PromSTAP Interreg IIIC Initiative for an RFO to promote the "Stable to table" approach in European Regional development Download of the Technical Reports The new General EU Food Law sets the frame for food production in member states and beyond. However, it is not the task of national but of regional authorities and local government structures to enforce it throughout Europe:
Both tasks which require an interregional
co-operation of public regional authorities and affiliated
organisations in this field are not supported by the Common Agriculture
Policy. The overall objective of the RFO is to promote the "
innovation, implementation and internationalisation" of the stable to
table approach (PromSTAP) as a way to improve the effectiveness of
regions' policies and instruments for regional development and cohesion
through exchange of experience and intensive co-operation in the field
of food safety and quality. The project idea derives from ongoing
InterregIIIA activities of public and private actors from the food
sector in NL-DE border regions that have revealed considerable
potential for improving project based co-operation between European
regions in food safety and quality. Participating regions from DK, F,
NL, I, BU, CH and DE share the importance of innovative and safe food
production competeting jointly on the world food markets. PromSTAP will
benefit from well established regional partnerships between private and
public actors. Partners involved have experience in interregional
co-operations or Structural Funds financed operations. Three overall
thematic priorities have been identified for the project:
Actors from the partner regions will be invited
within an "open call for proposals" to apply for project funds.
Supported by the results of competitively selected sub-projects (at
least17 sub-projects) the partners will jointly elaborate new policy
approaches and best practice guidelines adaptable to the economic,
administrative and legislative differences in different EU regions. To
ensure an efficient knowledge transfer the “Information and Integration
hall” develops best practice guidelines, manuals and an open web-based
information platform documenting project results and arranges meetings
to strengthen the interregional co-operation. It is expected that
PromSTAP will develop solutions that aid for the future design of
regional structural fund programmes.
