Other issues
The secretariat of the regional cooperation group discussed cooperation between the Regional Council of Northern Ostrobothnia and the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment of Northern Ostrobothnia. It was hoped that cooperation would be carried out in the planning of the ERDF environmental themes (climate change adaptation and circular economy) in view of the next round of applications.
The JTF Secretariat also reviewed the state of play of JTF funding. The Regional Council of Northern Ostrobothnia no longer has JTF funding available at all. At the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, the situation regarding business subsidies is also good, i.e. there are more applications inside than the available authorisation to grant grants. There is still a good amount of ESF-type JTF funding left.
Next meeting
The next meeting will be held on 26 March 2023.
