About the INTERREG IVC Programme
Authorities and stakeholders at local and regional level have a vital role to play in the achievement of the EU’s strategies for growth, jobs and sustainable development. The exchange, sharing and transfer of policy experience, knowledge and good practices will contribute to the success of this objective.
The INTERREG IVC Programme is part of the European Territorial Cooperation Objective of the Structural Fund policies for the period 2007-2013. It aims, by means of interregional cooperation, to improve the effectiveness of regional development policies and contribute to economic modernisation and increased competitiveness of Europe, by:
- Enabling local and regional actors across the EU to exchange their experiences and knowledge;
- Matching regions less experienced in a certain policy field with more advanced regions;
- Ensuring the transfer of good practices into Structural Funds mainstream programmes.
INTERREG IVC follows on from the INTERREG IIIC Programme that ran from 2002-2007. You can download here a presentation showing the main characteristics of the INTERREG IVC Programme, and the differences from INTERREG IIIC.
Programme documents
The INTERREG IVC Programme is financed through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), whose principles and regulations are laid down in Council Regulation N° 1083/2006 (General Regulation), Council and Parliament Regulation N° 1080/2006 (ERDF Regulation) and Commission Regulation N° 1828/2006 (Implementation Regulation). The principles and regulations for projects developed within the Programme are laid down in the Operational Programme.
Please note that the INTERREG IVC programme does not exercise the option available in Article 7 (4) (i) of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 amended by Regulation (EC) No 397/2009. It is thus not possible to declare costs on the basis of flat rates, standard scales of unit cost or lump sums.
