SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: – Protection and improvement of water resources
– Improvement of waste management and soil protection
– Preservation of biodiversity and nature protection
PRIORITY AXES
PRIORITY AXIS 1: Improvement and development of water and wastewater infrastructure in settlements with over 2000 PE and in settlements below 2000 PE within urban agglomeration areas
Budget: 1 284 000 000 EUR
Beneficiaries: municipal administrations and river basin management directorates
PRIORITY AXES
PRIORITY AXIS 2: Improvement and development of waste treatment infrastructure
Budget: 367 million EUR
