The FLAG and the LAG are run by the same organization, with the same public/private partnership, and cover the same area. This organization has an overarching strategy for EAFRD CLLD (LEADER) and EMFF CLLD, as well as for ERDF investments through an ITI (integrated territorial investments). The FLAG has a special “commission” which assesses CLLD projects funded by the EMFF.
The FLAG brings together a number of different local, county and regional public bodies, along with seven different fishing and aquaculture organisations and five orgnanisations involved in training, heritage and/or environmental conservation.
