The experience on integrated projects carries on in 2007-2013:
• Extends to both convergence and competitiveness regions;
• with less national level guidance, becomes less standard across regions;
• In most regions, integrated projects for urban settings follow different procedures from those designed for marginal areas
Ministry of Economic Development
Concluding remarks:
• Structural Funds are compatible with sub-regional scale of economic development planning;
• Strength (I): sectoral lines of economic development intervention are reconciled at the local scale
• Strength (II): Local public institutions develop capacity to plan economic development in an integrated fashion;
• Covering all territories is overly ambitious • Integrated terrritorial approach encounters some
resistance, adds one level of coordination • Cohesion programs should not build special ad-hoc
institutions, but involve “ordinary” local governments
