On 30 November 2007, the European Commission approved an Operational Programme for the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France for the period 2007-2013. This Operational Programme comes under the Regional Competitiveness and Employment objective and has a total budget of around 2.3 billion euros. The funding provided by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) amounts to some 701 million euros, representing around 4.9% of Community aid to France as part of the cohesion policy for 2007-2013. The total level of cofinancing for the Lisbon Strategy's economic competitiveness and employment objectives amounts to 66% of the ERDF allocation. |
