COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1847
of 31 July 2019
amending Implementing Decision 2014/190/EU as regards the annual breakdown of the resources
from the specific allocation for the Youth Employment Initiative by Member State together with the
list of eligible regions
(notified under document C(2019) 5438)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013
laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion
Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying
down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and
the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (1), and in particular
Article 91(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/190/EU (2) sets out, among others, the annual breakdown by Member
State of resources from the specific allocation for the Youth Employment Initiative (‘YEI’), together with the list of
eligible regions for the YEI pursuant to Article 91(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.
(2) By Regulation (EU) 2019/711 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) amending Regulation (EU) No
1303/2013, the specific allocation for the YEI for 2019 has been increased.
(3) The regions eligible for the increase of the resources for the specific allocation for the YEI for 2019 are determined in
accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) by
making reference, however, to the latest available annual data on youth unemployment. Pursuant to Article 65(2) of
Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, expenditure under the YEI is eligible until 31 December 2023, both for the regions
already listed in the two lists of Annex IV to Implementing Decision 2014/190/EU and for the regions eligible for the
increase of the resources for the specific allocation for the YEI for 2019. The existing lists should therefore continue
to apply and should be complemented with a list of the regions eligible for the increase of the resources for the
specific allocation for the YEI for 2019. For reasons of clarity and transparency, Annex IV to Implementing
Decision 2014/190/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(1) OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 320.
(2) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/190/EU of 3 April 2014 setting out the annual breakdown by Member State of global
resources for the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund under the Investment for
growth and jobs goal and the European territorial cooperation goal, the annual breakdown by Member State of resources from the
specific allocation for the Youth Employment Initiative together with the list of eligible regions, and the amounts to be transferred
from each Member State’s Cohesion Fund and Structural Funds allocations to the Connecting Europe Facility and to aid for the most
deprived for the period 2014-2020 (OJ L 104, 8.4.2014, p. 13).
(3) Regulation (EU) 2019/711 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013
as regards the resources for the specific allocation for the Youth Employment Initiative (OJ L 123, 10.5.2019, p. 1).
(4) Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Social Fund
and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1081/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 470).5.11.2019 E N O f f i c i a l J o u r n a l o f t h e E u r o p e a n Union L 283/45
(4) In accordance with Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 the breakdown by Member State of the increased
resources for 2019 should follow the same steps applied for the initial allocation and the allocation of the resources
for 2017-2020. The annual breakdown of the specific allocation for the YEI set out in 2011 prices in Annex III to
Implementing Decision 2014/190/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) In order to allow Member States to plan ahead, the annual breakdown should also be provided in current prices to
reflect the indexation of 2 % per year in accordance with Article 91(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013. Annex X
to Implementing Decision 2014/190/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Implementing Decision 2014/190/EU should therefore be amended,
