  1. European Territorial Co-Operation 2014 – 2020 Preparing a new EU Programme for Cross Border Co-Operation (INTERREG V) and a new EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation (PEACE IV) Local Government Workshop 12 February 2013

  2. Ex Ante Evaluations Strategic Environmental Assessments Equality Impact Assessments Socio-Economic Review Programme Evaluations • Mid 2014 • Commencement of new INTERREG V and PEACE IV Programmes

  3. Emerging Views on INTERREG V • No overall consistent view on four themes for INTERREG V • Up to six themes emerging but only four can be chosen: No 1: Research and Development • No 3: Competitiveness of SMEs • No 4: Low Carbon Economy • No 6: Environmental Protection and Resource Efficiency • No 2: Information and Communication Technologies • No 9: Social Inclusion and Combating Poverty • Employment and Labour Mobility and Transport also popular themes • Many responses lack detail on actual projects under these themes

  4. Choosing themes for INTERREG V • Ensure projects fit with the thematic objectives as outlined in the draft Regulations • Ensure themes fit with the priorities of Government Departments in NI / Ireland / Scotland • Demonstrated added value of cross border co-operation • Ensure complementarity with the ERDF and ESF programmes which are being developed by DETI and DEL • Ensure the anticipated absorption capacity of proposed themes as evidenced by a project pipeline • Consider the findings of the socio-economic review • Consider the views expressed in the EU Commission’s position papers to UK and Ireland.

  5. Emerging Views for PEACE IV • Activities in the PEACE IV programme likely to be within themes: • No 9: Combating Social Exclusion • No 10: Education and Lifelong learning • Strong consensus on a renewed focus on young people • Assistance for young people who are economically excluded • Youth activities • Education of young people • In line with the views expressed on PEACE IV by the European Commission papers to UK and Ireland

  6. Delivery Structures - Principles • Depends on choice of thematic objective, in line with responsibility and legal competence • Take account of the Review of Public Administration in NI and Putting People First in Ireland • Efficiency within the public sector • Build on the existing organisational capacities at local government level, rather than creating new structures • Robust, accountable and allow for simplification • Co-ordinated across funds if possible and for cross border programme must involve both Member States

  7. Delivery Structures - Principles • Appropriate to respond to the need for ‘results’ based programmes • Appropriate ‘absorption’ capacity for the allocated funding • Cover the entire life cycle of the project and programme delivery, from project development support, application and assessment process right through to audit and control
