MEP met Secretariat staff

How do the new Structural Funds regulations work in practice for the Baltic Sea Region programme? What types of projects applied for the first application round? What are the perspectives for more closely involvement of regional Russian and Belarusian partners in transnational cooperation? Elisabeth Schroedter, since 1994 Member of the European Parliament, met staff members of the Joint Technical Secretariat at Rostock to discuss these questions. Elisabeth Schroedter MEP, engaged in the grouping of European Greens – European Free Alliance, had particularly been working on the European Cohesion Policy with a view to enhancing the role of European Territorial Cooperation programmes. She has further been dealing with foreign relations, in particular to Belarus and Moldova.
