In an effort to protect the environment and conserve nature, Armenia intends to set up a pilot project involving a patented resource recovery facility for rubbish and organic waste which will also separate off recyclable raw materials. The facility will also generate enough electricity to supply approximately 30 000 households.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 laying down general provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument, EUR 11 181 000 000 is available for such projects over the programming period ending in 2013.

1. Has this funding now been exhausted?

2. Will funding for such projects be continued in the 2014‐2020 programming period?
