Regional Policy: most Operational Programmes now adopted


148 programmes out of the 311 that the Commissioner and the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban policy (DG REGIO) have received are now adopted; 130 of them are Investment for Growth and Jobs programmes and 18 are European Territorial Cooperation programmes. More programmes should be adopted today and next week.

These programmes concern investments under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund, for a total amount today of 132.4 billion euro. All of REGIO – led programmes for France, Luxembourg, Ireland, Croatia, Slovenia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Slovakia, Malta, Cyprus, Greece, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Denmark and Lithuania are now adopted. Germany and Poland have now most of their programmes adopted. Commenting on these adoptions, Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Creţu said: "Stepping up our efforts this week, we have now managed to adopt a total of 148 adoptions. This represents tremendous progress we can all be proud of. I want to stress how good and fruitful the cooperation was between the Commission and the national authorities during the discussions on these programmes; it is a very good omen for our collaboration for the coming years. I intend to keep this pace in early 2015, so we could start implementing these programmes on the ground as soon as possible. I also want to highlight that, although we put a lot of effort into carrying on the adoption processes as fast as we could, we did not put aside the qualitative aspect of these programmes. Each and every one of them pave the way for a prosper future in Europe's regions."
