On 28 March 2008 the European Commission approved a Cross-border Co-operation Operational Programme between Greece and Cyprus for the period 2007-2013. The Programme involves Community support for the regions of Samos, Lesbos, Chios, Dodecanese, Heraklion, Lasithi, Rethymno and Chania in Greece, as well as the whole territory of Cyprus.

The total budget of the Programme is about €52 million, with Community assistance through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) amounting to some €42 million. This represents approximately 0.5% of the total EU investment earmarked for the European Territorial Co-operation Objective under the Cohesion Policy 2007-2013.
