First messages from the public survey (1)
Three questions with sub-sections for which the number of
responses ranges from 53 to 60
1. Thematic Objectives which are of interest for financial
instruments:
The strongest interest for "3. Enhancing competitiveness of SMEs" with 58%
followed by "1. Strengthening research, technological development and
innovation" with 45% and "Supporting the shift to low-carbon economy in all
sectors" with 45%.
The three areas with lowest interest are: "9. Promoting social inclusion and
combating poverty" with 12%, "10. Investing in education, skills and lifelong
learning" with 12% and "11. Enhancing institutional capacity and an efficient
public administration" with 7%.
2. From whom the respondents received certain TA services in
2007-2013:
Design phase: the Commission/EIB Group Joint Initiatives played the most
important role in delivering guidance on market assessments (29%) and
together with Holding Funds on governance structures (21%).
Set-up and Implementation phases: Holding Funds at the pole position for all
but "monitoring and auditing of FIs" where the Managing Authority is first
(33%). In those phases, the role of the Commission/EIB Group Joint
Initiatives is the highest for "assisting/managing the procurement process to
select FI manager (19%) and the lowest in "apprising business
plans/investment strategies" (9%) and "Negotiating agreements with project
promoters" (7%).
Exit/winding up phase: advice on "exit strategies" and "legacy 5
requirements" was received by most respondents from the MA (26%, 28%
respectively) and "on how handle defaults and delayed payments" from the
Holding Fund (26%).
First messages from the public survey (2)
3. How respondents think TA can be best provided by the TAP:
For all tasks in all phases there is a clear preference for the Horizontal
Assistance (HA).
The shares of respondents preferring this option are more or less double as
high as those for Multi-regional Assistance (MRA).
The smallest differences for the four phases can be found for "Guidance on
specific issues related to the Thematic objectives" (41% HA vs. 36% MRA),
"Guidance for the selection of Fund Managers" (50% HA vs. 33% MRA),
"Guidance on business plan and application support for project types" (51%
HA vs. 28% MRA) and "Advice on exit strategies" (68% TA vs. 25% MRA).
Next steps:
Full analysis of the survey results should be available soon
Discussion with the Member States experts today
Discussion with stakeholders on 20 June
Development of a catalogue of specific activities based on the results of the
public survey by October (EIB study)

Assistance before end-2013: Horizontal Assistance to be operational as of 1
