The Programme
The Interreg Euro-MED Programme supports cooperation across Mediterranean borders. We provide funds for projects developed and managed by public administrations, universities, private and civil society organisations.
The Programme brings together partners from 69 regions of 14 countries from the Northern shore of the Mediterranean with a common objective: a climate neutral and resilient society for the benefit of its citizens.
For the next seven year, together with our partners we will work to make the region smarter, greener and improve the governance between its stakeholders.
The total programme budget amounts to about 294M€ for the 2021-2027 period.
Programme bodies
Managing authority
The Managing Authority (MA) is responsible for managing and implementing the programme on behalf of the participating partner countries. The managing authority of Interreg Euro-MED is the Provence Alpes Cote d’Azur Region (France).
MONITORING COMMITTEE
The Monitoring Committee (MC) is responsible for the efficient and qualitative implementation of the Programme. Projects applications are approved by the MC.
Each country involved in the programme (10 EU and 4 IPA countries) is represented in the committee and decisions are made by consensus (one vote per country).
JOINT SECRETARIAT
The Joint Secretariat (JS) provides information to potential beneficiaries, assesses the projects applications and supports partners in the implementation of their projects.
The JS also assists the other bodies implementing the Programme through day-to-day operational administration. It is based in Marseille (France).
NATIONAL CONTACT POINTS
The National Contact Points (NCP) provide national potential beneficiaries with information on the Programme, calls for projects and administrative requirements for the submission of applications. They also support beneficiaries during project implementation and facilitate the communication and re-use of knowledges, experiences and project results. Each partner country has a National Contact Point who can support potential partners and beneficiaries in their local languages.
NATIONAL CONTROL SYSTEM
The National Control System provides information on the administrative set-up in each country and is responsible, beside any other country-specific information, for the control system to be applied.
AUDIT AUTHORITY
The Audit Authority (AA) is responsible for verifying the effective functioning of the management and control system of the Programme. The role of the AA is ensured by the French National Audit Authority for European Funds (AnAFe), based in France (Paris) and independent of the other bodies.
It is assisted by a group of independent auditors composed of a representative from each partner state who shall not be involved in any other management or certification activity under the Interreg Euro-MED Programme.
ACCOUNTING AUTHORITY
The Accounting Authority (AcA) certifies statements of expenditure and applications for payment before they are sent to the European commission. The AcA then receives payments from the Commission and ensures the reimbursement towards projects partners. It is also responsible for drawing up the annual accounts.
Full details of the role and responsibilities of each body can be found in the Cooperation Programme document.
