The area of transnational and interregional co-operation will continue to be supported in this Programme. This will occur on a cross-programme basis involving a variety of activities rather than being a stand alone Priority.

Transnational areas for potential co-operation which could deliver mutual benefits will be explored. These may include:

• Sharing of experiences
• Specific research and analysis.
• Capacity building among participants and organisations.
• Areas where joint approaches should be developed.
• Exploration of best practice.
