In this section you can find the indications about the affixing of logos and emblems on the information and publicity material produced by the beneficiaries of the financed project  in the frame of the OP Italia-Malta 2007-2013.

The OP Italia-Malta 2007-2013 has three different pay-offs to be used depending on the beneficiaries of the information and publicity measures. In details:

• “Investing in your future”: to be used for the measures aimed at potential beneficiaries;
• “Italy-Malta: a sea of opportunity for your future”: to be used for the measures aimed at social and economic bodies, the public belonging to the programme area, other involved authority.
• “Italy-Malta: European Union close to Mediterranean”: to be used for the measures aimed at educational institutes, the European Commission, information operators.
