INTRODUCTION
Neighbourhood Programmes support cross-border and transnational co-operation along the external border of the Union and build on existing or planned INTERREG programmes and structures. They allow for joint project presentation, selection and implementation along these borders. Neighbourhood Programmes will also be able to support a wider range of activities, and will require the full and active participation of the neighbouring countries concerned. The Programme Complement (hereinafter PC) supplements the Hungary-Slovakia-Ukraine Neighbourhood Programme, which was prepared in compliance with Regulation of European Commission No 1260/1999 laying down general rules for structural funds and other connected documents. Thanks to the INTERREG III A Program’s sources of funding, the investment projects, which are of a core meaning from the cross border development point of view, support efficiently the different forms of cooperation between the institutions and population on each side of the border.
Main Program’s objectives: promotion for the economic and social development of the border regions; joint tackling of the problems in the environment, health protection, prevention and fighting with the organized crime; creation of the safety and effective borders; motivation to the creation of the partnership interpersonal links.
In Hungary and Slovakia the Neighbourhood Program funding is made from the European Regional and Development Fund and national co-financing, in Ukraine – from TACIS funding sources. For the period 2004 - 2006 for the implementation of the mentioned Program Hungary can use 19,1 million euro accounting national co financing, Slovakia – 12,6 ml euro. The overall amount available for Ukraine in the frame of the TACIS Program is 4,5 ml euro.
Spheres of cooperation: economic cooperation; institutional cooperation; small scale projects fund (cooperation between local municipalities also in the sphere of culture); environmental protection and concerned small scale investments; nature protection development of the transport infrastructure and small scale telecommunications.
