MACEDONIA TO GET EURO 448,8 MILLION
FROM
IPA FUNDS
IN 2008-2012
Macedonia will be able to use Euro 448,8 million within the EU Instrument
for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) in the next four years.
The 2008-2012 Enlargement Strategy and progress reports for candidate and
aspirant countries, which the European Commission published on Wednesday,
read that Macedonia should obtain Euro 81,8 million in 2009, Euro 92,3
million in 2010, Euro 98,7 million in 2011 and Euro 105,8 million in 2012.
According to EC data, Macedonia's available IPA funds in 2008 amount to Euro
70,2 million.
Pertaining to the EU candidate-states, most IPA funds are envisaged for
Turkey (Euro 3,44 billion), whereas Croatia will acquire Euro 769 million.
The goal of IPA is to put the entire pre-accession assistance in a single
framework for EU candidate countries - Macedonia, Croatia and Turkey, and
aspirant states - Albania, B&H, Serbia and Montenegro.
IPA encompasses five components: rural development, transition and
institution-building, cross-border cooperation, human resources development,
and regional development. IPA funds are approved on the basis of submitted
projects in all five areas, whereas potential beneficiaries are state
institutions, municipalities, universities, companies, farmers etc. |
