1. Article 49(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060[1], laying down common provisions for the EU shared management funds, requires managing authorities to publish at least three times a year a timetable of the planned calls for proposals, in either the national website portals or in their respective programme-specific websites. The Spanish authorities have informed the Commission that the setting-up of these websites is delayed, but information of the calls referred to by the Honourable Member can be found in the websites of the bodies of the regional governments that are responsible thereof. The Commission is closely monitoring the situation to ensure the websites referred to in the above-mentioned Article 49(2) are swiftly completed and available to the public.
2. The Spanish Just Transition Fund programme for 2021-2027 was adopted in December 2022 and is still at its first stages of implementation. Accordingly, calls are still under preparation in different regions. The Commission is closely working with the Spanish authorities to provide assistance in accelerating implementation, especially in the context of the monitoring committee of this funding programme, where municipalities are represented.
