In May 2007, all the regional administrations, together with the General State Administration, formed the Communication Network GERIP (Spanish Group of Information and Publicity Authorities). This network comprises all the information and publicity officers of all the Intermediate Bodies, the heads of line for the management of the European Funds in each Regional Administration and the communication officers appointed by the managing authorities of the various Funds (ERDF, European Regional Development Fund).
The communication strategy has been designed in this network and is reflected, with its specific characteristics, in each of the Communication Plans presented by the Spanish state to the European Commission.
