PRESS RELEASE BY THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIAT FOR EUROPEAN FUNDS
Over €4 million in EU funds have been earmarked to
support ten (10) projects to foster capacity building and policy reforms within
the Maltese public administration.
Parliamentary Secretary for
European Funds Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi said that the ten successful projects
cover a variety of policy areas and sectors, including clean mobility,
renovation, healthcare, tourism, sustainable finance, combatting human
trafficking and sustainable development, amongst others.
Parliamentary Secretary Zrinzo
Azzopardi said that, “the TSI instrument has continued
to actively support the reform process across various sectors in Malta, thus
complementing national policies and EU investments. The instrument continues to
entice interest amongst national bodies with this year’s call representing a
higher number of selected projects and earmarked support by the European
Commission than the first call that was launched last year.” He held that the
areas of support under the TSI aim to build on the successful implementation of
initiatives previously supported under the SRSP programme and the first call
under the TSI.
Parliamentary Secretary Zrinzo
Azzopardi held that the areas of support under the TSI will contribute to other
European-wide commitments such as the green and digital transitions, and
Sustainable Development Goals. This will enable Malta to further advance in its
commitments towards an improved environment, a more digitalised society as well
as improved services for businesses and citizens alike.
