Article 39 Selection of operations

Operations under cross-border cooperation programmes shall be selected by the JMC.

The JMC may set up a steering committee acting under its responsibility for the selection of operations.

Selected operations shall involve beneficiaries from at least two participating countries, at least one of which shall be from a Member State. An operation may be implemented in a single participating country, provided that cross-border impacts and benefits are identified.

Beneficiaries shall cooperate in the development and implementation of operations. In addition, they shall cooperate in either the staffing or the financing of operations.
