Yesterday we were hosted and received by Ignacio Sánchez, from @miteco together with Ana Díaz of Innovation of the @ICE in a meeting where we showed our interest in participating in an upcoming innovative project based in cogeneration of energy, within the CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. Excellent organization of the event, and so productive exchange at the info day. JCyL motivating, supporting the industrial fabric of the community.

Castile and Leon | Territorial Delegation of León

Today those responsible for the Junta de Castilla y León, the company TRAGSA and the management of the works held by SOMACYL have met to sign the certificate of verification of the layout in the locations of the works for the environmental restoration of the areas affected by the energy transition within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, corresponding to three projects in degraded areas due to coal mining.

These actions, financed with European funds within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan with a global investment of 70.6 million euros, will restore the Gran Corta de Fabero, Torre del Bierzo-Villagatón, and Casares and Ladil- Minas de Bierzo Alto in Igueña, with an area to recover of more than 1,000 hectares.

The term of execution of the works will be 36 months, with the commitment to create at least 180 jobs, from among the mining surpluses, the unemployed and the population of the mining regions.

The work will be carried out by order of its own means by the Empresa de Transformación Agraria, SASME, MP (TRAGSA), while the management of the works has agreed to commission the Infrastructure and Environment Society of Castilla y León ( SOMACYL), which has appointed a Mining Engineer, a Health and Safety Coordinator, a Forest Technical Engineer and a Topographer, for control and decision-making.

The restoration will include the management of waste from the extractive industries and the protection and rehabilitation of the space affected by mining activities and establishes the commitment to create annual jobs for the works, with an indication of the contracts that are produced from mining surpluses (both direct and auxiliary companies) registered in the ITJ job bank, unemployed and population of the mining districts of León and Palencia.

The projects will be carried out with a direct grant from the Institute for the Just Transition to the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León of 67,925,929.77 euros, through the Recovery, Transform

Potential finance from this??

Who should be involved? The key role of ‘organisations responsible for policy’
As a general rule, the partnership should contribute to an efficient implementation of the project and
reflect its objectives.
Since Interreg Europe is a thematic programme, partners must first demonstrate their competence and
experience in the issue addressed by the project (e.g. innovation, economic development, low-carbon
economy, environment). This is important because the partners are the primary source of
experiences and knowledge exchanged within the project. This is also the reason why the
composition of the partnership is a key success factor for the implementation of the project. Partner
regions should be selected on the basis of the thematic issue addressed by the project and on their
capacity to contribute to but also benefit from the cooperation. The rationale behind the choice of the
partners should in principle be clear from the description provided in section B.2 (‘Policy instrument and
territorial context’) of the application form.
Organisations responsible for policies are the main target group of the programme. These policymakers
can be national, regional and local authorities as well as other organisations in charge of defining and
implementing regional policy instruments. The participation of these competent authorities contributes
to maximising the impact of the project on regional and local policies across the EU. The involvement
of authorities responsible for the policy instruments addressed by the project is therefore a prerequisite. If they cannot be directly involved, a letter of support from these relevant authorities must be
submitted with the expectation that they will participate in the regional stakeholder groups. It should be
noted that, for Structural Funds programmes in certain countries, the direct participation of the
Managing Authorities / Intermediate Bodies may be more difficult due to their particular role and task.
Project applicants should refer to the ‘In Your Country’ page on the programme website for more
information

Projects financed under Interreg Europe need to explain the innovative character of their expected
results. It is clear that this notion of ‘innovative character’ is relative: what is common practice for large
public authorities or in a certain European context may be very innovative for smaller public authorities
or in another type of context (and vice versa). The particular focus of Interreg Europe on improving
2014-2020 Structural Funds should also contribute to demonstrating this innovative character.
Nevertheless, it is recommended that, before developing a project idea, applicants check, on the
different programmes’ websites, the kind of interregional cooperation projects that were already
financed (http://www.interreg4c.eu) or that are currently supported (http://www.interregeurope.eu).
Ideally, they should make sure that their own project and its expected achievements will be of addedvalue compared to these past or existing initiatives.
The issue of a project’s added-value is particularly important for follow-up projects (i.e. partnerships that
were supported under previous EU programmes such as European Territorial Cooperation
programmes). These projects need to clearly demonstrate how they will go beyond their past
cooperation. This added-value can particularly be reflected in the following project features:
? the proposed partnership,
? the topic tackled,
? the focus on Structural Funds programmes.
4.3.4 Durability of the project’s results
One of the basic requirements of any public funded project is to demonstrate at the application stage
that the lessons learnt from the project will not be lost at the end of the funding period.
The approach of Interreg Europe is innovative in this regard due to its phase 2, which has been
introduced for all projects. This phase will allow for better insight into the way the lessons learnt from
the cooperation are implemented in the different partner areas.
The way applicants envisage how the project will influence regional policy instruments has to be
explained at the application stage. In particular, if the expected improvement of policies requires
dedicated funding, applicants should clarify how they will ensure such funding will be made available.
In Interreg Europe, the expected results of projects are by essence durable since they relate to the
integration of the lesson learnt from the project into the relevant policy instruments of the participating
regions. The project’s contribution to the work of the Platform can also contribute to the durability of the
project’s results.
