The Algarve 2030 Regional Follow-up Committee met on February 25, in the former Portimão, to analyze the program’s progress and define strategies for optimizing the execution of European funds in the region.
At the 6th Committee Meeting, fundamental topics were discussed, such as compliance with rule N+2 with the execution of 2025, the interleavement and the proposal of second reprogramming of the program, which will be submitted until the end of March.
During the session, José Apolinário, chairman of the PR Algarve 2030 Directive Commission, stressed the importance of monitoring by the European Commission, noting that “this meeting takes place at a time when all efforts are focused on accelerating the execution of the PT2030”.
In order to optimize the application of available funds, the large goal set for the region is to reach the execution of 100 million euros by November 2025.
“This is the purpose of execution for 2025 – a year before the limit of the PRR – and it is the mission of all who advocate the importance of cohesion policy and entities around this table,” added José Apolinário.
To achieve this goal, a planning by beneficiaries and objectives was defined, which is a commitment that the Algarve 2030 management authority intends to consolidate with all entities involved.
According to the governance model for the period 2021-2027, it is up to the follow-up committee to evaluate the issues that impact program progress, formulating recommendations to improve its effectiveness and efficiency.
The meeting was attended by about 60 representatives of national and regional entities, municipalities and parishes, as well as elements of the DG Regio and the Employment of the European Commission and the Development and Cohesion Agency, responsible for the technical coordination of European funds in Portugal.
The place chosen for the meeting, the old portymão, is an example of European funds -funded requalification. Built in 1916, it functioned as a lot between the 1950s and 1980s.
Its rehabilitation, completed under the previous community framework, represented an investment of 510,261.23 euros, with 60% Feder financing. Currently, the space has been regained in a multipurpose center, with areas dedicated to culture, coworking and promotion of the territory of Portimão and the region.
The region’s commitment to the region’s commitment to the effective execution of European funds, ensuring sustainable and balanced development for the coming years.
