Conference “Perspectives of cross-border cooperation in Europe”

31^st of March 2009 at 10,00 am
CoR room JDE 51
Organized in the framework of CzechReg Days in Brussels

The conference is composed of two separate sessions. The first one focuses on cross-border co-operation and its role within the EU cohesion policy. The objective is to present to the political decision making level that the support of cross-border co-operation played and still plays a significant role in the development of European border regions. Nevertheless the obstacles and disadvantageous conditions for the development of these regions that are given by their peripheral position within their states still haven’t been overcome. The future form of the cohesion policy should include a strengthened support of cross-border co-operation. This will be supported by analytical examples of Czech border regions.
Second session is more detailed and focuses on the use of EGTC in cross-border co-operation as one specific tool. A political roundtabel will discuss the use of EGTC in the management of future cross-border co-oparation programmes. It will be followed by exchange of experience with first cross-border EGTCs. All the participants will be invited also invited for the Concert of the Europera Orchestra that evening.
