Obstacles continue to exist
Lack of trust Language barriers Accessibility and connectivity Administrative obstacles Legislative obstacles Non-recognition of qualifications Higher costs of living Untapped Economic potential Unequal treatment of patients Denial of public services
37.5 % of EU citizens live in border areas

European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC)
The EGTC is the first European cooperation structure with a legal personality defined by European Law
designed to facilitate and promote territorial cooperation (cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation), in view of strengthening the economic and social cohesion of the European territory.
An EGTC may carry out actions of territorial cooperation, with or without a financial contribution from the EU
Public entities, or entities carrying out services of public interest can form an EGTC
Third countries can join

The EGTC is created by local actors, not by Member States. Only one Member States needs to approve the EGTC, within 6 months!
The EGTC Regulation is very flexible and vague, allowing the local and regional authorities to adapt it as needed in their Member States
Benefits
Permanence and stability
Long-term strategic vision of the region
Less administration
Encouraged by the EU to be the beneficiaries and manager of EU funds
Legislation of only one MS applies
