The EU programming tool through which the Region finances projects to support regional economy.

The Regional Operative Program (ROP) ERDF, “Objective-Regional Competitiveness and Employment”, is a programming tool arranged by Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (after being approved by the European Commission with a legislative act). It aims at defining the fields of regional territorial development which will benefit from the financial help of European, national and regional structural funds from 2007 and 2013, within the social-economic framework of Europe (as provided by art. 158 and 159 of the Treaty).

Thanks to the opportunities of the Regional Operative Program, Friuli Venezia Giulia will be able to foster the implementation of several projects within a strategic development line aiming at underpinning regional economy in order to allow the territory to compete in both the national and international fields.

The ROP-ERDF is organized around six axis representing six strategic priorities.

 

The general goals of ROP ERDF 2007-2013 are promoting enterprises’ competitiveness (Axis 1), fostering environmental sustainability (Axis 2), developing transport and informatics services (Axis 3), favoring internal cohesion and the balanced territorial development (Axis 4) and promoting long term environmental sustainability of economic development and the use of renewable energy resources. (Axis 5).

The main developments compared to the previous program (former Objective 2) are as follows:
-    No areas of the Region excluded by benefits;
-    The whole regional territory can benefit from financial help;
-    A particular attention devoted to the development of small and medium enterprises, the environmental protection and the risk-prevention;
-    Promotion of the integrated urban development under an environmental perspective.

For the programming period 2007-2013, 303.001.323 € were initially allocated and distributed as follows:
