Eligible areas of the future ENI CBC
programmes
• In duly justified cases partners outside the
participating countries could be involved in the joint
projects (e.g. in Kolarctic programme partners from
Iceland, Karelia programme partners from Sweden
and South-East Finland – Russia programme
partners from Estonia)
• Possibilities for joint projects between the
programmes should be investigated

State co-financing
• The joint allocation of state co-financing to
the programmes should equal the Community

Types of projects
• The CBC programmes are seen as an instrument for regional
development
• Development projects are the core of cooperation but also large
investment projects are considered important and necessary,
especially in the border-crossing points
• As the programme territories are large, the main geographical
focus of investments should stay at the immediate border
territories → special attention would be paid to large investment
projects implemented in the bordering area primarily

Management mode
• The future ENI CBC programmes on the Finnish-Russian border
should be implemented in full shared management mode
• In order to secure continuity and smooth launching of the
programmes, the current Managing Authorities – namely
Regional Council of Lapland, Council of Oulu Region and
Regional Council of South Karelia – could continue in their task
also in the future
• It is also evident that the Managing Authorities need support in
the implementation of the programmes → relevant support
structures should be discussed when preparing the programmes
