About

The EUSBSR embodies the concept of macro-regional cooperation which is based on effective and more coordinated use of existing funding sources, and the promotion of synergies and complementarities.

It is stated in the Council Conclusions on the EUSBSR, adopted on 26 October 2009, the Strategy

"is financially neutral and relies on a coordinated approach, synergetic effects and, on a more effective use of existing EU instruments and funds, as well as other existing resources and financial instruments."

The European Social Fund Plus, European Regional Development Fund, Cohesion Fund, European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund are key funding sources of the Strategy.

However, the actions and projects under the Strategy and its Action Plan can be funded by many other financial sources (Horizon Europe, the LIFE programme, Education and Culture programmes, or numerous cross-border and regional programmes such as the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme), as well as national, regional, private sources.
