- To ensure that environmental consequences of INTERREG programmes and projects are properly identified and assessed.
- To promote a more transparent planning of policies, plans and programmes and sustainable development through the application of SEA.

- A tool box for the application of SEA to INTERREG programmes and projects.
- A set of training and dissemination initiatives.
