Details
The European Parliament adopted a legislative resolution approving the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on specific provisions for the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) supported by the European Regional Development Fund and external financing instruments.
The proposed regulation is part of the legislative package on cohesion policy for the period 2021-2027. It lays down specific provisions relating to the ‘European territorial cooperation’ objective (Interreg) supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the external financing instruments where one or more Member States and their regions, as well as one or more Member States and third countries and their regions, cooperate across borders.
Support objectives
As regards support from the Union's external financing instruments (Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA III) and the Instrument for Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation (NDICI) to Interreg programmes, the Regulation sets out additional specific objectives and rules for the integration of these funds into Interreg programmes. It also provides for the possibility for OCTs to participate in Interreg programmes.
As regards support from Interreg funds (the ERDF and the Union's external financing instruments) for Interreg programmes, the regulation defines the specific objectives of Interreg, the eligibility criteria for Member States, third countries, partner countries, OCTs and their regions, the financial resources and the criteria for their distribution
Interreg strands
Four Interreg strands will be supported: (1) cross-border cooperation, (2) transnational cooperation, (3) interregional cooperation and (4) cooperation involving the outermost regions. For cross-border cooperation, regions should in principle be located along land or sea borders separated by up to 150 km of sea.
The geographical coverage is defined in detail for each strand. The Regulation empowers the Commission to adopt implementing acts establishing the list of areas covered by the Interreg programme to be supported.
Interreg specific objectives and thematic concentration
In addition to the specific objectives of the ERDF, under Interreg programmes, the ERDF and, where appropriate, the Union's external financing instruments may also support the specific Interreg objectives ‘better cooperation governance’ and ‘a safer and more secure Europe’.
At least 60 % of resources allocated for cross-border, transnational and outermost regions’ cooperation should go to a maximum of three policy objectives, one of which has to be ‘a greener, low-carbon Europe’.
Resources and co-financing rates
The ERDF resources allocated to Interreg amount to EUR 8 050 000 000 at 2018 prices out of the total resources available for budgetary commitments from the ERDF, ESF+ and the Cohesion Fund for the programming period 2021-2027.
The resources are allocated as follows:
- 72.2% (i.e. a total of EUR 5 812 790 000) for land and maritime cross-border cooperation;
- 18.2% (i.e. a total of EUR 1 466 000 000) for transnational cooperation;
- 6.1% (i.e. a total of EUR 490 000 000) for interregional cooperation;
- 3.5% (i.e. a total of EUR 281 210 000) for cooperation involving the outermost regions.
The co-financing rate for each Interreg programme is up to 80 %, but it can reach up to 85% for outermost regions' cooperation.
Small project funds
The Council position ensures that small projects can be successfully implemented by simplifying the arrangements for their implementation and by incorporating clear rules on their governance. It also includes a flexible support package for technical assistance, tailored to the needs of each type of programme.
To ensure a consistent monitoring of performance, the agreement adapts the CPR rules to Interreg programmes and refines the common set of output indicators, while adding a common set of results indicators.
Specific rules for indirect management
The proposed Regulation provides for the possibility that Interreg programmes under cooperation with the outermost regions may be implemented under indirect management. Specific rules are set out on how to implement these programmes in whole or in part under indirect management.

