The present Financing Memorandum is also the first to introduce the multi-annual strategic planning approach in the framework of the Phare programme. To this end the Bulgarian administration has developed the Multi-annual Programming Document that outlines the major priorities for the period 2004-2006 under which financial support may be requested until the date of accession. Under the National Phare Program 2004 – Part II financial support will be secured under a project for increasing the competitiveness of Bulgarian enterprises.
