The “Partnership Agreements” (PAs) are negotiated between the European Commission and Member States on investment priorities covering the ESI Funds and setting out how EU investments support smart, sustainable and inclusive growth by focusing on key advantages and important growth sectors in regions and Member States. Member States submit their Partnership Agreements to the Commission within 4 months from the entry into force of the Regulation. The Commission shall in turn make observations within 3 months of the date of submission of the PA and shall adopt the Agreement no later than 4 months from its submission, provided that the Member State has adequately taken into account the observations made by the Commission. Operational Programmes can be approved only once the Partnership Agreement has been adopted.
