LATEST ANNOUNCEMENT: NWE have launched a restricted call for proposals - closing deadline 7 October 2004 - click here for details.
The NWE programme has now had 5 calls for proposals to date. The last steering committee met in Belgium on the 24th/25th June. The UK secured Euro 20.28 million in all. 6 UK led projects were approved and a further 8 with UK partners. In addition, Euro 8.7 million worth of UK-led projects were approved for a 'reserve list’ which the PSC deemed good enough for approval but for which funding would need to be considered by the PMC in the autumn once the de-commitment risk can be more accurately determined.
Decommitment - General Warning Message
The issue of decommitment and spending targets are high on the agenda this year.
All project partners involved in ERDF funded projects under the INTERREG programmes are encouraged to send their requests for ERDF payment to the respective Programme Secretariats as soon as possible and certainly within the final deadlines set by each Programme.
It is very important that ERDF projects meet their approved spending targets - and to inform the respective international Programme Secretariat about any deviations from the approved spending targets as soon as possible - so that the Secretariats can take action to minimise the risk of losing ERDF grants.
We are not able to answer individual questions concerning the above. For further information, you are advised to contact the respective Programme Secretariats.
UK Partners and Lead Partners may wish to note that revised guidance has been issued for claims processing in the Atlantic Area INTERREG IIIB programme (see Atlantic Area website for a copy of the guidance).
