IMBC IPA T¿rkiye AAP 2022 Contract PUPA (Participation in Union Programmes and Agencies) Contract related to: IMBC IPA T¿rkiye AAP 2022 Contract PUPA (Participation in Union Programmes and Agencies) - Participation in EU programmes and agencies is an important element covered under Window 2: Good governance, European Union (EU) acquis alignment, good neighbourly relations and strategic communication of the IPA III Programming Framework. Through its participation in the EU programmes and agencies, Turkey has the opportunity to: (i) build knowledge and capacities of the different stakeholders dealing with European issues; (ii) actively participate in the implementation of EU policies; and (iii) intensify international cooperation and initiate mobility in relation to EU countries, thus becoming more deeply involved in the EU integration process. Participation in the EU programmes and agencies encourages the active involvement of public and private institutions, small and medium-sized enterprises, NGOs, civil society organisations (CSOs) and universities to benefit from the EU accession process. The European Commission invites Turkey to participate in as many EU programmes and agencies as possible in line with its national priorities and goals. For the 2021-2027 period, Tukey continues to participate in Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps (ESC), Civil Protection Mechanism, European Environmental Agency (EEA) and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). The association negotiations for Customs, Fiscalis, Single Market and Digital Europe programmes are still ongoing. Turkey expects to conclude association negotiations and sign the agreements in course of 2022 and be able to participate on these programmes retroactively as of 1 January 2022. Moreover, Turkey expects to participate in Creative Europe, Space, InvestEU and a few more agencies by January 2023. Thereby, financial contribution for participation in the programmes, the so-called, ¿entry ticket¿, will incrementally increase in the upcoming years.&nbsp;In this regard, this Action Document (AD) lays out the need for EU support for Turkey¿s participation in the EU programmes and agencies in the form of co-financing of the entry tickets to be paid by Turkey in 2022 and 2023..
