(08 December 2020) – The Commission welcomes today’s political agreement reached by the European Parliament and EU Member States on the Commission’s proposal for post-2020 European Territorial Cooperation programmes (“Interreg”).

This is the third file related to cohesion policy where trilogue negotiations are concluded pending the final approval of the legal texts by the European Parliament Plenary and the Council.
With a budget of €8 050 million, the 6th generation of Interreg will support cooperation between regions, citizens and economic stakeholders over their respective land and maritime borders.
The new legislation will also cover the cooperation between regions at transnational level in the framework of the Macro regional and Sea basin Strategies: Baltic, Ionian/Adriatic and Black seas, Danube and Alps.
