2023 VII Summary Contribution of programmes in the 2014-2020 programming period

The synthesis report has a dual purpose. Firstly, it provides a summary of the main results of the sixth thematic report on Action 2.3 of the ERDF's (European Regional Development Fund) Regional Operational Programme carried out in 2022 and, secondly, it describes the performance of the financial instruments implemented within EU programmes.

The executive summary focuses on the second part of the synthesis, particularly the financial instruments activated under the EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development) by the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region.

The synthesis reports on the state of play of the Regional Revolving Fund, which was identified by the 2016 Regional Law 24 as a financial instrument for financing Rural Development Programme (RDP) measures related to “improving the performance and overall sustainability of agricultural holding” (in particular Measure 4.1.4) and “investments for the processing, marketing and development of agricultural products” (in particular Measure 4.2.3).

Concerning measure 4.1.4, at the end of 2018, the Regional Revolving Fund registered 49 recipients identified after two calls, for a total of EUR 6 775 000. Overall, for this intervention, the total amount advanced by the fund to the financial institute is EUR 9 556 219 (in three cases, however, there is still no disbursement). The amounts financed range from a minimum of EUR 14 640 to a maximum of EUR 2 000 000.

Concerning Measure 4.2.3, eight final recipients have been identified, of which only five have signed a contract with the financial institute. Overall, the amount paid to recipients was EUR 8 010 027 compared with an amount advanced by the fund to the financial institute of EUR 8 119 800. In this case, the average value financed is EUR 1 014 975. This intervention seems to finance projects larger than those under Measure 4.1.4. In this case, the minimum amount is EUR 71 248, while the maximum is EUR 1 960 000. During 2019, the resources allocated to the fund were fully used.
