This study reveals the quality and quantity with which Germany makes use of Article 8 of the EFRE Regulation as an offer of financial assistance. It also illustrates the general consideration of urban concerns in Germany's National Strategic Reference Framework and the German Structural Funds programmes as well as the range of the urban dimension at the project level. The findings of this analysis are used to draw up recommendations on ways of establishing 'Acquis URBAN' in the coming funding period which can be considered in the already intensive negotiations concerning the design of the post-2013 Structural Funds.