Details
The European Parliament adopted a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on specific provisions for the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) supported by the European Regional Development Fund and external financing instruments.
The position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure has amended the Commission proposal as follows:
Purpose
The regulation would establish rules for the European Territorial Cooperation Objective (Interreg) to encourage cooperation between Member States and their regions within the Union and between Member States and third countries, partner countries, other territories or adjacent overseas countries and territories (OCTs) or regional integration and cooperation organisations, or groups of third countries forming part of a regional organisation.
Under the Interreg objective, support would be provided by the ERDF and, where appropriate, by the Union's external financing instruments for the following four strands: 1) cross-border cooperation between adjacent regions, 2) transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation, 3) cooperation involving the outermost regions and 4) interregional cooperation.
Members deleted the Commission's proposal to introduce a new strand 5 ("interregional investment in innovation").
The transnational and maritime cooperation component should aim to strengthen cooperation through actions promoting integrated territorial development linked to the priorities of the Union's cohesion policy, in full respect of the principle of subsidiarity.
The various strands of Interreg should contribute to the achievement of the sustainable development objectives (SDOs) described in the Sustainable Development Programme for 2030 adopted in September 2015.
Resources and co-financing rates
Parliament proposed that the resources allocated to the Interreg objective should amount to EUR 11 165 910 000 at 2018 prices from the total resources available for ERDF, ESF+ and Cohesion Fund budget commitments for the 2021-2027 programming period.
An amount of EUR 10,195,910,000 (91.31%) of these resources would be allocated as follows:
- EUR 7 500 000 000 000 (67.16%) for cross-border cooperation (strand 1);
- EUR 1,973,600,880 (17.68%) for transnational cooperation (strand 2);
- EUR 357 309 120 (3.2%) for cooperation involving the outermost regions (strand 3);
- EUR 365 000 000 000 (3.27%) for interregional cooperation (strand 4).
An amount of EUR 970,000,000,000 (8.69%) of the resources would be allocated to a new initiative on interregional investment in innovation that should be used to support thematic platforms for intelligent specialisation in areas such as energy, industrial modernisation, circular economy, social innovation, environment or agri-food and to help bring together actors in intelligent specialisation strategies.
Members proposed increasing the co-financing rate from 70% to 80%.
Thematic focus
Under the amended text:
- up to 15% of ERDF allocations and, where appropriate, EU external financing instruments for priorities other than those relating to technical assistance for each Interreg programme under components 1, 2 and 3 would be allocated to the specific Interreg objective 'better Interreg governance' and up to 10% could be allocated to the specific Interreg external objective 'a safer and more secure Europe';
- where an Interreg programme under strand 1 or 2 supports a macro-regional strategy or a strategy for a sea basin, at least 80% of the ERDF allocations should contribute to the achievement of the objectives of this strategy.
Small Project Fund
Parliament clarified the rules governing funds for small-scale projects, which are an important and effective instrument for removing border and cross-border obstacles. It proposed that the total contribution from the ERDF or, where applicable, from an external EU funding instrument to one or more funds for small projects under an Interreg programme should not exceed 20% of the total allocation for the Interreg programme and should amount, under an Interreg cross-border cooperation programme, to at least 3% of the total allocation.
Payments and pre-financing
Members believe that the rules on pre-financing should take due account of the specificities of European territorial cooperation, which is why they have provided for greater pre-financing, particularly at the beginning of the financing period.
State aid
Parliament stressed that, in the light of experience, support for European territorial cooperation projects should have only limited repercussions on competition and trade between Member States. Therefore, the Commission should be able to declare that this aid is compatible with the internal market and that funding provided to support European territorial cooperation projects can be block exempted.
Indicators
The proposal introduces specific Interreg indicators to measure the results and European added value of cooperation programmes. However, Parliament considered that it might be necessary, if necessary, to adapt the indicators, or to leave more room for manoeuvre in the programmes to define the system of indicators during the discussions.
Simplification
The provisions on the preparation, approval and amendment of Interreg programmes as well as on territorial development, selection of operations, monitoring and evaluation, programme authorities, audit of operations and transparency and communication should be adapted to the specificities of Interreg programmes and remain simple and clear to avoid over-regulation and additional administrative burden for Member States and beneficiaries.

