EGTC AND NEW 2014-2020 PROGRAMMING

EGTC AND NEW 2014-2020 PROGRAMMING
EGTC AND NEW 2014-2020 PROGRAMMING
SOME CONCRETE EXAMPLES
•SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN FOR THE 3 MUNICIPALITIES
•MATERNITY HOSPITAL
•JOINT URBAN PLANNING FOR REVITALIZATION OF MARGINALIZED INNER CITY AREAS
EGTC AND NEW 2014-2020 PROGRAMMING
Strenghts and weaknesses
• Strategic coordination of the policies in the field of local transport, Energy and natural resources management; healthcare and welfare services; culture and training, urban planning
• Implementation of territorial cooperation programmes and projects co-financed by the EU or other financing sources.
• Open consultation for the criteria of the new 2014-2020 EU programming period in which the EGTC will be able to give a substantial contribution as a cross-border institution, representative of the territory
• Option for the management of ITI within Italy-Slovenian CBC programme
• Lack of clear guidelines on how to concretely design ITIs
• New Programming tools are creating great expectations for local stakeholders but programming bodies are still reluctant and are not encouraging their activation
• EGTC is much more seen as a «container» rather than a tool for the achievement of concrete results
• In spite of the great opportunity offered by the new programming period tools (territorial approach, role of EGTC, multi-fund options) institutions are adopting a conservative approach rather an innovative one
Thanks for your attention!
