Bodies participating in projects under the joint operational programmes
1. Projects shall be submitted by applicants representing partnerships consisting of at least one partner from a Member State participating in the programme and at least one partner from a partner country participating in the programme.
2. The applicants and partners referred to in paragraph 1 are established in regions defined in Article 4(a) and (b) and comply with the eligibility criteria defined in Article 23(2) of this Regulation.
In cases where the projects’ objectives cannot be achieved without the participation of partners established in regions other than those defined in the first subparagraph, participation of these other partners can be accepted.
Nature of projects
The nature of these projects may be of three kinds:
(a)
integrated projects, where each partner carries out a part of the activities of the joint project on its own territory;
(b)
symmetrical projects, where similar activities are carried out in parallel in Member States and in partner countries;
(c)
projects implemented mainly or entirely in a Member State or a partner country but for the benefit of all or some of the partners involved in the joint operational programme.
Projects take place in regions defined in Article 4(a) and (b) of this Regulation.
In exceptional cases, if necessary for achieving projects’ objectives, projects can take place partially in regions other than those defined in the second paragraph.
Information and visibility of the joint operational programme
1. The Joint Managing Authority shall be responsible for implementation of information and visibility actions relating to the joint operational programme. In particular, the Joint Managing Authority shall take all necessary steps to ensure the visibility of the Community financing or co-financing in relation to its own activities and to the activities of the projects financed under the programme. Such measures shall comply with the relevant rules on the visibility of external actions laid down and published by the Commission.
2. The responsibility of any branch offices of the Joint Technical Secretariat which might be set up in participating countries shall be to publicise activities under the joint operational programme and to provide anyone who may be interested with information.
