The new Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Romania – Ukraine – Republic of Moldova will be administrated by the Romanian Ministry of Regional Development and Public Administration. For the period 2014 – 2020, the programme will comprise new elements such as:
- The possible extension of the geographical area to adjacent regions, beyond the border counties; however the budget will remain the same;
- The possibility of using a maximum of 20% of the funds to finance beneficiaries and activities outside the area of the programme (justification is needed);
- Large infrastructure programmes could comprise up to 30% of the total funds dedicated to the programme ;
- Funding will be concentrated on specific domains, which will be established following a series of consultations organised in all the three countries;
- The people to people activities becomes a horizontal priority;
- The programme’s strategic objectives are: the promotion of economic and social development; environment and health; ensuring the mobility of people, goods and capital.
