Paweł Samecki, the European Commissioner for Regional Policy, will announce on 1 December 2009 details of the European Union's major contribution in support of the fight against organised crime in southern Italy. The EU cohesion policy will invest €64 million on re-developing property seized from the mafia in the 2007-2013 period. This follows a successful pilot project funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which contributed €11 million for the conversion of 50 former mafia properties into educational, agri-tourism or other legal business ventures. |
