In May 2007, the ERDF and Cohesion Fund management authorities announced the start-up of the GRECO-AGE Communication Network through its Communications manager. Initially, this network only had the Management Bodies of these Funds from the General State Administration. These Organisms are the ones which manage those of AGE's actions which are part-financed with these Funds, although they may fall under either Regional Operational Programmes or Multi-regional Programmes.
As a result, the Communication measures that these Organisms must put into practice during the programming period will be reflected in the Communication Plans of the Operational Programmes in which they are involved. This Network was later opened up to participation by Local Governments taking part in any of the Operational Programmes and who, as such, are beneficiaries of any of these Funds between 2007 and 2013.
