It sets out the list of cooperation programmes under the European territorial cooperation goal for the period 2014-2020, and the financial support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for each programme. KEY POINTS Cross-border cooperation programmes (Interreg A) Cross-border cooperation refers to cooperation between NUTS III regions from at least 2 different EU countries lying directly on the borders or adjacent to them. It aims to tackle common challenges and growth potential in border areas. There are 60 cross-border cooperation programmes, for a global ERDF contribution of €6,597,822,373. Transnational cooperation programmes (Interreg B) Transnational cooperation involves regions from several countries of the EU forming bigger areas to tackle common issues. Interreg B supports project investment in a wide range of areas including innovation, environment, accessibility, telecommunications and urban development, and can involve EU countries in partnership with non-EU countries within Europe and countries on other continents. There are 15 transnational cooperation programmes, for a global ERDF contribution of €2,119,431,627. Interregional cooperation programmes (Interreg C) Interregional cooperation works across the whole of Europe, including non-EU countries. It builds networks to develop good practice and encourages successful regions to share their experiences, showcasing what regions do well for the benefit of others. There are 4 interregional cooperation programmes, for a total ERDF contribution of €514,397,835. Cross-border programmes under the IPA II This second phase of the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II) aims to help countries wishing to join the EU to carry out comprehensive reforms to prepare for their membership. This is mainly achieved by aligning their rules and policies with EU standards and practices. The EU countries involved in programmes with pre-accession countries are Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Hungary and Romania. Programmes under the IPA II involve a total ERDF contribution of €242,207,412. Cross-border and sea-basin programmes under the ENI The European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) provides most of the funding to the 16 partner countries covered by the European neighbourhood policy (ENP). The countries covered by ENI are Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine. Programmes under the ENI involve a total ERDF budget of €634,425,381. FROM WHEN DOES THE DECISION APPLY? It has applied since 17 June 2014.

Summary: Sustainable urban development: innovative projects Sustainable urban development: innovative projects SUMMARY OF: Delegated Regulation (EU) No 522/2014 — selection and management of innovative actions in the area of sustainable urban development WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION? It details how innovative actions carried out by cities in EU countries, in the area of sustainable urban development, are selected for funding by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and how the process is managed. KEY POINTS Regulation (EU) No 1301/2013 outlines specific rules for the EU’s investment for growth and jobs goal, while Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 (Common rules on the ERDF, ESF, Cohesion Fund, EAFRD and EMFF (2014-2020) gives the European Commission responsibility to invest resources in innovative actions in the area of sustainable urban development. These initiatives follow principles in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and New Urban Agenda, and the EU Regional and Urban Policy. The Delegated Regulation (EU) No 522/2014 provides detail about how this is to be achieved. Projects will be selected through calls for proposals, with themes set each year by the Commission. Urban areas with more than 50,000 inhabitants are eligible. Where EU countries do not have large cities, urban authorities can come together and submit a joint bid. The ERDF contributes up to €5 million per project. The maximum duration for each project was originally 3 years, but this was later amended to 4 years to allow actions to be fully developed. One organisation at EU level is designated by the Commission to oversee the budget for the innovative actions scheme, and will also take responsibility for: guidance for applicants; assessing applicant eligibility; setting up an expert panel to assess proposals; selecting the innovative actions; payments to the beneficiaries; monitoring individual innovative actions; communication events; dissemination of results; auditing for sound financial management. Selection criteria The expert panel recommends which innovative actions are selected for funding, using the following criteria: projects should be highly innovative, with aspects new to Europe; projects should have clearly-defined objectives, evidence of proper preparatory work, and realistic timescale and funding ambitions; projects may benefit from sources of external expertise such as universities, NGOs and private companies; results should be measurable, transferable and potentially applicable to other urban areas.

