The Commission's Technical Support Instrument (TSI) has stepped up its support to Member States, to help them to deliver on their reform agendas and translate EU political priorities into concrete actions on the ground, with a strong increase in reforms involving several countries and regions. This is the main conclusion of the 2023 Annual Report on the implementation of the TSI that the Commission adopted on 8 October.

Multi-country projects covered 23% of the 151 new TSI projects that were launched in 2023, with multi-regional projects accounting for 21%. These projects helped member states and regions to address common challenges together, in areas such as public administration and governance, and the green and digital transitions.

For example, the Public Administration Cooperation Exchange (PACE) multi-country project organised 70 exchanges across 17 member states for more than 300 participants, in an effort to reinforce member states' administrative capacities and exchange best practices.

The Report also shows how the Commission is promoting competitiveness across the EU. The 2023 TSI-supported projects spanned all nine drivers identified in the Single Market at 30 Communication and the 2024 Annual Single Market and Competitiveness Report. These projects assisted member states in implementing the Communication on long-term competitiveness.

TSI is also assisting member states with implementing the European industrial strategy and the Green Deal industrial plan. Two multi-country projects supported Member States' industrial ecosystems and helped them to speed-up the permitting process for renewable energy projects.

The TSI is a demand-driven EU instrument that provides tailor-made expertise to Member States' authorities. Member states' authorities apply for support through annual calls. The Instrument provides access to high-quality, tailored expertise and knowledge.
