  2. LAGs in Swedenand cooperation modalities • 63 LAGs in Sweden (9 million inhabitants) • All LAGs are non-profit organisations • LAGs have to be project owner – but practical implementation can be done by organisations or other actors in the area. • Example: Local Food For Local Developement

  3. Funding for cooperation • ”The cooperation provision” The total national cooperation budget is distributed on the 63 LAGs = no national budget to apply from. • 25% of the coopartaion provision budget is allowed for preparatory step in cooperation. • ”Umbrella – projects” enabels preparations, study-visits etc

  4. Selection of cooperation projects • Same rules as for other Leader projects: • LAG decides along with their strategies -> the Country Administrative Board confirm decision. • Difficulties/consequences from the Swedish angle: • Other countries have to apply from national cooperation budget, which can delay the start of the transnational projects..

  5. Network cheques • ”Network cheques” – extra funding from the Swedish Rural Network • Up to 50 000 SEK (approx. 5000 EUR) for preparatory step in cooperation / LAG • Ended in december 2011 • Example: Leader West Småland made study visit to France to investigate possible cooperation in sustainable developement, youth and entrepreneurship
