On 12 December 2007, the European Commission approved the Operational Programme for Cross-border Cooperation for the 'Grande Région', cofinanced by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the European Territorial Cooperation Objective in Belgium, Germany, France and Luxembourg. The total cost of the programme is around 212 million euros. The maximum contribution from the European Regional Development Fund to the Operational Programme is 106 million euros, which represents around 1.2% of total EU investment under the European Territorial Cooperation Objective. The programme relates to Wallonia, the German-speaking Community in Belgium, Lorraine in France, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland in Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It also has 18 adjacent zones eligible to benefit from up to 20% of the ERDF contribution. |
