Summary:

When the European Council adopted the Treaty on European Union signed in Maastricht, it also decided to set up a new instrument, the Cohesion Fund, which was intended to strengthen economic and social cohesion within the Community.

This Fund, which has over ECU 15.6 billion to commit in 1993-99, contributes to projects in the fields of theĀ  environment and trans-European transport networks. It provides assistance in the four countries whose per capita GNP is less than 90 % of the Community average: Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.

The selection of examples presented below gives an indication of the variety and quality of the projects partfinanced by the Cohesion Fund, and of their impact on the development of economic activities and job creation in the countries concerned