Details
The European Parliament adopted by 570 votes to 80, with 25 abstentions, amendments to the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on specific provisions for the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) supported by the European Regional Development Fund and external financing instruments.
The matter was referred back to the competent committee for interinstitutional negotiations.
The main amendments adopted in plenary concern the following issues:
Subject matter
This Regulation lays down rules for the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) with a view to fostering cooperation between Member States and their regions inside the Union and between Member States, their regions and third countries, partner countries, other territories or overseas countries and territories ('OCTs'), or regional integration and cooperation organisations, or group of third countries forming part of a regional organisation, respectively.
Under the European Territorial Cooperation Objective (Interreg), support would be provided by the ERDF and, where appropriate, by the Union's external financing instruments for the following four components: (1) cross-border cooperation between adjacent regions; (2) transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation; (3) cooperation involving the outermost regions and (4) interregional cooperation.
Members deleted the proposal to introduce a new strand 5 (‘interregional innovation investments’).
The transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation component should aim to strengthen cooperation by means of actions conducive to integrated territorial development linked to the Union's cohesion policy priorities, in full respect of subsidiarity.
Resources and co-financing rates
Members proposed that the resources allocated to the European Territorial Cooperation Objective (Interreg) amount to EUR 11 165 910 000 at 2018 prices from the total resources available for ERDF, ESF+ and Cohesion Fund budget commitments for the 2021-2027 programming period.
An amount of EUR 10 195 910 000 (91.31 %) of these resources should be allocated as follows:
- EUR 7 500 000 000 000 (67.16 %) for cross-border cooperation (strand 1);
- EUR 1 973 600 880 (17.68 %) for transnational cooperation (strand 2);
- EUR 357 309 120 (3.2 %) for cooperation involving the outermost regions (strand 3);
- EUR 365 000 000 000 (3.27 %) for interregional cooperation (strand 4).
An amount of EUR 970 000 000 000 (8.69 %) of the resources would be allocated to a new initiative on interregional innovation investments which should be used to support thematic platforms for smart specialisation in areas such as energy, industrial modernisation, circular economy, social innovation, environment or agri-food and to help bring together actors in smart specialisation strategies.
Members proposed to increase the co-financing rate from 70% to 80%.
Thematic concentration
Under the amended text:
- up to 15% of ERDF allocations of the external financing instruments of the Union allocations under priorities other than for technical assistance to each Interreg programme under components 1, 2 and 3, up to 15% shall be allocated on the Interreg-specific objective of 'a better Interreg governance' and up to 10 % may be allocated on the Interregspecific objective of 'a safer and more secure Europe';
- where a component 1 or 2 Interreg programme supports a macro-regional strategy or a sea-basin strategy, at least 80% the ERDF and, where applicable, part of the external financing instruments of the Union allocations under priorities other than for technical assistance shall contribute to the objectives of that strategy.
Small Project Fund
Members clarified the rules governing funds for small-scale projects, which are an important and successful instrument for eliminating border and cross-border obstacles. They proposed that the total contribution from the ERDF or, where applicable, from an external EU funding instrument to one or more funds for small projects under an Interreg programme should not exceed 20% of the total allocation for the Interreg programme and should amount, under an Interreg cross-border cooperation programme, to at least 3% of the total envelope.
Payments and pre-financing
Members considered that the rules on pre-financing should take due account of the specificities of European territorial cooperation, which is why they have provided for greater pre-financing, particularly at the beginning of the financing period.
State aid
Members stressed that in the light of experience gained, aid for European Territorial Cooperation projects should only have limited effects on competition and trade between Member States, and thus the Commission should be able to declare that such aid is compatible with the internal market and that financing provided in support of ETC projects is able to be block-exempted.
Indicators
The proposal introduces specific Interreg indicators to measure the results and European added value of cooperation programmes. However, Members considered that it might be necessary to adapt the indicators, or to leave more room for manoeuvre in the programmes to define the system of indicators during the discussions.
Simplification
Provisions on the preparation, approval and amendment of Interreg programmes as well as on territorial development, on the selection of operations, on monitoring and evaluation, on the programme authorities, on audit of operations, and on transparency and communication should be adapted to the specificities of Interreg programmes and should be kept simple and clear in order to avoid gold-plating and additional administrative burdens for Member States and beneficiaries.

