This procedure involves a Commission communication reviewing the 'additionality' principle for the 2007-2013 funding period. It examines whether EU funds provided additional value and support rather than simply replacing existing national public spending. This review affects member states and regional authorities that received EU structural funds, ensuring that EU investments effectively complemented national budgets to drive growth.
