It is no longer being continued: instead, cooperation in the relevant regions will in future be pursued under the Interreg II C programme. It has also been possible for cross-border projects to receive funding under Article 10 of the ERDF (ECU 200 m), in cases where projects were simultaneously both of a cross-border and of an inter-regional nature. Such programmes include Recite (cooperation between EU internal regions), Ecos/Ouverture (inter-regional cooperation with countries external to the EU), Urban pilot projects and Terra (urban planning and development of networks of regional and local authorities).
Parmi ces programmes figurent entre autres Recite (coopération interrégionale à l'intérieur de l'Union européenne), ECOS/Ouverture (coopération interrégionale avec des pays tiers), projets pilotes URBAN et TERRA (aménagement urbain et développement de réseaux des autorités régionales et locales). La création de réseaux de coopération entre villes est soutenue par l'initiative URBAN (600 millions d'écus).
