Key CBC principles (I)
• Common benefit
– Measures financed under ENPI CBC need to benefit
both parties, thus the requirement for joint
programmes, joint management and joint projects
• Partners are equal
– they prepare the programme together
– they jointly designate a single managing authority in
charge of “implementing” the programme
– they define the priorities and select together the
actions to be financed
Key CBC principles (II)
• Partnership: essential that programmes established in
close consultation between central and regional/local
level, between state and non-state actors
• Complementarity:
Community
assistance
shall
complement national, regional and local measures
• Co-financing: partners should contribute with own
resources to the programme
