On 3 December 2007, the European Commission approved a European territorial cooperation programme covering the period 2007-2013. The programme is called 'Central Europe' and is aimed at transnational cooperation between eight Member States. The Member States involved are the Czech Republic, Germany (territories in the East and South), Italy (territories in the North-East), Hungary, Austria, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia. The Ukraine (western part) will also take part in the programme, providing its own resources as well as a contribution from the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Initiative. The total budget for the Programme is just over €298 million, with Community assistance under the ERDF amounting to some €246 million. This represents approximately 2.8% of the total EU investment earmarked for the European Territorial Cooperation Objective under the Cohesion Policy 2007-2013. |
