The European Commission has adopted two Implementing Acts regarding Interreg programmes.
- 03 February 2022
On 17 January 2022 the European Commission, formally adopted two important Implementing Acts that pave the way for the beginning of the new programming period. Divided by strand, the two Acts define the scope of Interreg programmes for the 2021—2027 period.
Decision 2022/74 provides the list of all Interreg programmes under the European territorial cooperation goal for the period 2021 to 2027. It also sets out the contributions of the European Regional Development Fund and, where applicable, the Instrument of Pre-accession Assistance as well as the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument to the programmes.
Thereby, the decision fixes the total amounts the Interreg programmes will have available over the next programming period. To define the geographical composition of the Interreg programmes, decision 2022/75 sets out the participating areas of the Interreg programmes by NUTS 3 level regions.
With the adoption of those Decisions, a big step has been taken to continue and reinforce territorial cooperation within the EU and with its neighbouring countries.
