Often isolated, and with generally poorer access to public services, the EU's border regions face a unique set of challenges. This has been recognised under Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which states that particular attention should be paid to cross border regions when developing action to strengthen the EU's economic, social and territorial cohesion. Yet while the EU has provided significant support for these regions over the years, particularly within the framework ...

En una propuesta de 2018 sobre un mecanismo transfronterizo europeo se abordaban retos específicos para las regiones fronterizas de la UE, pero los avances no cuajaron debido a los desacuerdos en el seno del Consejo.

The study identifies three policy options: status quo, soft-law measures, and adopting a new instrument (ECBM ...

The European integration process has redefined the map of Europe, changing the fortunes of Europe's border regions from peripheral areas to poles of potential growth.

An EGTC enables entities from two or more Member States to work together under a common structure with legal personality. Its objective is to facilitate and promote cross-border, transnational and inter-regional ...
