Interreg V-A Estonia-Latvia programme 2014-2020

The Estonia-Latvia programme is one of the 60 cross-border cooperation programmes operating along EU internal borders. The programme is funded under the goal of the European Territorial Cooperation, better known as Interreg, and aims at strengthening cooperation among regions across the borders of Estonia and Latvia. 36.27 million euros was available from the European Regional Development Fund for funding cooperation projects between Estonian and Latvian organizations. The Estonia-Latvia programme is a continuation of the 2007-2013 cross-border cooperation programme.

The programme document was approved by the European Commission on 4 December 2015 and has been changed twice since. The most recent changes in 2020 mainly concern the priority 2: the new SO 2.4 - the creation of the harmonized geodetic reference system was introduced, and unused funds from other priorities were allocated to this priority.
