Municipal approach towards the funds
Division among direct and indirect European funding/calls = different approach for submission of projects’ proposals
DIRECT calls = EU gives funds to ministries = 3 OP + rural development + fishery developmentNational law rules + investment documents + CBA analysis + publicly known scale of evaluation = MORE MONEY easier approach with better turnovers
INDIRECT calls = cross border + trans national + European commission (DG)International partnerships + much more coordination + international public procurement rules (PRAG) + very strong political influence at the evaluation process + LESS MONEY for more involvement
Municipal personnel and financial limitation to projects presentation
processesEducation and involvement of employees in the international events – local national and international networking of politicians and TECHNICIANSBudget (1 year) and plan of development programmes (3 years forecast) = yearly approval process Provide the money for at least 1 year before the financial flow is concludedProject presentation and the approval/rejection of project idea = up or more than 1 year before the final decisions are made (5-10 days for clarifications!!!)

Indirect calls???
INDIRECT calls = very late start end 2008 and end of year 20091. cross border 5 approved projects+ 22 in stand by2. trans national 5 projects???3. European commission (DG) 1 approved + 4???
Already involved in 6 trans national projects through financing the activities of the Regional development centre.Collaboration and acquaintance with the Port of Koper and transport / logistics / ecological projects = new opportunities
How many projects can we propose?Are we going to be able to realize them – personnel and financial
aspect?Big uncertainty about the results –
many times with significantly important political footprint!!!
Basic conditions for successful project proposal :
Faultless project documentation (paper + electronic version); Documents of identification of investment projectsInvestment programmesCBA analysisFeasibility studiesGlobal environment impact studies
Some problems and possible solutions projects’ execution:
Difficulty of internet visibility of tenders (ministries and European Union) . Preparation of some basic documentation in stock Local community development plans in a long term periodSystem of ex post financial flow = pre financing in very rare in practice Big debts of all local communities Taxation of added value is sometimes justified or not justified (pay attention!)Different informatics systems for the financial and documentation reviews of each operational programme for example ISAAR; Maintenance of the project results for at least 5 years after its end; more financial means are needed to assure the after project’s life.
Thank you for your kind attention!
