The Sectoral Operational Programme “Technical Assistance and System Actions” (SOP ATAS) intends to improve the institutional performance of Public Governments, enhance the implementation process of Operational Programmes and actions co-financed by Structural Funds. Such a task implies technical assistance and system actions to tutor many Governments, both local and regional, in implementing their activities with the support of standard models and guidelines, analysis and surveys, shared indicators and databases, for the exchange of best practices among public Governments and assistance to the partnership.
Since the horizontal character of the Technical Assistance OP, the Managing Authority is the same as for the OB.1 CSF: the Department for Development and Cohesion Policies (Directorate General for Policies of Community Structural Funds) of the
Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Following the 2004 mid-term review of 2000-2006 CSF for the Ob.1, pursuant to the Art. 14, com.2 of EC Regulation 1260/99 containing the general rules on Structural Funds, the text of SOP ATAS was also reviewed.
