The co-operation programme applies for the 2025–2030 period, which in turn is divided into two, three-year periods, each with their own independent work plan, for 2025–2027 and 2028–2030 respectively.
An evaluation will be carried out in the middle of the period. The Council of Ministers can choose to make adjustments to the co-operation programme on the basis of this evaluation, and it can also be used to provide input on how the work plan for the last period should be formulated.
