(e)	The group may invite to its meetings, as appropriate, promoters of eligible projects, representatives of third countries involved in eligible projects and any other relevant stakeholders.

(f)	On the basis of the evaluation results, the group shall agree on a draft list of cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy, to be adopted in accordance with point (g).

(g)

The Commission shall adopt the final list of selected cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy by delegated act on the basis of a draft list referred to in point (f) and taking into account point (i). The Commission shall also publish on its website the list of selected cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy. That list shall be reviewed as necessary and at least every two years.

(h)	The group shall monitor the implementation of the projects on the final list and make recommendations on how to overcome possible delays in their implementation. For this purpose, project promoters of the selected projects shall provide information on the implementation of their projects.

(i)	The Commission shall, when selecting the cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy, aim to ensure an appropriate geographical balance in the selection of such projects. Regional groupings may be used for the selection of projects.

(j)	A project shall not be selected as a cross-border project in the field of renewable energy, or, if selected, shall have such status withdrawn, if information which was a determining factor in the evaluation, was incorrect, or if the project does not comply with Union law.

PART V

DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS OF COMMON INTEREST

Gigabit connectivity, including 5G systems and other state-of-the-art connectivity, for socioeconomic drivers.

Actions shall be prioritised taking into account the function of the socioeconomic drivers, the relevance of the digital services and applications enabled by providing the underlying connectivity, and the potential socioeconomic benefits to citizens, business and local communities, including the additional area coverage generated in terms of households. The available budget shall be allocated in a geographically balanced manner across Member States.

Priority shall be given to actions contributing to Gigabit connectivity, including 5G systems and other state-of-the-art connectivity, for:

(a)	hospitals and medicals centres, in line with the efforts to digitalise the healthcare system, with a view to increasing the well-being of Union citizens and changing the way health and care services are delivered to patients;

(b)	education and research centres, in the context of the efforts to facilitate the use, inter alia, of high-speed computing, cloud applications and big data, close digital divides and to innovate in education systems, to improve learning outcomes, enhance equity and improve efficiency;
