Structural Funds Projects of Metsähallitus
The aim of the European Union's regional and structural policy is to reduce the regional differences within the European Union by giving support to the least developed areas. The resources of the structural funds will be focused on the realisation of the target programme of the member states. This financing can be used to carry out various kinds of environmental projects.
Apart from the target programmes, the structural funds render financing to so-called community initiatives which aim at resolving problems on the European scale. It is a transboundary cooperation programme whose aim it is to speed up the European integration.
The maximum financing from the structural funds can be 50 per cent of the project costs. The remainder is national financing.
