The Interreg Programme 2021-2027
Here is the summary of the process of the programming of the new programme.
The draft document of the Interreg VI-A Estonia-Latvia programme 2021-2027, approved by the Joint Programming Committee (JPC) on 29 October 2021, was published for reading and commenting by the organisations, stakeholders and other interested parties from 8 November until 8 December 2021. The programme authorities discussed the received proposals and the programme document was updated to some extent in accordance with the proposals submitted during the public hearing and the negotiations between the Member States (Estonia and Latvia) and the European Commission. The JPC approved the updated draft document on 6 January 2022. The Estonian Government approved the draft programme on 3 February, the Latvian Government gave its approval on 8 March.
The managing authority submitted the programme to the European Commission on 28 March, 2022 and received official observations on 9 June. Please note that the draft is a subject to the comments by the European Commission, and consequently amendments may be introduced.
