643.

[36129/15]
View answerThe following table shows the initial allocation and actual expenditure figures for each of the seven completed programmes co-funded by the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) in Ireland to date.
The European Commission's Ex-post evaluation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) published in August 2015, indicates that across the 73 completed EGF programmes in various member states which were evaluated, the average budget implementation rate was 55%. While the average return of unused EU financial contribution under the EGF was 45%, this varied widely on a programme by programme basis between 0% to 97% reimbursements. Overall across the 7 closed Irish programmes, the average budget implementation rate was 60%.
