Some of them are feasible, such as the cross-border cooperation programme.

After this initial period, the cross-border cooperation programme underwent considerable change.

On this, I can tell you that the Black Sea cross-border cooperation programme already supports contact between NGOs.

A large part of the projects under the TACIS cross-border cooperation programme relates to improvements in these areas.

From 2004 to 2006, he was an alternate member of the Joint Monitoring Committee of the Romania-Hungary Cross-Border Cooperation Programme.

Since March 2010 Euroregion Baltic has been a partner in the Capacity Building Project, which is currently being implemented within the South Baltic Cross-border Cooperation Programme.

Since 2009 the Youth Board has been managing a joint project within the South Baltic Cross-border Cooperation Programme entitled Youth Cross-border Cooperation and Communication Yc3.

So the Commission has been developing some proposals for regional schemes to combat climate change and we have also begun the implementation of our Black Sea cross-border cooperation programme focusing on civil society and on local authorities.

Currently, the organisation provides support to the ERB Water Forum and assists the Pomorskie region in its efforts to resubmit the BaltNet project to the South Baltic Cross-border Cooperation Programme.

The SHAPING 24 project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund from the European Union's INTERREG IVA 2 Mers Seas Zeeen Cross-border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013.

I should also like to stress that I feel there is considerable synergy between the cross-border cooperation programme and all the more general work - which I follow closely, as Commissioner responsible for the Single Market - on implementing the White Paper to prepare the CCEEs structurally for future accession.

I hope we will also allocate Phare funds for this.

With regard to external policy there is fundamental change to the Phare programmes.

In this context, phare is used to describe the tower as something that will bring attention.

I would also add that the countries of central and eastern Europe can already benefit from the Phare programmes.

The financial memoranda in respect of the Phare programmes for 1998 will be planned on this basis.

It is a very useful practice and the Phare framework programme provides for it.

The Commission wishes to improve the management of Phare in the following way.

Finally, I would make a comment, and it has been mentioned again this evening, on the staff situation at Phare.

In the future assessment of the Phare programme we should also find out how funds have been used to improve the position of children.

In 1980, she became a reporter for the independent journal Le Phare.

Construction of the bypass was subsidized by the Phare Fund.

Moreover, since 1993 we have provided technical assistance through Phare, not least for the control of chemical precursors.

I should just like to draw attention to one point: we have been spending Phare and Tacis funds for years.

We have already mentioned the Phare programme.

I fail to understand why there is an enormous turnover of staff even at the highest levels of Phare management.

I am pleased to see in Agenda 2000 that such a high percentage of Phare aid is being made available for this.

Le phare (the lighthouse) is the pillar-shape archives room near the student secretary.

Additionally, he helped uncover cases of fraudulent use of Phare funds.

The volume of funds provided for Phare exceeded the Commission's ability to administer them.

The Commission has announced that the Phare programmes will be revised, also with a view to making pre-accession easier.

Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues for their assistance and some good discussions about the Phare programme and its future.

What is the Commission doing to utilize Phare programme funds more efficiently in the important preparatory stage?

It would also be important for the Member States themselves, who sit on the Phare management committee, to publicize the programme at home.

In the further development of the Phare programme, moreover, account will be taken of the results of the interim evaluation.

The Commission delegations will be reinforced so that they can better monitor the implementation of Phare.
