  2. 1.1 Introduction The European Commission will actively participatein the development of the Carinthia region by co-financing the Objective 2 programme for the area during 2000-2006. The region is located in southern Austria along the Slovenian and Italian borders. During the previous period the region was covered under the Objectives 2 and 5(b). The total cost of the programme is EUR 457 million, of which EUR 85 million will be provided by the EU Structural Funds. DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL

  3. 1.2 Map of the eligible area DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL

  4. 1.3 Description of the eligible area Region is located in southern Austria along the Slovenian and Italian borders;Over 50% of the region locates at 1000m or higher above sea-level. A little less than half of the total population of the region is eligible under Objective 2;Carinthia has a GDP per capita at 89% of the EU average (Austria 112%). This is due in part to the lag of growth in the last few years and to the high seasonal unemployment in the region;Unemployment stands at 5.6%. The service sector accounts for the lion's share of GDP (66%) followed by manufacturing (32%) and agriculture and forestry (2%). Agriculture employs 8.1% of the labour force; There is a lack of technical oriented universities in the region. This has been somewhat offset by the creation of courses in technical colleges. However, these are located outside the Objective 2 area. DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL
