EFSD Country Access Limits

Limits determine the maximum level of the EFSD financing available to a member state.

• are set by the EFSD Council in proportion to GNI per capita;
• Include all forms of loans to country;
• are subject to annual (more often if needed) revision by the EFSD Council based on the proposals of the EFSD Manager;
• Russia indicated that it will use its limit only to finance large-scale integration projects;

If needed, particularly in implementation of large-scale projects, member states decide to allocate part of its limit to another member state of the EFSD.
