  1. EU FUNDING INSTRUMENTS – GENERAL REVIEW

  2. EU's funding structure 2007-2013 and the associated instruments and programmes • Pre-Accession Assistance: EU provides funding for candidate countries and potential candidate countries in order to support their efforts to enhance political, economic and institutional reforms. This comprises a broad range of financial support for various types of projects in the fields of agriculture, environment, transport, IT, human rights, civil society, media, etc. • External Assistance: EU's external assistance target other countries than the Member States and aims to support various types of reforms, political and economic stability, as well as countries or regions in crisis.

  3. EU's funding structure 2007-2013 and the associated instruments and programmes: • Regional Assistance: The regional assistance accounts for a larger portion of the expenditures and finances regional development within the Member States in order to obtain economic and social prosperity and to reduce the gaps in development between regions. • Natural Resources: The Natural Resources section comprises several funding opportunities in the fields of agriculture, rural development, environment and fisheries.

  4. EU's funding structure 2007-2013 and the associated instruments and programmes: • Community Programmes: EU provides financial assistance through various community programmes in a broad range of fields such as research, competitiveness and innovation, media, education, health, youth, culture, etc. Different organisations, bodies and companies from all Member States can participate, as well as participants from Non-Member States according to their agreements with the EU.

  5. Management of EU-finds – centralized and decentralized model.

  6. Community Programmes General overview • The Community Programmes are a series of integrated measures accepted by the European Commission aiming to strengthen the co-operation among the Member States regarding Community policies for a period of time. The Community Programmes are financed from the general budget of the Community. All Acceding and Candidate countries have the opportunity to participate in the programmes, although, as a main condition of participation, an annual fee has to be paid to the budget.

  7. Community Programmes • Community Programmes can be tied to almost every Community policy. The Community decides on the type of programmes, their budgets and their durations. Any legal entity (sometimes individuals, too) can submit a proposal. The submission, evaluation and settlement of the accounts along with the full administration belong to the Administration of the Directorate Generals (DGs) of the European Commission.

  8. Community Programmes • The proposals can be submitted in a consortium with the participation of minimum 2 or more organisations from the EU Member States (specified in the Calls for Proposals). The applicants are directly in contact with EC officers, from the submission till the closure of the project. However, each participating country opens a national programme office or agency (either within a competent Ministry or within a separate organisation) whose task is the collection of information and mediation in order to assist the national applicants. In some cases the national programme coordinators have higher responsibility and competence.

  9. Transport issues funded under the Community programmes • WHITE PAPER “European transport policy” • The Marco Polo II programme • Trans-European transport and energy networks • CIP-IEEE • The Galileo programme • 7 FP

  10. The 2006 White Paper mid-term review: priorities Mobility: The EU must offer the necessary level of mobility to people and business Protection: protect the environment, ensure energy security, promote minimum labour standards, protect the passenger and the citizen. Innovation: increase the efficiency & sustainability of the growing transport sector, the market new innovative solutions International dimension: the EU must be a united, leading player in the international transport

  11. Regional Assistance • More than a third of the budget of the Union is devoted to regional development and economic and social cohesion through a series of European funds. • The objective of EU funding under regional policy is to promote solidarity and to reduce the gaps in development among the regions and disparities among the citizens in terms of well-being. • Regional assistance aims to help lagging regions to catch up, restructure declining industrial regions, diversify the economies of rural areas with declining agriculture and revitalize declining neighborhoods in the cities. It sets job creation as its primary concern and it seeks to strengthen the economic, social and territorial ‘cohesion' of the Union.

  12. Regional Assistance The three new objectives for the period 2007-2013 are: • Convergence: Support emplyment and job creation in the Member States and least developed regions • Regional competitiveness and employment: Anticipate and encourage the changes in a globalised world • European territorial cooperation: Ensure a harmonius and balanced development throughout the entire Union
