The main instruments are Phare and SAPARD. Investment for upgrading Border Inspection Posts are in many cases assisted through funding from the Phare programme. Financing for upgrading (adapting, rebuilding or creating) plants processing and marketing meat, dairy, fish and other agricultural products is provided through SAPARD programmes. Almost a billion Euros have been earmarked for this. BSE testing in the new Member States is also co-financed under the Phare programme and most of the new Member States are making use of this.
