2.2. To complement information provided in section 5, do you envisage
any further mechanisms to secure the commitment of the relevant Managing
Authorities (e.g. Memorandum of Understanding)
As can be seen from the signed Letters of Intent the associated Managing Authorities
have already committed themselves to contribute to the HerO project activities
and to facilitate the desired ‘two way bridge’ in a promising way.
Moreover and in order to further alleviate active involvement of the MA institutions
the Hero project has reserved a solid amount of budget dedicated to allow presence
of the MAs in the major events and debates within the network. All associated
Managing Authorities will be invited to the HerO project meetings and conferences
in order to participate at the discussions and get familiar with the EC initiative’s
objectives and their expected role. On this occasion the MAs will also
benefit from the exchange with other Managing Authorities in Europe.
The planned presence of representatives from EC DG REGIO or other European
Commission delegates within the network and the corresponding major events will
of course have a strong effect on the commitment of the MAs.
According to their role as responsible Managing Authority for the regional OPs all
associated MAs are invited to be involved in the development of the strategy paper
on the topic “Support of historic urban landscapes via EU structural funds”
which is aimed to serve as a basis for discussion for the OP funding period 2014
and beyond.
