Abstract: This study proposes a comparative analysis at regional level, of concentration level of expenditure co-financed by the Structural Funds in the programming period 2007/13. For main types of expenditure, we evaluate by the concentration index of Herfindahl-Hirschman the level of concentration of projects. It is verified also the relationship between it and some background variables. The analysis shows that the average funding of the projects financed is greater in the South than in the Centre-North. In the case of concentration level of the contributions to the firms, the analysis shows that interventions are correlated directly with the number of firms in the area, this is an interesting result only apparently counterintuitive.
