    WRITTEN QUESTION No. 445/98 by Concepció FERRER to the Commission. Decentralization of the Interreg II programme

    Official Journal C 310 , 09/10/1998 P. 0064


    WRITTEN QUESTION E-0445/98 by Concepció Ferrer (PPE) to the Commission (27 February 1998)

    Subject: Decentralization of the Interreg II programme

    The aim of the Interreg II programme is to implement effective mechanisms to facilitate cooperation between frontier regions.

    Some countries have chosen to decentralize the office responsible for managing this programme to the region concerned, such as France, which has established an office in Toulouse for the Midi-Pyrénées region.

    Does the Commission not consider that all Member States should be asked to decentralize the offices responsible for the management of this programme to bring them into closer contact with the situation in the region concerned and with the beneficiaries of the programme, while at the same time improving management efficiency?

    Answer given by Mrs Wulf-Mathies on behalf of the Commission (2 April 1998)

    In the guidelines for the Interreg II operational programmes ((OJ C 180, 1.7.1994. )), the Commission stresses the importance it attaches to the establishment or development, in cooperation with the regional or local authorities concerned, of shared institutional or administrative structures in border areas competent to implement projects. The Member States have been encouraged to take this into account as far as possible.
