Ms Gina McIntyre:

We have all the information on the list of programmes involving a non-EU country. They are programmes within the INTERREG family. There are a suite of programmes, INTERREG A, B and C. There are transnational programmes and we have a piece of research on that which details a broad list of the programmes that exist. We can certainly provide a written document to include some of that information. The Norway-Sweden programme and the Swiss-Italian programmes are examples. There are several programmes and we can provide that for the committee.

The way they operate is that the member state that stays within the EU get their ERDF element from the EU in the same way that any other programme does. The part for the country that is not in the EU comes from its national budget and it is matched.
