During a public meeting, the President of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, the Managing Authority, Sergio Negro (disambiguation), the President of the Partnership Bruno Cesario (disambiguation) and representatives of the European Commission – DG Regio, Lucio Paderi (disambiguation) e by Stefano Lambertucci submitted publicly the Regional Programme Campania ERDF 2021 – 2027.
"A positive meeting in an important year", stressed Lucio Paderi, "which marks the closure of the 2014-2020 programming period, which is about to fully absorb resources, and the departure of the 2021-2027 programming period, for which acts involving over two billion euros have already been prepared".
Campania is ‘a region that accepts the challenge of efficiency required by the European Union’, said President Vincenzo De Luca, who pointed out that in recent years the Region has ‘worked to achieve high performance standards and today we can say that we have succeeded as the data show’.
The president of the Region has remembered also of the efforts made from Campania in order to engage resources also in complex fields, like those tied to the putting in safety of the territory. ‘We are a volcanic, seismic and hydrogeologically fragile area. We have engaged in structural projects that require greater commitment and difficulty than financing individual companies that allow easy spending by finding a balance between the demand coming from the territories and the necessary structural interventions, without making heavy investments”.
An action of great responsibility, which could be put at risk by the non-allocation of complementary funds. “We could have launched tenders and procedures, but without the certainty of additional resources we cannot commit ourselves – added De Luca – recalling how Campania, without unblocking, could find itself in serious difficulty if it were to disburse funds to deal with emergencies”.
The Regional Programme Campania ERDF 2021 – 2027, with an endowment of over €5.5 billion (5,534,632,274 €), was the first large-scale programme to be approved in Italy by the European Commission (Decision 7879 of 26 October 2022).
Over five billion to win five challenges and make Campania: smarter and more competitive; greener; more connected; more inclusive; closer to the citizens.
In just over 6 months € 2.14 billion, more than one third of the financial envelope of the RP Campania ERDF 2021-2027, has already been programmed by the Campania Region It has clear ideas on how to invest the Programme’s resources to promote balanced and environmentally friendly territorial development, promoting employment, innovation and the well-being of the population.
These are operations with a high strategic content that aim to increase the sustainability, competitiveness and innovation of the business system, improve the public transport system, strengthen the health system with new hospitals and medical research projects, optimise water and sewage networks and the waste cycle, remediate polluted sites and complete the interventions on the Sarno river.
Interventions to which more will be added in the coming months up to the total use of resources.
At the same time, work is being done to complete the full use of the resources of Programming 14-20, which is about to close (which will take place at the end of 2025), managing, once again, to use the 100% the resources allocated by the EU.
