ec_taiexThe cooperation between the SEEHN and the EC TAIEX Instrument took new positive dimensions in 2014. Based on a well prepared analysis of the situation in 2012-2013, the needs and challenges of the SEEHN regional priorities and the concepts, types of support and procedures of the EC TAIEX, the SEEHN called the Directors of the RHDC to put forward their proposals for multicountry regional events in 2014 for consideration and approval by the SEEHN Ex Com and for corporate application to EC TAIEX.

As a result of this well coordinated action and the precise selection, made by the Ex Com based on well selected criteria in advance, EC TAIEX approved all 10 proposals for 2014.

This is an unprecedented breakthrough, as a result of the excellent work in 2013 with concrete outcomes and follow up on one side, as well as the improved planning on the other.

Nevertheless there is still some room for improvement which was agreed by the meeting between delegations of the SEEHN and the EC TAIEX and EC DG SANCO on 28 April 2014 at the EC DG SANCO offices in Brussels.