Summary: Specific rules on eligibility of expenditure for European territorial cooperation (ETC) programmes Specific rules on eligibility of expenditure for European territorial cooperation (ETC) programmes SUMMARY OF: Delegated Regulation (EU) No 481/2014 — supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 with regard to specific rules on eligibility of expenditure for cooperation programmes WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION? It sets out specific rules on the eligibility of expenditure for cooperation programmes between EU countries with regard to particular categories of expenditure. KEY POINTS European territorial cooperation (ETC) This programme is more commonly known as Interreg. It is one of two goals of EU cohesion policy 2014-2020 and provides a means to implement joint actions and policy exchanges between national, regional and local actors from different EU countries. Its aim is to promote the harmonious economic, social and territorial cohesion of the EU as a whole. It is built around 3 strands of cooperation: cross-border (Interreg A) — addresses common challenges identified jointly in the border regions;transnational (Interreg B) — supports a wide range of project investment related to innovation, environment, accessibility, telecommunications, urban development, etc.;interregional (Interreg C) — provides a means for exchanging experience between regional and local bodies in different countries. To facilitate cooperation across these 3 strands, European groupings of territorial cooperation were established in 2007 under Regulation (EC) No 1082/2006. Funding is provided by the European Regional Development Fund, part of the European Structural and Investment Funds. Categories of expenditure The regulation sets out rules for the following categories of expenditure: staff costs; office and administrative expenditure; travel and accommodation costs; external expertise and service costs; equipment expenditure. Eligible expenditure Eligible expenditure must relate to the costs of initiating or initiating and implementing an operation or part of an operation. The following costs are not eligible: fines, financial penalties and expenditure on legal disputes and litigation;costs of gifts, except those not exceeding €50 per gift where related to promotion, communication, publicity or information;costs related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates.

22.5.2014 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 152/1 COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 548/2014 of 21 May 2014 on implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to small, medium and large power transformers THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof, After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum, Whereas: (1) The Commission has carried out a preparatory study that analysed the environmental and economic aspects of transformers. The study was developed together with stakeholders and interested parties from the Union and the results have been have made publicly available. Transformers are considered as energy related products within the meaning of Article 2(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC. (2) The study showed that energy in the use phase is the most significant environmental aspect that can be addressed through product design. Significant amounts of raw materials (copper, iron, resin, aluminium) are used in the manufacturing of transformers, but market mechanisms seem to be ensuring an adequate end-of-life treatment, and therefore it is not necessary to establish related ecodesign requirements. (3) Ecodesign requirements set out in Annex I apply to products placed on the market or put into service wherever they are installed. Therefore such requirements cannot be made dependant on the application in which the product is used. (4) Transformers are usually purchased under framework agreements. In this context, purchase refers to the act of contracting with the manufacturer for the delivery of a given volume of transformers. The contract is deemed to have come into force on the date of signature by the parties. (5) Certain categories of transformers should not be covered by this Regulation, due to their specific function,. The energy consumption and saving potential of such transformers is negligible compared to other transformers. (6) Regulatory concessions are granted because of the weight limitations for mounting transformers on utility poles. In order to avoid misuse of transformers specifically manufactured for pole-mounted operation, they should include a visible display ‘For pole-mounted operation only’, so as to facilitate the work of national market surveillance authorities. (7) Regulatory concessions are granted to transformers equipped with equipment capable of performing voltage regulation functions to integrate distributed generation from renewable sources into the distribution grid. Such concessions should gradually be phased out as this emerging technology matures and measurement standards become available to separate the losses associated to the core transformer from those associated to the equipment performing additional functions. (8) Ecodesign requirements for the energy performance/efficiency of medium power transformers and for the energy efficiency of large power transformers should be set with a view to harmonising ecodesign requirements for these devices throughout the Union. Such requirements would also contribute to the efficient functioning of the internal market and to improving Member States' environmental performance. (9) Establishment of ecodesign requirements for medium and large power transformers is also necessary to increase the market penetration of technologies and design options improving their energy performance or efficiency. Total losses of the transformers fleet in the EU27 in 2008 amounted to 93,4 TWh per year. The cost-effective improvement potential through more efficient design has been estimated in about 16,2 TWh per year in 2025, which corresponds to 3,7 Mt of CO2 emissions. (10) It is necessary to provide for a staged entry into force of the ecodesign requirements in order to provide an appropriate timeframe for manufacturers to redesign their products. Time limits for the implementation of those requirements should be set taking into account impacts on the costs for manufacturers, in particular small and medium size enterprises, while ensuring timely achievement of the policy objectives. (11) To allow an effective implementation of the regulation, National Regulating Authorities are strongly advised to take account of the effect of minimum efficiency requirements on the initial cost of the transformer and to allow for the installation of more efficient transformers than the regulation requires, whenever these are economically justified on a whole life cycle basis, including an adequate evaluation of losses reduction. (12) To facilitate compliance checks, manufacturers should be asked to provide information in the technical documentation referred to in Annexes IV and V to Directive 2009/125/EC. (13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 19(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Subject matter and scope 1. This Regulation establishes ecodesign requirements for placing on the market or putting into service power transformers with a minimum power rating of 1 kVA used in 50 Hz electricity transmission and distribution networks or for industrial applications.

