Debate

The President of the Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., Mr Štefan Simončič, will take part in a debate on “How Europe helps the regions affected”. The topic of the debate will be how the European Union enables cohesion funds to be allocated to the affected regions.

The specific issues to be addressed are:

  • How can Slovenia use the unused funds from the 2014-2020 programming period, currently available through the Investment Initiative, to respond to coronavirus?
  • How to use the possibility of 100% co-financing from the EU budget in the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021?
  • How can cohesion projects help to overcome the crisis (support for health systems, long-term care, SMEs, the labour market and other vulnerable parts of the economy)?

They will be with us:

  • Franc Bogovič MEP (EPP),
  • Mr. Monika Kirbiš Rojs, State Secretary, Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy,
  • Dr Zoran Stančič, Head of the European Commission Representation in Slovenia.
