The first annual monitoring report on the implementation of the Structural Reform Support Programme has been released. In 2017, 159 requests from 16 member states were selected for funding under the programme.

The 2017 annual monitoring report shows that the programme can significantly contribute to the efforts of the member states' authorities to identify and overcome structural weaknesses in the design and implementation of reforms.

Euro and Social Dialogue, Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis (pictured) said: "The Annual Growth Survey, adopted by the College today, underlines that growth-enhancing reforms remain a key priority for the EU. Through the Structural Reform Support Programme, the Commission supports member states' reform initiatives while enabling them to share best practices and learn from each other's experience."

The Structural Reform Support Programme entered into force in May 2017 and has a budget of €222.8 million until 2020. The programme is available to all member states upon their request and provides tailor-made expertise on the practical aspects of reforms. The first monitoring report of the programme is available here.

The programme is managed by the Structural Reform Support Service which supports member states in the preparation, design and implementation of growth-enhancing reforms. Since 2015, the service has engaged, through the Structural Reform Support Programme or other sources, in almost 500 technical support projects in 25 member states.

An overview of the three years of the Structural Reform Support Service is available here.
