THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy (1), and in particular Article 108(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) support the Investment for jobs and growth goal in all regions corresponding to level 2 of the common classification of territorial units for statistics (hereinafter referred to as ‘NUTS level 2’), which was established by Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2066 (3).

(2)

In order to set out an appropriate financial framework for the ERDF and the ESF+, it is necessary that the Commission set up a list of regions fulfilling the respective criteria laid down in Annex XXVI to Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of each of the three categories of regions (less developed regions, transition regions and more developed regions) at NUTS level 2.

(3)

For the same reason, it is also necessary that the Commission set up the list of Member States that are eligible for funding from the Cohesion Fund in accordance with Article 108(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060.

(4)

For reasons of transparency, the codes and names of the NUTS level 2 regions applicable from 1 January 2021 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003, as amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1755 (4), should also be included into the Annexes to this Decision.

(5)

The list of eligible regions and Member States should therefore be set up accordingly,
