The operative programs are the programming documents approved by the European Commission to develop and specify a development strategy to be co-financed with European Funds, comprising a coherent set of priority phases of multi-annual measures. A regional operative program is an operative program applied to a specific region, whose financing falls to a single Fund, with the exception already mentioned. Multi-regional or sectored operative programs also exist, referring to all of the Spanish regions or to all of the Convergence, Phasing-out and Phasing-in regions.
