Special Report No 15/2000 on the Cohesion Fund, together with the Commission’s replies

For the period 1993 to 1999 a total budget of EUR 15150 million (1992 prices) was allocated to the Cohesion Fund (CF) in order to co-finance, at the rate of between 80 % and 85 % of the public expenditure involved, projects in the field of the environment and in the area of transport infrastructure in Spain, Greece, Ireland and Portugal. The Court examined the Commission's management of the CF and its implementation in the Member States, both from the point of view of the legality/regularity of the transactions and of the measures taken to evaluate the effectiveness of these transactions.
