Summary
This report examines European Union sources of funding for airport infrastructure projects in Central and Eastern Europe. From May 2004 the eight Central and East European countries set to join the European Union will be able to benefit from the full range of EU infrastructure funding possibilities including the Structural and Cohesion Funds, and the Interreg and Trans-European Transport Network initiatives. The report explains several grant programs as well as the work of the EIB and gives specific examples of how these resources have been used to finance airport infrastructure related projects.
