This theme had a particularly high «transnational» aspect to it: indeed, over half of the projects (more than 55%) were performed as part of transnational programmes, accounting for almost 12% of the «transnational» programming. Promoting renewable energy and improving energy efficiency are strategic objectives of the Mediterranean programme: more than 20 % of the programmed budgetary envelope was deployed to these ends. Among the cross-border programmes, the France (Manche) - England programme (9 projects) followed by the Upper Rhine programme (7 projects) accounted for most of the projects under this theme. Indeed, each of these programmes included a priority aspect specific to sustainable development, accounting for respectively 9% and 10% of their budgetary envelope in this area, i.e. €12.7 million and almost €5 million. Transnational subtotal INTERREG IVC The average ERDF support per project was relatively Pan-European subtotal 1.67 9 high (€1.3 million). This support was higher for transnational projects (€1.80 million) compared to OVERALL TOTAL 93.36 72 cross-border projects (€860,000 and pan-European projects (€186,000). The Northwestern Europe transnational programme, which received the largest ERDF contribution over the 2007-2013 period, benefited on average from €3.68 million of ERDF funds in the energy field. Furthermore, the energy theme is second-placed in the Mediterranean programme, (as a percentage of the programmed budgetary envelope) as a result of an explicit wish during the programming period to focus on strategic projects based around this theme. 3