PURPOSE: to lay down the specific provisions for the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) supported by the European Regional Development Fund and external financing instruments for the period 2021-2017.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: in order to simplify the legislative structure and ensure clarity of the applicable provisions in the field of cohesion, the common provisions regulation ( CPR ) lays down common rules and specific rules for the Funds. So goes for the Regulation covering both the ERDF and the Cohesion Fund intervening under ‘Investment for jobs and growth’ and, for the ERDF, under the ‘European territorial cooperation’ goal (Interreg).
As part of a major simplification effort, the Commission now proposes to adopt specific provisions in relation to the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) where one or more Member States cooperate across borders with regard to effective programming.
The Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) actively promotes territorial cooperation. The added value is obvious: actions for reconciliation and confidence-building in the Western Balkans, actions to overcome geographical and psychological obstacles and to establish good neighbourly relations.
The 13 ENPI ( European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument ) CBC programmes implemented during the 2007-2013 period covered nine EU land borders, three sea basins and one sea crossing. The programmes involved 34 countries, 19 EU Member States and 12 of the 16 neighbourhood partner countries plus Norway, Russia and Turkey
CONTENT: the proposed Regulation lays down rules for the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) with a view to fostering cooperation between Member States inside the Union and between Member States and adjacent third countries, partner countries, other territories or overseas countries and territories (OCTs) respectively.
· With regard to support from the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance ( IPA III ), the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) and the funding for all the OCTs for the period 2021 to 2027, the proposal defines additional specific objectives as well as the integration of those funds into Interreg programmes , the criteria for third countries, partner countries and OCTs and their regions to be eligible and certain specific implementation rules.
· With regard to support from the ERDF and the external financing instruments of the Union (the Interreg funds) to Interreg programmes, this proposed Regulation defines the Interreg-specific objectives as well as the organisation, the criteria for Member States, third countries, partner countries and OCTs and their regions to be eligible, the financial resources, and the criteria for their allocation.
European territorial cooperation (Interreg) objective strands : support shall be provided by the ERDF and, where appropriate, by the Union's external financing instruments for the following five components : (i) cross-border; (ii) transnational and maritime; (iii) outermost regions; (iv) interregional cooperation and; (v) the new interregional innovation investments.
Geographical coverage : the cross-border cooperation component shall focus on NUTS level 3 regions of the Union along all internal and external land borders with third countries or partner countries, while cross-border cooperation along maritime borders shall be integrated into the broader ‘transnational and maritime cooperation’ component.
The Commission stresses that access to public services such as hospitals and universities is generally more difficult in border regions. Moreover, navigating between different administrative and legal systems is still often complex and costly. The proposal therefore aims to help cross-border cooperation programmes to focus on institutional cooperation, solving border problems and investment in common services of public interest .
Transnational cooperation shall cover larger territories on the mainland of the Union, whereas maritime cooperation shall cover territories around sea-basins and integrate cross-border cooperation on maritime borders during the programming period 2014-2020.
A specific outermost regions’ component shall be established in order to enable outermost regions to cooperate with their neighbouring countries and territories in the most effective and simple way.
The list of Interreg programmes to receive financial support shall be set out in an implementing act adopted by the European Commission.
Specific objectives : taking into account the special features of Interreg, two Interreg-specific objectives are set out: (i) 'better Interreg governance'; and (ii) 'a safer and more secure Europe', The proposed Regulation also sets out specific percentages for thematic concentration.
Programming, monitoring, eligibility : the proposal: (i) clarifies the rules governing funds for small projects that offer real added value and play an important role in building trust between citizens and institutions; (ii) ensures consistent monitoring of performance by refining the common set of performance indicators; (iii) establishes a clear hierarchy between the EU eligibility rules, the specific rules for Interreg programmes and, finally, the national eligibility rules.
BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: this proposal has no budgetary implications. The ERDF resources for the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg) shall amount to EUR 8.43 billion of the global resources available for budgetary commitment from the ERDF, ESF+ and the Cohesion Fund for the 2021-2027 programming period. The resources shall be allocated as follows:
52.7% (EUR 4.44 billion in total) for cross-border cooperation (component 1); 31.4% (EUR 2.65 billion in total) for transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation (component 2); 3.2% (EUR 270.1 million in total) for outermost regions’ cooperation (component 3); 1.2% (EUR 100 million in total) for interregional cooperation (component 4); 11.5 % (a total of EUR 970 million) for interregional innovation investments (component 5).

Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) Article 176 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ('TFEU') provides that the European Regional Development Fund ('ERDF') is intended to help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union. Under that Article and the second and third paragraphs of Article 174 of the TFEU, the ERDF is to contribute to reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and to reducing the backwardness of the least favoured regions,
Amendment 23 #

Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Based on the experience with cross- border and transnational cooperation during the programming period 2014-2020 in outermost regions, where the combination of both components within a single programme per cooperation area has not brought about sufficient simplification for programme authorities and beneficiaries, a specific outermost regions’ component should be established in order to enable outermost regions to cooperate with the
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) Based on the experience with the interregional cooperation programmes under Interreg and the lack of such cooperation within programmes under the Investment for jobs and growth goal during the programming period 2014-2020, the interregional cooperation component should focus more specifically on boosting the effectiveness of cohesion policy. That component should therefore be limited to two programmes, one to enable all kind of experience, innovative approaches and capacity building for programmes under both goals and to promote European groupings of territorial cooperation ('EGTCs') set up or to be set up pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1082/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council24 and one to improve the analysis of development trends.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) It is necessary to set out the resources allocated to each of the different components of Interreg, including each Member State's share of the global amounts for the cross-border cooperation, the transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation, the outermost regions’ cooperation and the interregional cooperation, the potential available to Member States concerning flexibility between those components.
Amendment 32 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) For the most efficient use of the support from the ERDF
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) It is necessary to clarify the rules governing small project funds which have been implemented since Interreg has existed, but have never been covered by specific provisions. As also set out in the Opinion of the Committee of the Regions ‘People-to-people and small-scale projects in cross-border cooperation programmes’32 , such small project funds play an important role in building up trust between citizens and institutions, offer great European added value and contribute considerably to the overall objective of cross-border cooperation programmes by overcoming border obstacles and integrating border areas and their citizens. They should favour in particular cultural, artistic and citizen-orientated cross-border initiatives. In order to simplify the management of the financing of small projects by the final recipients, who are often not used to applying for Union funds, the use of simplified cost options and of lump sums should be made obligatory below a certain threshold.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) Stresses that the potential of the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) is not yet being fully exploited, which could be due partly to regional and local authorities’ reservations, and partly to their fear of a transfer of competences and an ongoing lack of awareness of their respective competences; calls for any other possible causes of this situation to be swiftly identified and addressed; calls on the Commission to put forward measures to overcome the obstacles hindering effective application of this instrument in the context of the new ‘interregional’ component.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8 a) Referring to the European Parliament resolution of 13 September 2016 on ‘Cohesion Policy and Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation’ (RIS3) (2015/2278(INI), it is necessary to continue efforts to encourage a change of mentality and to promote innovative policy approaches to boost intra-regional, inter-regional, extra- regional, cross-border and transnational collaboration, including through macro- regions, by means of existing tools such as INTERREG, in order to continue boosting European added value in the strategies

To that effect, the ERDF and the external financing instruments of the Union, IPA27, NDICI28 and OCTP29, should support programmes under cross-border cooperation, transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation, outermost regions’ cooperation and interregional cooperation. The support from the ERDF and from the external financing instruments of the Union should be based on reciprocity and proportionality.

IPA assistance should continue to support the efforts of the IPA beneficiaries to advance regional, macro-regional and cross-border cooperation as well as territorial development, including through the implementation of Union macro- regional strategies. In addition, IPA assistance should address security, migration and border management, ensuring access to international protection, sharing relevant information, enhancing border control and pursuing common efforts in the fight against irregular

Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 a (new) (13a) Border regions, especially those with lower population density, tend to face worse conditions for social and economic development and generally perform less well economically than other regions within the Member States, and their full economic potential is untapped. Physical and/or geographical barriers also contribute to restricting economic, social and territorial cohesion between border regions, both within and outside the EU, particularly in the case of island and mountain regions.

