Large Scale Projects

The Joint Monitoring Committee in agreement with the European Commission decided on its 2nd meeting on 5 March 2009 that in case of Priority 3 of the Joint Operational Programme direct award procedure will be applied for the identification and selection of Large Scale Projects.
Improvement of the border-crossing transport infrastructure and equipments at border controls is exclusively of state competence, and such projects require ex-ante agreements between the concerned countries. Therefore the almost 21 million EUR ENPI allocation available for the given Priority will be shared equally among the Ukrainian-Hungarian, Ukrainian-Slovak and Ukrainian-Romanian borders.
To identify large-scale projects a special Joint Task Force has been set up of all relevant stakeholders and institutions (Border Guard Services, Customs etc.) involved in border crossing development to see the justification of special management of border crossing infrastructure development and to identify most important projects worth to be financed from Priority 3.
 

Currently bilateral negotiations are taking place between Ukraine and each Member State in order to identify large-scale projects.

1. Development of Beregsurány-Luzhanka road Border Crossing Point (BCP)
2. Establishment of Záhony Common Contact Point - a “consultative centre” at the “Záhony-Chop” CBC point
3. Development of Tiszabecs-Vylok BCP - in order to make easier the passport control of the tourists canoeing or kayaking on the river Tisza.
