LEADER FAIR 2016
Cooperation between NRNs (1)
• Disseminating information to LEADER /
CLLD LAGs;
•Do NRNs can support the LAGs on covering
the participation costs of the fair?
• Do somebody have contacts with third
countries representatives?
– Estonia would like to invite participants from
Moldova and Turkey.
LEADER FAIR 2016
Cooperation between NRNs (2)
• Each NRN will make a presentation about the
current situation of LEADER / CLLD implementation,
LAGs and TNC conditions, for example:
– is the evaluating the projects the task of LAG or is it national?
– is the LAG cooperation projects budget fixed or is it LAG’s own
decision?
– are the travel costs to outside of the cooperation project area
eligible for the LAG?
– cooperation with third countries, are there any special rules?
– other…
• Each NRN should organize and lead 1-2 short seminars.
It is easier to deal with challenges while cooperating!
