Memo: Cross-border Cooperation Operational Programme Lithuania-Poland 2007-13

On 20 December 2007, the European Commission approved a Cross-border Cooperation Operational Programme between Lithuania and Poland for the period 2007-13. The Programme involves providing Community support as part of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for specific Lithuanian and Polish regions that lie along their common border: the Lithanian regions of Marijampolės and Alytaus and Polish regions Białostocko-suwalski and Ełcki. The regions of Tauragės, Kauno and Vilniaus (excluding Vilniaus Municipality) in Lithuania, and Łomżyński and Olsztyński in Poland, can take part in projects as adjacent areas, i.e. receiving a maximum 20% of the ERDF funding allocated to the Programme.
