The Significance of European Administrative Soft Law for the Implementation of European Structural and Investment Funds in the Member States journal article Jacobine van den Brink European Structural and Investment Funds Journal, Volume 4 (2016), Issue 1, Page 2 - 11 In the implementation of European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds) the European Commission is increasingly using European administrative soft law.
