  Regional Development 
 
 The purpose of the Regional Development initiativ es is to facilitate the development of up to 
date regional framework conditions. 
 
 In addition to the Danish Enterprise a nd Construction Authority and the European 
Commission the local/regional authorities plays an important role in the administration and in 
financing the activities.  Activities are thus often funded by a number of sources.  
 For that very reason it is not possible to state the average subsidy level. 
  The legal basis of the initiatives is the Government's Budget Proposal as adopted by the 
Parliament, Trade and Industrial Development Ac t and the Act on administration concerning ERDF & 
ESF subsidies and national Danish co-financing.  
 Almost all of the subsidies provided by Danish sources co-finance ERDF & ESF schemes 
(European Regional Development Fund & European Soci al Fund).  The criteria for funding are thus 
mainly determined by the relevant EU programmes.   
 
 The subsidies are given as grants to individuals , companies, institutions and local authorities. 
 
 It is not possible to state a maximum limit for subsidies for each project as it depends on the 
amount that the companies are willing to contribute and the character of the initiative.  The specific 
conditions which have to be fulfilled for each  project vary from initiative to initiative. 
 
 It is not possible immediately to estimate the bus iness effects of the subsidies, because it is a 
question of horizontal initiatives, which are not restricted to specific industries.

Business Development 
  The general aim of the Trade and Industrial De velopment Act  is to strengthen the trade and 
industrial development in Denmark.  This is pr imarily carried out by developing the general 
framework conditions for the companies. 
  The purpose of the Business Development initiativ es is to facilitate th e establishment of new 
companies, strengthen the development of compet ence and competitiveness in Danish companies. 
 
 The means to achieve these goals are a number of general/horizontal business promoting 
initiatives.  The initiatives cover general activities concerning information; guidance and counselling G/SCM/N/220/EEC/Add.6 
Page 72 
 
 
  aimed at all persons that intend to become entrep reneurs and activities promoting entrepreneurship.  
The initiatives also cover activities conc erning development of competence. 
  Most of the funds are granted to public au thorities, independent private institutions and 
companies providing the services and development activities.  Direct subsidies for individual 
companies own projects only play a very limited role as an instrument. 
 
 The legal basis of the initiatives is the Government's Budget Proposal as adopted by the Parliament and the Trade and Industrial Development Act. 
 
 The period of validity for the individual initia tives differs.  Every year it is considered 
whether/at what level funding should be provided for individual initiatives and schemes.  It is applied 
as a general principle that public funds shall be used as a catalyst for the development of new business 
promoting facilities rather than as a permanent source of finance.  
 It is not possible immediately to estimate the business effects of the subsidies as they 
represent general horizontal initiatives that are not restricted to specific industries.
