Summary: The European Commission welcomed the adoption of the Dutch national Operational Programme for the implementation of the European Social Fund in the period 2014-2020. This programme outlines the priorities and objectives to spend €1.014 billion (of which over €500 million from the EU budget), contributing to strengthening economic growth in all Dutch regions and to achieving the Europe 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. In 2014-2020 the ESF focuses on the lower end of the labour market, investing 71% of the allocation to social inclusion measures to help those at the margins of the labour market to find a job. Another novelty is the integrated approach with the European Regional Development Fund in areas with special needs in the four largest cities in the Netherlands. |
