Project "Creation of jobs in Lyaskovets Municipality" of Rumoplast 94 OOD started on 28.02.2023
The project "Creation of jobs in the Municipality of Lyaskovec" is implemented with financial support in the amount of €36,400 provided by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway under the EEA Financial Mechanism. The main goal of the project Creation of jobs in the Municipality of Lyaskovets is to reduce the number of unemployed and inactive persons in the Municipality of Lyaskovets by creating employment at "Rumoplast - 94" OOD. The company will assist in providing accessible information about vacancies and organizing meetings between "Rumoplast - 94" OOD and job seekers in order to create job opportunities, including for disadvantaged people (long-term unemployed, elderly people of pre-retirement age, young people, young mothers, single parents, people with disabilities, low-skilled persons, including representatives of Roma and Turkish minorities).
The EEA Financial Mechanism includes the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway to building a greener, more competitive and more inclusive Europe. It has two main objectives: reducing social and economic inequalities in Europe and strengthening bilateral ties between donor countries and 15 countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic region.
The three donor countries work closely with the EU under the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Donors provided €3.3 billion through time-consecutive grant schemes in the period from 1994 to 2014. For the period 2014-2021, the amount of funding amounts to €1.55 billion. The priorities for the period are:
#1 Innovation, research, education and competitiveness
#2 Social inclusion, youth employment and poverty reduction
#3 Environment, energy, climate change and the low-hydrogen economy
#4 Culture, civil society, good governance and fundamental rights
#5 Justice and Home Affairs
The EEA FMs are jointly financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, with each country's financial contribution proportionate to the country's GDP.
Eligibility criteria for FM funding mirror those for funding from the EU Cohesion Fund, with the funds being allocated to countries where the GNP (Gross National Product) is lower than 90% of the EU average.
