It has been designed to build up strong, multinational partnerships among regional actors from fifteen regions in four old and two new member states. The programme grew out a 10-year multilateral co-operation between the partners of the ?New Hanse Interregio (NHI) – the northern Dutch Provinces of Groningen, Drenthe, Fryslân, Overijssel and the German states of Niedersachsen and Bremen, who in 2002 decided to continue their co-operation and develop a Regional Framework Operation (RFO), called Hanse Passage. The Dutch Province of Groningen is the Lead Participant of the Hanse Passage Programme. The regions of the Hanse Passage partnership face similar problems: how to adapt regional policies, how to boost economically their regions. At the same time they are extremely willing to identify the most effective ways and best practices that will help them one the one hand address their own deficits, and on the other, benefit from the changing conditions of the growing EU.
