On 2 October 2007, the European Commission approved URBACT II 2007-2013, a European Territorial Cooperation Programme that covers the whole of the European Union, plus Norway and Switzerland. The programme aims to promote cooperation in the fields of urban development and to foster the exchange of experience among European cities. It has a total budget of around €68 million. Community assistance through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) amounts to some €53 million, which represents approximately 12% of the total EU investments earmarked for the interregional cooperation and networking programmes under the European Territorial Cooperation Objective of Cohesion Policy for 2007-2013. |