Amendment 150 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 a (new) (22 a) Under cross-border cooperation programmes, people-to-people(P2P) and small-scale projects are an important and successful instrument for eliminating border obstacles, fostering contacts between people locally and, in so doing, bringing border regions and their citizens closer together. P2P projects and small- scale projects are carried out in many areas such as, inter alia, culture, sport, tourism, general education and vocational training, the economy, science, environmental protection and ecology, health care, transport and small-scale infrastructure projects, administrative cooperation and public-relations work. As also set forth in the Committee of the Regions’ opinion ‘People-to-people and small-scale projects in cross-border cooperation programmes’32, P2P projects and small-scale projects have high European added value and make a considerable contribution towards realising the overall objective of cross- border cooperation programmes
Amendment 151 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) It is necessary to clarify the rules governing small project funds which have been implemented since Interreg has existed, but have never been covered by specific provisions. As also set out in the Opinion of the Committee of the Regions ‘People-to-people and small-scale projects in cross-border cooperation programmes’32 , such small project funds play an important role in building up trust between citizens and institutions, offer great European added value and contribute considerably to the overall objective of cross-border cooperation programmes by overcoming border obstacles and integrating border areas and their citizens. The beneficiary of a small project fund should be a legal body in Interreg programme area or an EGTC. In order to simplify the management of the financing of small projects by the final recipients, who are often not used to applying for Union funds, the use of simplified cost options and of lump sums should be made obligatory below a certain threshold. _________________ 32 Opinion of the European Committee of the Regions ‘People-to-people and small-

Amendment 154 #
(24) Due to the involvement of more than one Member State, and the resulting higher administrative costs, including for regional points of contact (or ‘antennae’), which function as important points of contact for those proposing and implementing projects, and therefore as a direct line to the joint secretariats or the relevant authorities, but in particular in respect of controls and translation, the ceiling for technical assistance expenditure should be higher than that under the Investment for jobs and growth goal. In order to offset the higher administrative costs, Member States should be encouraged to reduce the administrative burden with regard to the implementation of joint projects wherever possible. In addition, Interreg programmes with limited Union support or external cross-border cooperation programmes should receive a certain minimum amount for technical assistance to ensure sufficient funding for effective technical assistance activities.
Amendment 155 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 26 (26) Based on the experience during the programming period 2014 -2020, the system introducing a clear hierarchy of rules on eligibility of expenditure should be continued while maintaining the principle of rules on eligibility of expenditure to be established at Union level or for Interreg programme as a whole

Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 (28) In order to continue the payment chain established for the programming period 2014-2020, i.e. from the Commission to the lead partner via the certifying authority, that payment chain should be continued under the accounting function. The Union support should be paid to the lead partner, unless this would result in double fees for conversion into euro and back into another currency or vice versa between the lead partner and the other partners. If not otherwise specified, the lead partner should ensure that the other partners receive the total amount of the contribution from the respective Union fund in full and within agreed timeframe among all partners and following the same procedure applied for lead partner.
Amendment 163 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 (30) A clear chain of financial liability in respect of recovery for irregularities should be established from sole or other partners via the lead partner and the managing authority to the Commission. Provision should be made for liability of Member States, third countries, partner countries or Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), where obtaining recovery from the sole or other or lead partner is not successful, meaning that the Member State reimburses the managing authority. Consequently, under Interreg programmes there is no scope for irrecoverable amounts on the level of beneficiaries. It is, however, necessary to clarify the rules, should a Member State, third country, partner country or OCT not reimburse the managing authority. The obligations of the lead partner for recovery should also be clarified.
Amendment 164 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 a (new) (30 a) It is appropriate to encourage financial discipline. At the same time, arrangements for de-commitment of budgetary commitments should take into account of the complexity of Interreg programmes and their implementation.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 a (new) (33a) In the current multiannual financial framework (MFFP), 95% of funds from the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) are earmarked for the central corridors of the TEN-T, while small projects relating to the overall network and to interventions connected with the TEN-T network, although essential for solving specific problems and for developing border connections and economies, are often not eligible for co-financing or national financing. It is therefore essential for them to be reviewed in the context of the new cross-border and transnational components.

