Eurostars Mid-Term – Recommendations
Policy recommendations beyond 2013
The Eurostars Joint Programme should be continued beyond 2013.
In the next edition of Eurostars Programme, European Commission should prepare a proposal to expand the budget, using flexibility clauses, to respond to the increasing demand.
Policy recommendations until 2013
European Commission and the Member States should provide sufficient funds to make it possible to fund a greater share of projects that meet the Eurostars threshold criteria.
