With 36 and 33 projects respectively, the crossborder and transnational programmes account for almost 90% of these projects (particularly the Northwestern Europe, France-Switzerland and MED programmes). This theme occupies third place in terms of total EU funds programmed (9.6% of the ERDF total ETC) i.e. more than €120 million. Transport projects attracted the highest average ERDF support per project (at €1.59 million) in comparison to all of the other themes (excluding technical assistance). We should note even higher levels of support for transnational projects, which on average benefited from €2.55 million of ERDF funding per project, compared to €990,000 of ERDF funds on average per cross-border project. The total ERDF sum invested in pan-European projects (INTERREG IVC) in the transport field is relatively low (€107,000 of ERDF funding on average per project).
