To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions it has had with North Ayrshire Council regarding the Interreg IV Cross Border Programme 2007-2013.
Answer
The Cross Border Cooperation Programme brings a welcome ‚¬192 million of EU investment to a ‚¬256 million programme for the cross border region, which includes parts of Western Scotland. It provides an opportunity for Scottish organisations to collaborate with Irish and Northern Irish partners in developing creative and innovative projects that will bring long-term economic and social benefits to the cross border area.
In order to best facilitate and encourage Scottish participation in the Programme a National Contact Point (NCP) for Scotland, hosted by Scotland Europa, has been appointed. The role of the NCP is to engage directly with stakeholders, provide support and advice to potential project applicants and to coordinate activity involving Scottish organisations. Discussions on potential projects have been held between the NCP and North Ayrshire Council.
Additionally, Scottish Government officials work closely with the Programme''s Managing Authority and Secretariat, the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), and their Irish and Northern Irish counterparts to promote eligible Scottish projects to the best advantage. Officials also meet regularly with the key Scottish partners who provide representation on the main programme committees and contribute to briefings and information sessions for stakeholders and other interested parties.
