisations.<\/p>

In terms of other sources of EU funding that BIS is responsible for, this includes the Framework Programme 7 for Research & Innovation with numerous participants from Higher Education, Research Organisations, Private Sector and Public bodies. Project information is not set out on the Commission website in such a way as to make it easy to identify UK recipients of EU funding in a calendar year.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Another source of EU funding that BIS was responsible for was the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP) under the Competitiveness of Innovation and Enterprises (CIP). The latest beneficiaries report is the 2012 version. The following link will provide more information about the recipients of the programme, Beneficiaries Report October 2012 Final Version<\/a> \u2013 http://ec.europa.eu/cip/files/cip/docs/beneficiaries-report-october-2012.en.pdf<\/a><\/p>
