For the 10 Member States which joined the Union in 2004 as well as Romania and Bulgaria which joined in 2007, the EIB, the European Commission, the EBRD and the KfW have launched a joint initiative to provide technical support for project preparation in the case of large infrastructure schemes which receive finance from the Structural and Cohesion Funds. More information on JASPERS (Joint Assistance to Support Projects in the European Regions) can be found on the dedicated website: http://www.jaspers-europa-info.org/
After an impressive surge in activity in 2008, JASPERS continued to expand its activities on behalf of the twelve beneficiary EU Member States in the first nine months of 2009. Between January and September 2009, JASPERS completed 72 assignments. Since 2006, the year in which it started operations, JASPERS has completed 179 assignments and as of 30 September 2009, there were 445 active assignments in progress.
JASPERS is a technical support facility for twelve EU Member States designed to help them better prepare projects proposed for EU Fund financing.