It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. In particular, to ensure equal participation in
Amendment 170 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 36 a (new) (36 a) Promoting European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) is a major priority of EU cohesion policy. Experience shows that in most cases public support granted to ETC projects does not involve State aid at all. In the cases involving State aid, the aid amounts involved are generally relatively small. As a result they can be considered having in general only a limited impact on competition and trade between Member States. This is why they should benefit from a favourable treatment under state aid rules. Under the General Block Exemption Regulation (GBER), support for SMEs in connection with the costs of ETC projects is already exempted from reporting requirements. Special provisions for regional aid for investments by undertakings of all sizes are also included in the Guidelines on regional State aid for 2014-2020 and in the regional aid section of the GBER. In the last years the Commission has gained significant experience in relation to aid measures aimed at the promotion of ETC projects. A further extension of the scope of aid measures allowed under the General Block Exemption Regulation could therefore be considered.

Special provisions for regional aid for investments by undertakings of all sizes are also included in the Guidelines on regional State aid for 2014-2020 and in the regional aid section of the GBER.As aid for ETC projects have only a limited impact on competition and trade between Member States, and aid granted to SMEs in this context already benefits from a notification exemption, this exemption should be extended to all State aid granted in the context of European territorial cooperation projects to exempt them from reporting requirements under Article 108(3) TFEU.

Special provisions for regional aid for investments by undertakings of all sizes are also included in the Guidelines on regional State aid for 2014-2020 and in the regional aid section of the GBER. As aid for ETC projects would be compatible with the internal market and would have only a limited impact on competition and trade between Member States, it should be exempted from aid control arrangements and should not be subject to the reporting requirements under Article 108(3) TFEU.

Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) The transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation component should aim to strengthen cooperation by means of actions conducive to integrated territorial development linked to the Union's cohesion policy priorities, and should also include maritime cross-border cooperation where geographical configuration allows. Transnational cooperation should cover larger territories on the mainland of the Union, whereas maritime cooperation should cover territories around sea-basins and integrate cross-border cooperation on maritime borders during the programming period 2014-2020. Maximum flexibility should be given to continue implementing previous maritime cross-border cooperation within a larger maritime cooperation framework, in particular by defining the territory covered, the specific objectives for such cooperation, the requirements for a project partnership and the setting-up of sub-programmes and specific steering committees.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) Based on the experience with the interregional cooperation programmes under Interreg and the lack of such cooperation within programmes under the Investment for jobs and growth goal during the programming period 2014-2020, the interregional cooperation component should focus more specifically on boosting the effectiveness of cohesion policy. That component should therefore be limited to two programmes, one to enable all kind of experience, innovative approaches and capacity building for programmes under both goals and to promote European groupings of territorial cooperation ('EGTCs') set up or to be set up pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1082/2006. of the
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) It is necessary to continue supporting or, as appropriate, to establish cooperation in all its dimensions with the Union's neighbouring third countries, as such cooperation is an important regional development policy tool and should benefit the regions of the Member States which border third countries. To that effect, the ERDF and the external financing instruments of the Union, IPA27, NDICI28 and OCTP29, should support programmes under cross-border cooperation, transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation, outermost regions’ cooperation and interregional cooperation, while constantly bearing in mind the interests of the neighbouring Member States. The support from the ERDF and from the external financing instruments of the Union should be based on reciprocity and proportionality. However, for IPA III CBC and NDICI CBC, the ERDF support should be complemented by at least equivalent amounts under IPA III CBC and NDICI CBC, subject to a maximum amount set out in the respective legal act, that is to say, up to 3 % of the financial envelope under IPA III and up to 4 % of the financial envelope of the Neighbourhood geographic programme under Article 4(2)(a) of the NDICI. _________________ 27 Regulation (EU) XXX establishing the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (OJ L xx, p. y). 28 Regulation (EU) XXX establishing the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (OJ L xx, p. y).

Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) It is necessary to set out the resources allocated to each of the different components of Interreg, including each Member State's share of the global amounts for the cross-border cooperation, the transnational cooperation and maritime cooperation, the outermost regions’ cooperation and the interregional cooperation, the potential available to Member States concerning flexibility between those components.