Article 2 Definitions For the purpose of this Regulation and its annexes the following definitions shall apply. (1) ‘Power transformer’ means a static piece of apparatus with two or more windings which, by electromagnetic induction, transforms a system of alternating voltage and current into another system of alternating voltage and current usually of different values and at the same frequency for the purpose of transmitting electrical power. (2) ‘Small power transformer’ means a power transformer with a highest voltage for equipment not exceeding 1,1 kV. (3) ‘Medium power transformer’ means a power transformer with a highest voltage for equipment higher than 1,1 kV, but not exceeding 36 kV and a rated power equal to or higher than 5 kVA but lower than 40 MVA. (4) ‘Large power transformer’ means a power transformer with a highest voltage for equipment exceeding 36 kV and a rated power equal or higher than 5 kVA, or a rated power equal to or higher than 40 MVA regardless of the highest voltage for equipment. (5) ‘Liquid-immersed transformer’ means a power transformer in which the magnetic circuit and windings are immersed in liquid. (6) ‘Dry-type transformer’ means a power transformer in which the magnetic circuit and windings are not immersed in an insulating liquid. (7) ‘Medium power pole mounted transformer’ means a power transformer with a rated power of up to 315 kVA suitable for outdoor service and designed to be mounted on the support structures of overhead power lines. (8) ‘Voltage Regulation Distribution Transformer’ means a medium power transformer equipped with additional components, inside or outside of the transformer tank, to automatically control the input or output voltage of the transformer for on-load voltage regulation purposes. (9) ‘Winding’ refers to the assembly of turns forming an electrical circuit associated with one of the voltages assigned to the transformer. (10) ‘Rated voltage of a winding’ (Ur) is the voltage assigned to be applied, or developed at no-load, between the terminals of an untapped winding, or of a tapped winding connected on the principal tapping. (11) ‘High-voltage winding’ refers to the winding having the highest rated voltage. (12) ‘Highest voltage for equipment’ (Um) applicable to a transformer winding is the highest r.m.s phase-to-phase voltage in a three-phase system for which a transformer winding is designed in respect of its insulation.

(15) ‘No load loss’ (Po) means the active power absorbed at rated frequency when the transformer is energised and the secondary circuit is open. The applied voltage is the rated voltage, and if the energized winding is fitted with a tapping, it is connected to its principal tapping. (16) ‘Peak Efficiency Index’ (PEI) means the maximum value of the ratio of the transmitted apparent power of a transformer minus the electrical losses to the transmitted apparent power of the transformer. Article 3 Eco-design requirements Small power transformers, medium power transformers and large power transformer shall meet the ecodesign requirements set out in Annex I. Article 4 Conformity Assessment Conformity assessment shall be carried out applying the internal design control procedure set out in Annex IV to Directive 2009/125/EC or the management system procedure set out in Annex V to that Directive. Article 5 Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Directive 2009/125/EC, Article 3(2), Member State authorities shall apply the verification procedure set out in Annex III to this Regulation. Article 6 Indicative Benchmarks The indicative benchmarks for the best-performing transformers technologically possible at the time of adoption of this Regulation are identified in Annex IV. Article 7 Review No later than three years after the entry into force, the Commission shall review this Regulation in the light of technological progress and present the results of this review to the Consultation Forum. Specifically, the review will assess, at least, the following issues: — the possibility to set out minimum values of the Peak Efficiency Index for all medium power transformers, including those with a rated power below 3 150 kVA, — the possibility to separate the losses associated to the core transformer from those associated with other components performing voltage regulation functions, where this is the case, — the appropriateness of establishing minimum performance requirements for single-phase power transformers, as well as for small power transformers, — whether concessions made for pole-mounted transformers and for special combinations of winding voltages for medium power transformers are still appropriate, — the possibility of covering environmental impacts other than energy in the use phase. Article 8 Entry into force The Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 21 May 2014.

