The Technical Support Instrument is the European Commission’s key tool for supporting Member States in designing and implementing growth-enhancing and inclusive reforms. From healthcare, to sound public finances, from the digitalisation of education and public services, to strengthening the business environment and the financial sector, the Technical Support Instrument supports EU Member States with their reform agenda.
Policy areas
We provide support to reforms in a wide range of policy areas, such as climate action, digital transition and health.
Public Administration and Governance coordination
Strong institutions and high quality public administrations in Member States are crucial for delivering on EU objectives.
Our projects
We have implemented over 1500 reform support projects in all 27 Member States.
Events
On 26 March 2024, at 11h00 CET, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira will present the new set of reforms that the Commission will be supporting in all 27 Member States through the Technical Support Instrument.
The new round of reform projects will contribute to improve public services, foster competitiveness towards a net-zero economy and to ensure local and regional development.
The TSI press conference will take place in the European Commission Berlaymont building, and will be livestreamed on EbS.
Project in the spotlight
On a regular basis, the European Commission chooses a project to be its ‘project in the spotlight’. The featured projects, from different policy areas and in different countries, are selected on the basis of effective implementation, promising results on the ground as well as a potential to be replicated across the EU. In this way, the Commission seeks to encourage best practices.
Development of a National Coastal Protection for the Maltese Islands

Throughout the project development that will take 24 months, the engagement of stakeholders and communication activities will take a prominent role to facilitate the need for an holistic and integrative process. It is expected that this action will allow the Maltese Authorities to take up the necessary measures to ensure sustainability of coastal functions and activities in the entire Maltese Islands coastline.
