Helle Fischer, chairman of the task force, reported on the outcome from the meeting of the 15th May 2002 on a proposal to revise the selection criteria. The SC decided to agree on the proposal. (Annex 2)

 

The Steering Committee decided that projects (lead partners) with partners from the candidate countries, Russia and Belarus would have to provide the Joint Secretariat with additional information about the financial situation of these partners in case of approval of the BSR INTERREG III B project. This means that information shall be given about the means by which the project activities in these countries would be financed if no PHARE and/or Tacis funding (where applicable) would be approved.

 

Marta Plichta informed the SC about the state of affairs regarding complementary projects submitted to PHARE and Tacis (Annex 8)
