Here is for you a new version of the prospectus of European programs 2021-2027, with all the new features. We will continue to update it with all final versions of the regulations.
European programs 2021-2027, the Regulations: why are they important?
Every European program-whether directly or indirectly managed-is based on a regulation. The regulation is the legal foundation for the implementation of the program: it allows the European Commission and (generally) the managing authorities to act in accordance with the objectives, financial allocations, criteria, and implementation modalities of the program itself, defined in a long debate, technical and democratic, among the main community institutions.
In addition to providing a legal basis, regulations contain the main information on which a program’s work plan, calls and projects are based. They are therefore the starting point for documenting the opportunities open in each programming cycle, and their final approval is a crucial moment that preludes the launch of new calls.
The road is only a little longer for calls funded by Structural Funds, which require further approval of specific documents(ROPs, NOPs and territorial cooperation programs). But everything is already in place for calls for many of the directly managed Community Programs.
European programs 2021-2027: Regulations, a long-standing focus
Because of their importance, drafts of the various regulations remain in the spotlight of insiders throughout the preparation period of a programming cycle.
Our Guide has been following this development for a long time already: for almost three years. For almost as long, it has been offering a prospectus that provides access, in just a few clicks, to key information regarding all the programs of the “new cycle” 2021-2027: structure, themes, financial allocation, and evolution of the legislative process of the various regulations.
The first final regulations of the Programs for Europe 2021-2027
The process of approving many regulations has finally been completed: to date, those related to the Digital Europe Program, the Single Market Program, the EU4Health Program, the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Rights and Values and Justice programs, and the LIFE program have been finalized
We have devoted, and will still devote, specific in-depth pages on major programs and related regulations.
A new prospectus summarizing the 2021-2027 programming
As the new programming has reached an important first milestone, effectively marking its operational start, we have updated our now “historic” prospectus with the following information:
- Financial allocation defined by the approved Multi-Year Financial Framework and additional financial allocation of Next Generation Europe (applicable to some programs)
- Total correspondence of the prospectus with the 2021-2027 community budget (for an overview of the use of community resources)
- Reporting on the most important and “historic” programs, those that are new in the new programming period, and those funded by the Structural Funds
- Summary of the various steps in the legislative process (already in place) and reporting of the final versions of the regulations for the various programs (new in recent weeks)
- Bookmarking a link that provides insight into the technical debate and “political genesis” of various European programs
And now to the work
All that remains now is to make good use of this information, which will be constantly updated and remain as a reference point in the pages of our Guide, throughout the planning period.
Keep an eye on the prospectus and update links to get all the information about the new programming first.