Amendment 62 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 (24) Due to the involvement of more than one Member State and one or more third countries, and the resulting higher administrative costs, in particular in respect of controls and translation, the ceiling for technical assistance expenditure should be higher than that under the Investment for jobs and growth goal. In order to offset the higher administrative costs, Member States should be encouraged to reduce the administrative burden with regard to the implementation of joint projects wherever possible. In addition, Interreg programmes with limited Union support or external cross-border cooperation programmes should receive a certain minimum amount for technical assistance to ensure sufficient funding for effective technical assistance activities.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) In order to support the harmonious development of the Union's territory at different levels, the ERDF should support cross-border cooperation, transnational cooperation, maritime cooperation, outermost regions’ cooperation and interregional cooperation under the European territorial cooperation goal (Interreg).

Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) Within the context of the unique and specific circumstances on the island of Ireland, and with a view to supporting continued North-South cooperation under the Good Friday Agreement post-Brexit, a new 'PEACE PLUS' cross-border programme should continue and build on the work of previous programmes between the border counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Taking into account its practical importance, it is necessary to ensure that, where the programme is acting in support of peace and reconciliation, the ERDF should also contribute to promoting social, economic and regional stability in the regions concerned, in particular through actions to promote cohesion between communities. Given the specificities of the programme it should be managed in an integrated manner with the United Kingdom contribution being integrated into the programme as external assigned revenue. Furthermore, certain rules on the selection of operations in this Regulation should not apply to that programme in relation to operations in support of peace and reconciliation.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Based on the experience with cross- border and transnational cooperation during the programming period 2014-2020 in outermost regions, where the combination of both components within a single programme per cooperation area has not brought about sufficient simplification for programme authorities and beneficiaries, a specific outermost regions’ component should be established in order to enable outermost regions to cooperate with their neighbouring countries and territories in the most effective and simple way
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) Based on the experience with the interregional cooperation programmes under Interreg and the lack of such cooperation within programmes under the Investment for jobs and growth goal during the programming period 2014-2020, the interregional cooperation component should focus more specifically on boosting the effectiveness of cohesion policy. That component should therefore be limited to two programmes, one to enable all kind of experience, innovative approaches and capacity building for programmes under both goals and to promote European groupings of territorial cooperation ('EGTCs') set up or to be set up pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1082/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council24 and one to improve the analysis of development trends.

Finally, integrated territorial development focusing on functional urban areas or urban areas should be concentrated within programmes under the Investment for jobs and growth goal and in one accompanying instrument, the ‘European Urban Initiative”. The two programmes under the interregional cooperation component should cover the whole Union and should also be open for the participation of third countries. _________________ 24 Regulation (EC) No 1082/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 on a European grouping of territorial cooperation (EGTC) (OJ L 210, 31.7.2006, p. 19). 25 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions 'Strengthening Innovation in Europe's Regions: Strategies for resilient, inclusive and sustainable growth' - COM(2017) 376 final, 18.7.2017.

Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) With regard to NDICI assistance, the Union should develop a special relationship with neighbouring countries, aiming to establish an area of prosperity and good neighbourliness, founded on the values of the Union and characterised by close and peaceful relations based on cooperation. This Regulation and the NDICI should therefore support the internal and external aspects of relevant macro-regional strategies with the primary objective of eradicating poverty; they will also be contributing to sustainable development. Those initiatives are strategically important and offer meaningful political frameworks for deepening relations with and among partner countries, based on the principles of mutual accountability, shared ownership and responsibility.
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) In view of the specific situation of the outermost regions of the Union, regions that are particularly vulnerable given their exposure to various climate- related and other natural hazards, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the conditions under which those regions may have access to structural funds. Consequently, certain provisions of this Regulation should be adapted to the specificities of the outermost regions in order to simplify and foster cooperation with their neighbours, while taking into account the Communication from the Commission 'A stronger and renewed strategic partnership with the EU's outermost regions'31. _________________ 31 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank 'A stronger and renewed strategic partnership with the EU's outermost regions', - COM(2017) 623 final, 24.10.2017.
