  2. Romania’s participation within the European Territorial Cooperation programmes 2007 - 2013 • Cross-border cooperation • Trans-national cooperation • Interregional cooperation

  3. The specific characterof the European Territorial Cooperation programmes 2007 – 2013 implies the cooperation of Romanian regions with: • regions from neighbouring countries(cross-border cooperation) • regions from a certain geographic area(trans-national cooperation) • regions from any EU Member State (Inter-regional cooperation) Through programmes jointly managed and administered by the participant states

  4. The territorial cooperation at European level promotes the harmonious and balanced development all over European Union territory through: • cross-border cooperation– finances accessibility, environmental and hazard prevention projects, economic and social development and people to people actions at the EU internal and external borders; • trans-national cooperation - mainly aiming at financing actions and developing networks to lead to an integrated territorial development in areas such as: innovation, environment, accessibility and urban development; • inter-regional development– represents the cooperation among public authorities on problems of common interest, through transfer of experience and good practices among the European Union regions, by constituting networks among the EU cities, as well as EU researchers.

  5. The MDPWHmanages all the 11 territorial cooperation programmes in which Romania participates in the period 2007-2013 For each territorial cooperation programme there is a sole budget. All the programmes (with the exception of INTERACT II) have an economic-social development axis/area, which also includes urbandevelopment • Co-financing rate: • - for the programmes financed under the ERDF and the IPA: • 85% from Community funds • 15% from national funds • For the programmes financed under the ENPI: • 90% from Community funds • 10% from national funds. This may vary from a programme to another and from a priority axis to another.
