Press Release: New expertise exchange initiative to better manage Regional Policy investments

On 24 March 2015 the Commission launched a new platform for public service officials to exchange expertise and best practice around Europe, to further improve how EU investments are spent and managed. By helping Member States strengthen administrative capacity, TAIEX REGIO PEER 2 PEER, or PEER 2 PEER, has been part of a broader initiative to fully use the potential of Regional Policy to create jobs and ensure sustainable growth, in line with the goals set by the Europe 2020 Strategy and the EU's new €315 billion Investment Plan.
