THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund¹, and in particular point (d) of Article 37(1), the third paragraph of Article 44, Articles 59(6), 60(b) and 66(3), point (c ) of Article 67(2), Articles 69(1) , 70(3), 71(5), 72(2), 74(2) and 76(4) and the second subparagraph of Article 99(5) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 on the European Regional Development Fund², and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7(2) and the second paragraph of Article 13 thereof,

Whereas:

• (1) 

  Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 replaces Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds³, and Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 replaces Regulation (EC) No 1783/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 1999 on the European Regional Development Fund⁴, both Regulations taking into account new developments in the field of Structural Funds. It is therefore appropriate also to lay down new provisions implementing Regulations (EC) No 1080/2006 and (EC) No 1083/2006.

• (2) 

  Experience has shown that citizens of the European Union are insufficiently aware of the role played by the Community in funding programmes aimed at reinforcing economic competitiveness, creating jobs and strengthening internal cohesion. It is therefore appropriate to provide for the preparation of a communication plan which identifies in detail the information and publicity measures necessary to bridge this communication and information gap. For the same purpose, it is also necessary to identify the responsibilities and the roles that should be played by each of the actors involved.

• (3) 

  In order to guarantee that information on possible funding opportunities is disseminated widely to all interested parties and for the sake of transparency, the minimum content of the information measures needed to inform potential beneficiaries about the financing opportunities offered jointly by the Community and the Member States through the Funds should be set out, including an obligation to publicise the steps that a potential beneficiary should take to submit an application for funding and the selection criteria that will be used.

• (4) 

  In order to enhance transparency regarding use of the Funds, the list of beneficiaries, the names of the operations and the amount of public funding allocated to operations should be published, electronically or otherwise.

• (5) 

  In order to ensure a better implementation of the information measures and to allow a better exchange of information between the Member States and the Commission on the information and publicity strategies and results, contact persons responsible for the information and publicity measures should be designated and should participate in appropriate Community networks.

• (6) 

  For the purposes of Articles 37 and 67 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, it is necessary to lay down detailed rules...
