Context
All MS are concerned, ESIF touch upon a wide spectre of policies
ESIF can have a big impact on stimulating growth. In many countries a significant share of public investments (up to 90%)
Funds to be spent in line with: -> Sustainable growth, employment, competitiveness-> European Semester-> Thematic concentration
COM priorities set out in the Position Papers

• Who checks the fulfilment of the RIS3 ex-ante conditionality?
1. Member State (central governments), 2. Commission
• What are the key elements for accepting the strategy as "Smart"?
The text in the CPR regulation annex 2 and within this:- Entrepreneurial discovery process was conducted to establish SWOT or
similar analysis and specialisation fields. Analysis has trans-national perspective.
- "Limited set of priorities" defines specialisation fields that are fit to trigger knowledge-driven economic transformation in a territory and are differentiating it from others / diversify existing assets (instead of generic sectors or technologies).
- Focus resources on priorities, not "coffee for all"

Mixed picture:
SWOT or similar analysis: inward looking, no demand side, purely tech focused
Limited number of priorities:coffee for all; too generic
Measures to stimulate private R&I investments:retro-fitting; not tailored to enterprises
Monitoring system (and indicators): mostly absent or not realistic or no causality …
Budgeting plans: mostly inexistent,if yes, unclear funding gaps for ESIF
