  General information

On 11 September 2007 the European Commission approved an Operational Programme for the Campania region in Italy for 2007-2013. This Operational Programme comes under the Convergence objective and has a total budget of 6.9 billion euros. The financing provided by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) amounts to some 3.4 billion euros, representing about 11.8% of Community aid to Italy as part of the cohesion policy for 2007-2013.

The national contribution amounts to 3.4 billion euros and may partly consist of Community loans granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other loan instruments.

  Purpose and aim of the programme

The main aim of the Operational Programme is to promote the balanced and sustainable development of Campania by means of a long-term strategy intended to:

  improve the quality of life;

• • 

  ensure the balanced development of the region's urban and rural areas;

• • 

  increase employment (for both men and women);

• •

The programme is intended to make a significant contribution to the objectives of the Lisbon Strategy (54% of expenditure will target these objectives), with major support for research and development (R&D) and technological innovation and its dissemination in the region.

The detailed description of the priorities indicates that the proportion of Community financing devoted to the Lisbon priorities will amount to more than 52.5 % of ERDF funds.

  respond to pressing environmental demands;
• - 

  contribute to the creation of an environmental context conducive to supporting tourism in the region.

Priority 2: Competitiveness of the region's productive economy [about 17.7% of total investment]

The aim of this priority is to enhance the competitiveness of Campania and, more specifically, to improve the productivity of production systems in the region's strategic sectors. The main priorities here are the promotion and dissemination of research and innovation, internationalisation and attracting foreign investment to the region.

Priority 3: Energy [about 4.4% of total investment]

This priority focuses on energy saving and the sustainable use of energy resources. The aim is to reduce the region's energy deficit by increasing regional energy production, especially from renewable sources.

Priority 4: Accessibility and transport [about 17.5% of total investment]

The aim of this priority is to contribute to the development of the region's communication routes by focusing on the European Network of Trunk Communications. The main aim is to make Campania a major communication point for the Mediterranean and also to improve access to the most peripheral areas.

Priority 5: Information society [about 5.8% of total investment]

The aim of this priority is to have a direct effect on the competitiveness of the regional economy, at the level both of undertakings (competitiveness) and of individuals (access to services, spread of on-line services).

Priority 6: Urban development and quality of life [about 2.2% of total investment]

The aim of this priority is to improve inhabitants' living conditions by incorporating actions for urban development in actions to promote social inclusion and wellbeing.
