In the Financial Outlook for 2007-2013 and for the Cohesion Category for growth and employment, an indicative allocation was approved between states for funds allocated to this category (€307.619 million for 2004). Spain is to receive 10.25% of total funds for this item throughout the schedule period.
In order to absorb this help, all member states should establish a multiannual schedule for the period above. Rules on fund management, certification to Brussels and the controls to which such costs should be subjected also need to be drawn up.
