The European Commission published  the Ex post evaluation of Cohesion Policy programmes 2007-2013 report, focusing on the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF). 

The support provided to the Czech Republic under Cohesion policy ERDF & Cohesion Fund amounted to over a third of government capital expenditure (34.3%, 2% of Czech GDP).The country accounted for 8.2% of the total funding from ERDF and CF (Poland accounted for 21% and Spain for 10%, for example).
