2014-20 programming – UK approach
UK approach to 2014-20 programming, based on Ministerial directions is:
• For co-operation programmes to deliver smart, sustainable and inclusive growth;
• A clearer focus on innovation/low carbon economy/eco-innovation that can stimulate economies and deliver early concept of products/processes and services to help reduce pollution, waste and create tangible solutions to address and prevent climate change.
• To promote joint working on low carbon, renewable energy and green and blue growth technologies where international solutions can enable job creations and provide for more efficient delivery of local services;
• Taking account of Ministerial concerns on previous results, there’s a need to ensure that future programmes deliver real value to economy and society;
• Aligning ETC programmes better with UK national and local policies and funding streams like ERDF and ESIF programmes;
• Promoting and tightening management and control arrangements to reduce financial risks to DCLG and the taxpayer!
