 ISPA Programme is one of the three pre-accession instruments of the European Union along with PHARE and SAPARD programmes. ISPA was established as part of Agenda 2000 of EU and aims at supporting the preparation of the candidate-countries for accession in the Union, in the area of Environment and Transport. Programming on ISPA is performed on the basis of the Accession Partnership and two national strategic documents: ISPA Sector Strategy for Environment and ISPA Sector Strategy for Transport. The main objectives of ISPA Programme are three:
- To get the candidate-countries acquainted with the policies and procedures of EU;
- To assist the candidate-countries in reaching EU standards in Environment protection;
- To expand and link the national transport infrastructures of the candidate-countries and provide for their integration to the trans-European transport networks
