Cohesion Policy at work: key outcomes of EU investments in 2007-2013

On 7 October 2016, the European Commission released the findings of an independent evaluation of European Union investments done in the 2007-2013 span, with concrete reports for each Member State.

The key results found were: one million jobs created, corresponding to one-third of overall net job creation across the EU during that period and €2.74 of additional GDP for every euro of Cohesion Policy money invested, meaning an estimated return of €1 trillion of additional GDP by 2023.
