IPA INTEGRATION(the new management model) • Main principles: • Provide the same possibilities and responsibilities to the Partners from the Member States and partner States • Fully integrate the external partners into the transnational partnerships • Not hamper the implementation of the overall program and the already contracted projects (MC agreement) • Has required the modification of the SEE Operational Programme • 16.5M€ is the allocation foreseen to the integration of IPA countries for the future calls for proposals • Requires prefinancing by the involved IPA partners • LP principle applies towards IPA PPs as well.

  13. ENPI scheme (modified OP) • At the programme level, rules as ERDF and IPA (program level decision making, project selection, communication…) will be valid • At project level, rules of the external funding will be followed • 3rd&4th CfP allocation is ca. 2M€ - min budget/partner►100T€ Moreover: • ENPI partners will sign a separate contract with the MA/JTS • Relation between the ERDF LP and the ENPI PPs is established by the Partnership Agreement • Reporting obligations according to the ENPI grant contract towards the MA (JTS) and the LP
