Operations of Strategic Importance of the PR FESR 2021\u20132027: Communication Obligations<\/strong>
\nNew communication arrangements apply to projects co-financed by EU funds in the 2021\u20132027<\/strong> cycle.
\nBy means of a circular<\/strong> issued by the Coordinating Authority of the Managing Authority<\/strong> of the PR FESR Sicilia<\/strong>, the Sicilian Region summarised the innovations introduced by the European Union<\/strong> to increase the visibility of interventions with a significant impact on territorial development and, at the same time, incorporated the updated version of the specific national guidelines<\/strong>.
\nThe starting point is Regulation (EU) 2021\/1060<\/strong>, which introduced into the programming of EU resources the so-called \u201cOperazioni di importanza strategica (OSI)\u201d<\/strong>: interventions that make a significant contribution to achieving a programme\u2019s objectives and are therefore subject to specific communication<\/strong> and monitoring<\/strong> measures.
\nThe new rules require specific steps to ensure the visibility<\/strong> of EU support: for OSI<\/strong>, it is, among other things, the responsibility of beneficiaries<\/strong> and of bodies implementing financial instruments<\/strong> to organise an event or an appropriate communication activity<\/strong>, involving the European Commission<\/strong> and the Managing Authority<\/strong> of the Programme in good time.
\nThese provisions also apply to all interventions whose total cost exceeds EUR 10 million<\/strong> (with the exception of Technical Assistance<\/strong> operations) and to others specifically identified for their particular ability to make a significant contribution to the Programme\u2019s objectives.
\nAppendix 3<\/strong> of the PR FESR Sicilia 2021\u20132027<\/strong> identifies five OSI<\/strong>: \u201cSupport for research infrastructures\u201d (Priority 1, Specific Objective 1.1); \u201cMeasures to improve the Integrated Water Service\u201d (Priority 2, Specific Objective 2.5); \u201cMeasures to improve accessibility to Inner Areas\u201d (Priority 3, Specific Objective 3.2); \u201cRevitalisation of places of culture and public spaces for social inclusion and innovation\u201d (Priority 5, Specific Objective 4.6); and \u201cPreparation of territorial strategies\u201d (definition process for 9 Functional Urban Areas<\/strong> and 11 Inner Areas<\/strong>, Priority 6, Specific Objective 5.1\/2).
\nThe communication event or activity may take various forms. By way of example, these include opening\/closing events<\/strong>, communication campaigns<\/strong>, press conferences<\/strong> or site visits by journalists<\/strong>, citizen-facing initiatives<\/strong> (guided tours, visits to laboratories or infrastructures), and experience-based initiatives<\/strong> that offer a unique insight into the project (exhibitions, theatre performances, storytelling events). Beneficiaries are encouraged to use communication approaches that work well locally and are suited to the specific project.
\nIn essence, the event or activity should serve as an opportunity to make the results<\/strong> achieved through the project visible to the public, to show positive changes<\/strong> for the territory, and to highlight the relevance of the intervention in relation to the Specific Objective<\/strong> of the Programme. The aim is to leverage the communication potential of emblematic projects to help citizens understand the EU\u2019s role<\/strong> in territorial development, thereby increasing awareness of the benefits generated by the PR FESR Sicilia 2021\u20132027<\/strong>.
\nThe circular of the Department of Programming (No. 2198 of 14 February 2025<\/strong>, amending and supplementing circulars No. 2724<\/strong> and No. 8158<\/strong> of 2024) is accompanied by a methodological note<\/strong> and refers to the guidelines (\u201cLG-COM OSI 2.0 \u2013 November 2024\u201d<\/strong>) issued by the Department for Cohesion Policies (DpCoes)<\/strong> of the Presidency of the Council<\/strong>, which in turn are based on the operational toolbox<\/strong> previously produced by the European Commission<\/strong> (\u201cCommunicating Operations of Strategic Importance in 2021\u20132027 \u2013 A practical toolbox<\/strong>\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
