1 Practical Seminar European Territorial Cooperation: How to Build a Successful European Partnership for Better Use of EU Funds? Closure of programmes and preparation for the next programming period Barcelona (ES), November 2013 European Institute of Public Administration Institut européen d administration publique
2 Introduction Target group National, regional or local public administration, NGOs, associations and other actors interested or involved in the design, development and implementation of territorial cooperation programmes and projects Description The three days practical seminar will give a complete overview of all existing and accessible financial instruments for countries, regions, provinces and municipalities in the framework of territorial cooperation in the programming period , but as well foreseen evolution of the Territorial Cohesion from 2014 onwards. Regions and cities are very important players in programming and implementation of the EU Cohesion policy in terms of promotion of regional and local growth, job s creation and maintenance related measures, but as well in the process of creation and implementation of JOINT EU co-financed projects in different areas of regional development. The EC encourages regions and cities from different EU Member States to work together and learn from each other through joint programmes, projects and networks. This seminar will be focused on the following areas: Objective 3 of the Cohesion Policy in the programming period European Territorial Co-operation (former IC INTERREG), covering three types of programmes cofinanced by ERDF: 52 cross-border co-operation programmes along internal EU borders; 13 transnational co-operation programmes covering larger areas of co-operation such as the Baltic Sea, Alpine and Mediterranean regions; interregional co-operation programme (INTERREG IVC) and 3 networking programmes (Urbact II, Interact II and ESPON) covering regions of all 27 Member States of the EU. Territorial Cooperation will be in the next programming period one of the two goals of the Cohesion Policy, with the separate regulation, bigger budget and higher importance. European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation (EGTC), new legal instrument introduced by Regulation 1082/2006, designed to facilitate and promote cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation. It reflects the ongoing development of governance and organizational solutions in the area of territorial cooperation. EGTC are established mainly to manage or implement programmes and projects financed by structural funds, develop other forms of territorial cooperation without EU funding or to carry out actions relating to Community policies other than structural policy in the area of territorial cooperation. The European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) replaced as of January 2007 the existing geographical and thematic programmes currently operating in the partner countries. Since 2007, the ENPI provides grants for local development projects that target sustainable development and approximate EU policies and standards in countries that are direct neighbours of the enlarged EU, involving both EU Member States and partner countries. The ENPI follows agreed key areas in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) Action Plans (specific action plans for development), which are the cornerstones of the ENP. Funds are allocated to individual country programmes depending on their needs and their implementation of agreed reforms. Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) instrument of the EU pre-accession Policy providing the assistance to candidate and potential candidate countries of the European Union. The aim of the IPA is to prepare these countries for full EU membership, including preparation for the efficient programming and implementation of EU Policies and the absorption of EU Funds. However, the most important component in the context of the seminar is the Cross Border cooperation component of IPA. Learning methodology Traditional training methods (lectures and presentations, including concrete examples) will be combined with an interactive approach through discussions, exchange of experiences between participants, participants experts and round table. One of the most important elements of the seminar is the presentation of best practices of JOINT EU co-financed projects that were implemented in the previous programming period as well as those currently being implemented in the present financial perspective by different member states (Spain, Poland, Nederland, France and other countries) and practical workshop how to be efficient in joint projects, managed by experts in the field. Objectives By the end of the seminar, participants will have gained a thorough knowledge of all accessible financial and legal instruments for territorial cooperation, rules which apply to joint programmes and projects, how to use the best practices and how to avoid mistakes. The goal of the seminar is as well to build a real territorial cooperation network between participants and institutions for future joint projects and the exchange of practical experiences.
