ERDF 2014-2020

Context document: its value does not lie in a date of its own — it is a capture of an institutional page — but in the continuity it attests.

What it documents

  • The official page of the Basque Government (euskadi.eus) on the Basque Country ERDF OP 2014-2020, with its programming and monitoring documentation.
  • The reference date assigned in this chronology — 1 January 2014 — corresponds to the start of the programme period, not to the capture: so it appears too in the portal's date register.

The continuity it fixes

The same bodies whose 2007-2013 management this file documents — Basque Government, SPRI — continued as managers of European funds in 2014-2020, under equivalent verification and control obligations. During that same period: the complaint (A.8), the trial (A.26), the appeals (A.28A.31) — with no investigation on record into the previous GAUZATU file.

The supervision question it opens

European legislation conditions the reliability of management systems on the correction of the irregularities detected. A file with the records of this one (A.4, A.5, A.6), with no known purging, coexists here with the attestation of new funds to the same circuit — the question this annex leaves raised before the Commission and OLAF.

How to verify it

The page is public: consult it and compare the obligations of the 2014-2020 period with those of the previous one (A.39.4, A.39.5). The institutional and normative continuity is verifiable in the official sources themselves.

The factThe managing circuit of the case's file continued to administer ERDF funds in 2014-2020, with no investigation on record into the documented irregularities of the previous period.
The questionWhat reliability does a management system attest that renews a period without purging the irregular file of the previous one?
