On 28 March 2008 the European Commission approved a Cross-border Co-operation Programme between Greece and Bulgaria for the period 2007-13. The Programme involves Community support for the following regions in Greece: Evros, Xanthi, Rodopi, Drama, Thessaloniki and Serres; and the following regions in Bulgaria: Blagoevgrad, Smolyan, Kardzhali and Haskovo. The Greek region of Kavala may take part in projects as an adjacent area, i.e. receiving a maximum 20% of the funding allocated to the Programme. The total budget of the Programme is about €130 million, with Community assistance through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) amounting to some €111 million. This represents approximately 1.3% of the total EU investment earmarked for the European Territorial Co-operation Objective under the Cohesion Policy 2007-13. |
