Lithuania, Latvia to continue EU-funded cross-border cooperation program without Belarus
In light of the political situation in Belarus and the
Council of the European Union's conclusions of October 12, the Interior
Ministry has already suspended payments for projects and has asked for the
European Commission's recommendations for the next steps to be taken, the
minister told the Cabinet.
Following the suspension of payments for planned projects,
the ministry received inquiries from both Latvian and Lithuanian institutions
regarding their further implementation, she noted.
"The European Commission gave no specific
recommendations, but made recommendations for stricter oversight and control of
the projects," Tamasuniene said.
With this in mind, the ministry, the managing authority of
the program, asked for the Cabinet's approval to provide payments under the
program only to Latvian and Lithuanian project implementers, she said.
The program for implementing joint projects with Belarus was
approved in late November 2015 and allocated 74 mln euros in EU
funding.
The funding was approved for 80 joint projects. Agreements
on support for 50 of the projects were signed and advance payments were planned
to be made for all three countries.
The planned projects include the upgrading of border
infrastructure and telecommunications, and various cultural, educational,
health, environmental and other initiatives.
