'More than money: maximising the true value of EU funds'

The Local Government Association publication 'More than money: maximising the true value of EU funds' focuses on six ways in which EU Regional policy offers distinct added-value over domestic programmes:
1. financing projects that would not otherwise exist
2. stable seven-year programming period
3. developing new multi-sectoral, multi-level partnerships
4. additional private and public sector match funding
5. 'space' for policy innovation
6. sharing knowledge across boundaries
