The Joint Monitoring and Steering Committee (JMSC) of the Lithuania, Poland and Kaliningrad Region of Russian Federation Neighbourhood Programme (Neighbourhood Programme) using a written procedure made a decision on allocation of additional funds to projects already financed from the Programme.

It was possible to take such decision as the European Commission approved the extension of the eligibility period of the Neighbourhood Programme till June 2009 and as the Neighbourhood Programme had some savings (after summarizing results of all the implemented projects). The decision came in to force on March 27th, 2009.

The total amount of 3.991.292,23 EUR, including 2.976.986,02 EUR ERDF funds was allocated to 28 projects. The funds were allocated mainly to cover expenditures suffered by project partners while implementing activities, which exceeded the initially approved project budgets and in some cases it was the last chance for the project partners to finalise activities, which they have not managed to finalise in the previous period. Unfortunately, not all the submitted requests were approved, as the total amount of 5.130.278,26 EUR was requested.

The Lead partners of the projects having the possibility to receive additional funds  are now being contacted by the Joint Technical Secretariat project managers in order to proceed with the procedure of the amendment of the subsidy contract.
