With the establishment of the Monitoring Committee and the discussion of the selection criteria, the Regional Programme Campania ERDF 21/27 starts.
The Committee brought together representatives of the European Commission, the Central State, the Campania Region and the Economic and Social Partnership.
To coordinate the work of the President of the Partnership, Bruno Cesario (disambiguation), He highlighted the listening and sharing work carried out with the organisations of the productive categories, workers and civil society. Interlocution essential to achieve a participatory and inclusive Programme.
During the meeting, project selection criteria were discussed with the aim of maximising the effectiveness, efficiency and usefulness of the operations to be financed under the Programme, with a particular focus on environmental sustainability.
The PR Campania FESR 21/27 intervenes on five priority objectives with the aim of making Campania more competitive, greener, more connected, more inclusive and closer to citizens.
The investments will allow to continue the actions already in place for the protection of the environment (waste and water cycle), the enhancement of coasts and inland areas, the strengthening of the transport system, the fight against oncological diseases, digitalization, the energy transition and innovation, also thanks to the updating of the Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3) of the Campania Region.
In addition, administrative reinforcement measures will be financed by hiring technicians, without burdening the regional budget, which will make it possible to speed up the procedures and, therefore, the implementation of the Programme.
The Vice-President of the Regional Council of Campania spoke at the Monitoring Committee. Fulvio Bonavitacola, He focused on the role of cohesion policy, calling it ‘an EU macro-economic strategy to ensure that the development of the territories that make up it is homogeneous, thus strengthening the economy of the entire Union. Unfortunately, in Italy, on the other hand, the development of the south is not seen as an opportunity for growth for the whole country. In this context, where divisive rather than cohesive spirits are revived, it becomes essential to spend European funds well. To balance wrong strategic choices, such as those made with the NRRP, and to demonstrate, through the work of Campania, that the regions of the South are able to make the best use of European resources”.
“The selection criteria are the operational development needed to prepare the calls for what is the first major Italian programme, approved last October. More than €5 billion, of which €40 billion% dedicated to the challenges of the ecological transition and energy efficiency, it is therefore important that the conditions for initiating actions and transferring resources to the territory have been put in place” – the representative of the Directorate-General for Regional Policy of the European Commission, Lucio Paderi (disambiguation).
