6. Programming process
Partnership Agreements
Partnership agreements between the European Commission and individual EU
countries set out the national authorities' plans on how to use funding from the
European Structural and Investment Funds between 2014 and 2020. They outline each
country's strategic goals and investment priorities, linking them to the overall aims of
the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Position Papers
Based on the lessons learnt during the 2007-2013 programming period and the
Commission's legislative proposals for 2014-2020, the Commission prepared for each
Member State a position paper on the development of Partnership Agreement and
programmes for the period 2014-2020.
Operational programmes
The programmes are prepared by each member state and present the priorities
selected by the national and regional authorities for the programme period.