ANNEX II Measurement and calculation methods Measurement method For the purpose of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements shall be made using a reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement procedure, which takes into account the generally recognised state of the art measurement methods, including methods set out in documents the reference numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union. Calculation methods The methodology for calculating the Peak Efficiency Index (PEI) for medium and large power transformers is based on the ratio of the transmitted apparent power of a transformer minus the electrical losses to the transmitted apparent power of the transformer. Where: P0 is the no load losses measure at rated voltage and rated frequency, on the rated tap Pc0 is the electrical power required by the cooling system for no load operation Pk is the measured load loss at rated current and rated frequency on the rated tap corrected to the reference temperature Sr is the rated power of the transformer or autotransformer on which Pk is based ANNEX III Verification procedure When performing the market surveillance checks referred to in Article 3(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, the authorities of the Member States shall apply the following verification procedure for the requirements set out in Annex I. (1) Member States authorities shall test one single unit per model; (2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements set out in Annex I of this Regulation if the values in the technical documentation comply with the requirements set out in Annex I, and if the measured parameters meet the requirements set out in Annex I within the verification tolerances indicated in the Table of this Annex; (3) If the results referred to in point 2 are not achieved, the model shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. The Member States authorities shall provide all relevant information, including the test results if applicable, to the authorities of the other Member States and the Commission within one month of the decision being taken on the non-compliance of the model. Member States authorities shall use the measurement methods and calculation methods set out in Annex II. Given the weight and size limitations in the transportation of medium and large power transformers, Member States authorities may decide to undertake the verification procedure at the premises of manufacturers, before they are put into service in their final destination. The verification tolerances set out in this Annex relate only to the verification of the measured parameters by Member States authorities and shall not be used by the manufacturer or importer as an allowed tolerance to establish the values in the technical documentation. Table Measured parameter Verification tolerances Load losses The measured value shall not be greater than the declared value by more than 5 %. No load losses The measured value shall not be greater than the declared value by more than 5 %. The electrical power required by the cooling system for no load operation The measured value shall not be greater than the declared value by more than 5 %. ANNEX IV Indicative Benchmarks At the time of adoption of this Regulation, the best available technology on the market for medium power transformers was identified as follows: (a) Liquid-immersed medium power transformers: Ao – 20 %, Ak – 20 % (b) Dry-type medium power transformers: Ao – 20 %, Ak – 20 % (c) Medium power transformers with amorphous steel core: Ao – 50 %, Ak – 50 % The availability of material to manufacture transformers with amorphous steel core needs further development, before such values of losses can be considered to become minimum requirements in the future.

Summary: Ecodesign requirements — power transformers Ecodesign requirements — power transformers SUMMARY OF: Regulation (EU) No 548/2014 with regard to small, medium and large power transformers WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION? Regulation (EU) No 548/2014, implementing Directive 2009/125/EC, sets out ecodesign* requirements for placing on the market or putting into service power transformers with a minimum power rating of 1 kVA used in 50 Hz electricity transmission and distribution networks or for industrial applications. Experience in the implementation of Directive 2009/125/EC revealed that there were national deviations in standard voltages in electricity distribution grids in certain EU countries. These deviations justified changing the threshold voltage levels in the categorisation of transformers and the applicable minimum energy performance requirements. Regulation (EU) 2019/1783 therefore amends Regulation (EU) No 548/2014. KEY POINTS The regulation applies to transformers purchased after 11 June 2014. Medium* and large transformers*, regardless of when put on the market or into service, must be reassessed for compliance and conformity with the regulation if: the core or part of the core has been replaced; andone or more of the complete windings has been replaced. Transformers designed for a number of specific purposes are excluded from the regulation including those to be: directly connected to a furnace;installed on fixed or floating offshore platforms, offshore wind turbines or on board ships and all kinds of vessels;used in arc-welding equipment or resistance-welding equipment. The ecodesign requirements are set out in the annexes to the regulation. The regulation sets out the conformity assessment procedure. Changes introduced under Regulation (EU) 2019/1783 These changes include: if threshold voltages in electricity distribution networks deviate from the standard ones across the EU, EU countries must notify the European Commission accordingly, so that a public notification can be made for the correct interpretation of the various tables in Annex I to the regulation (ecodesign requirements); the manufacturer, importer or authorised representative must not put on the market any products that can detect when they are being tested and change their performance accordingly; to make verification testing easier, market surveillance authorities are permitted to test, or witness the testing of, larger transformers at premises such as those of the manufacturer; the Commission will review the regulation and present the results no later than 1 July 2023. FROM WHEN DOES THE REGULATION APPLY? Regulation (EU) No 548/2014 has applied since 11 June 2014. The changes introduced by amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1783 have applied since 14 November 2019. BACKGROUND Directive 2009/125/EC establishes a framework to set ecodesign requirements for energy-related products. The Commission must set these for products which are widely sold and traded in the EU and have a significant environmental impact. For more information see: Power transformers: Ecodesign requirements (European Commission) The new ecodesign measures explained (European Commission) About the energy label and ecodesign — Energy savings (European Commission). KEY TERMS Ecodesign: Policy to improve, through better design, products’ environmental performance throughout their life cycle, especially their energy efficiency. Medium power transformers: a power transformer with all windings having rated power lower than or equal to 3 150 kVA, and highest voltage for equipment greater than 1.1 kV and lower than or equal to 36 kV. Large power transformers: a power transformer with at least one winding having either rated power greater than 3 150 kVA or highest voltage for equipment greater than 36 kV.
