IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AND PROCEDURES (draft August 14th)
(No Programme Complement)
Pro-active approach and more support to project applicants

coordination, common tools and strategies), no “study projects” or
exchange of experience only
 involvement of relevant decision makers and direct impact on
regional/local policies
 complementarities and synergies with other funds/programmes
