Phare Support Multi-Country MIP Cross Border Cooperation The new Phare Policy Guidelines aim at concentrating assistance further on preparation of accession of the associated countries. Since 1998 Phare concentrates on two main requirements: 1) Institution Building; 2) Investment Support. The Multiannual Financial allocation to the Czech Republic will be approximately 330 MECU for the period (including Cross Border Cooperation). The Czech Republic also participates in and is a beneficiary of all Phare funded Multi-Country programmes The CBC programme cofinances activities that have a cross border impact and are related to the INTERREG II programme in specified areas of the border regions of North, West and South Bohemia for the Czech-German and of South Bohemia and South Moravia for the Czech-Austrian CBC programme. The annual allocation for the CBC programme is 25 MECU for the Czech-German programme (started in 1994) and 9 MECU for the Czech-Austrian programme (started with 6 MECU in 1995). Phare Support The Phare programme has made an overall positive contribution to the transition process in the Czech Republic and its integration with the EU. The overall allocation between 1990 and 1997 was 493 MECU (excl. allocations under multicountry programmes). Its distribution is shown in the table below. 2

The programme amounting to ECU 32 million focuses on: 1) Institution building (ECU 18 million), by supporting activities for the adoption, implementation and enforcement of the Community acquis, including the modernisation of public administration and participation in Community programmes; 2) Civil society (ECU 3 million), whereby civil society organisations will be reinforced - an essential element in the further consolidation of a democratic society; 3) Economic and social cohesion and competitiveness (ECU 11 million), with a focus on preparation for participation in the Community s Structural Funds. In total the EU committed ECU 60 million to the Czech Republic in This includes ECU 32 million for the national programme; ECU 3 million for the TEMPUS programme; and ECU 25 million for cross-border co-operation with Germany.
