This theme is not represented at all in France in the Amazonia, Two Seas, Upper Rhine and INTERREG IVC programmes. It is not a priority for these programmes. For the European Territorial Cooperation projects, the average ERDF support for projects under this theme was €850,000. This sum was particularly high for the projects of the Northwestern Europe programme (approximately €2.8 million per project), unlike the projects of the Indian Ocean programme, which benefited from average ERDF support of €180,000. This theme accounted for 6% of this programme, which includes the largest number of completed initiatives, with 10 projects, i.e. almost as much as all of the transnational projects (12 projects, between two and four per transnational programme). As part of the crossborder programmes, the France-Wallonia-Flanders programme implemented nine projects, i.e. almost half of the cross-border projects. Furthermore, we should note that the URBACT exchange programme between European towns and cities has particularly contributed to this theme (please see the general presentation sheet). 3.77 1 France-Switzerland 2.04 5 France-Wallonia-Flanders 7.26 9 Greater Region (FR/LUX/BE/DE) 2.83 4 15.90 19 Atlantic Area 1.67 4 Northwestern Europe 11.15 4 Mediterranean (MED) 2.45 2 Southwestern Europe (SUDOE) 1.97 2 Transnational subtotal 17.24 12 Indian Ocean 1.83 10 Combined subtotal 1.83 10 34.96 41 Upper Rhine (FR/DE) Cross-border subtotal INTERREG IVC Pan-European subtotal OVERALL TOTAL 4 5
