(ANSA) - ANCONA, JAN 23 - Four drivers to develop the Adriatic Ionian macro-region. The first meeting of the Governing Board, which started the region's implementation, produced the pyramid scheme of the future governance and established an agenda for the forthcoming European Macro-Region, which will be the third one after the Baltic and the Danube. ''A calendar for the ' Thematic steering groups' on the four pillars (blue economy, environmental quality, infrastructure, attractiveness) of the Eusair has been defined - secretary general of the Adriatic Ionian Region Fabio Pigliapoco explained - and these working groups will be the AIMR drivers''. In February they will begin to define the guidelines for submitting and evaluating all the projects and they will also start to identify the right sources of funding for each single pillar. The groups will be composed of - for each Member State - a representative of the Foreign Ministry and a representative of the different ministries managing the specific funds. The first analysis of the results will take place in Croatia after the summer, since that country will take over the presidency of the AII by the end of May. ''The Tsg are on the third level of the governance pyramid scheme. At the top you find the Foreign Affairs ministers of the eight countries which are members of the AIMR, gathered in the Adriatic Ionian Council, while the co-presidency is entrusted to the European Commission and the presidency of the AII, now led by Bosnia-Herzegovina. Then comes the Governing Board, the 'control room' which includes the European Commission, Intergroup within the Committee of the Regions, Adriatic Ionian Initiative, Adrion Programme managing authority, European Economic and Social Committee, the Eusair coordinators from the eight member countries and for the four pillars. At the base of the pyramid, there will be the stakeholders' platform, which will aim to involve representatives of civil organizations, and whose structure and headquarters are still under debate.
