2. Allocations between components
IPA is delivered through the following five components: I – Transition Assistance and Institution Building; II – Cross-Border Cooperation; III – Regional Development; IV – Human Resources Development; and V – Rural Development.
Component I, Transition Assistance and Institution Building, covers all institution-building actions and the investments related to the acquis; it helps beneficiary countries build up administrative and judicial capacity and addresses, according to priority, cooperation measures not expressly covered by other components.
Component II, Cross-Border Cooperation, supports cross-border activities among beneficiary countries and between beneficiary countries and Member States; it also covers the participation of IPA beneficiaries in European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) trans-national co–operation programmes under the Territorial Cooperation objective of the Structural Funds and in European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) sea-basin programmes, as appropriate.
Components III to V are accessible only to candidate countries and aim to prepare these countries for the programming, implementation and management of Structural, Cohesion and Rural Developments Funds, upon accession, by approximating, to the greatest extent possible under External Aid rules, the implementation methods of these funds. Specifically, component III, Regional Development, emulates to the greatest extent possible the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund. Component IV, Human Resources Development, prepares candidate countries to implement the European Social Fund in the framework of the European Employment Strategy. Component V, Rural Development, helps the candidate countries prepare for post-accession EU-funded rural development programmes by implementing pre-accession assistance through systems which are as similar as possible to those required after accession.
In determining the allocations between components, due account has been taken of the readiness of the decentralised management systems necessary for the implementation of components III, IV and V in the current candidate countries as well as the need for component II funding as it relates to cross-border cooperation with Member States to match that of the equivalent ERDF funding from budget heading 1b.
3. Other Allocations
Support expenditure
This envelope covers the administrative costs directly linked to the implementation of IPA.
Multi-beneficiary programme allocations
The multi-beneficiary programmes under component I are designed to complement the national programmes and to strengthen multilateral relations in the Western Balkans and Turkey. The strategy focuses on areas identified as crucial for European integration and stability in the region and issues on which the countries need to cooperate. Programmes with a regional impact, and / or those which can benefit from economies of scale or scope if implemented horizontally across a number of beneficiary countries, are funded under this envelope.
Multi-beneficiary programmes support, inter alia, the Regional School for Public Administration, the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), the fight against organised crime, ERASMUS scholarships and higher education. They also provide a basis for the Civil Society Facility which combines support from both the national and multi-beneficiary IPA programmes. Institution-building for the Western Balkans, Turkey and Iceland is supported via the TAIEX instrument, and allocations are made for audits and evaluation of regional and national programmes, as well as for information and communication activities. Investment needs for small and medium size enterprises, energy efficiency and infrastructure development, delivered in close collaboration with the European Investment Bank and other International Financial Institutions (IFIs), will continue to be supported with a substantial part of the regional and horizontal allocation. This support will be coordinated under the Western Balkan Investment Framework, set up at the end of 2009 to enhance coordination and cooperation among donors and IFIs actively engaged in the Western Balkans. From 2010, part of component II, covering the participation of countries in ERDF "Mediterranean" and "South-East Europe" trans-national cooperation programmes, is also implemented on a multi-beneficiary basis for ease of implementation.
