Experiences of Approval Authorities of the Republic of Slovenia concerning approval of member’s participation

in EGTC


[email protected]

CLEAR VISION OF THE PURPOSE OF EGTC 1/10

poorly defined strategy, goals and performance targets of EGTC

definition of general and specific tasks of EGTC no clear vision of the reason for establishing EGTC clear understanding of their interests and specific goals

in border area.


[email protected]

EGTC AS A HIGER LEVEL OF COOPERATION 2/10

members jump into EGTC as a form of cross border cooperation without past cooperation at lower lever of formalization

it is evidently far more successful when future members cooperate before establishing EGTC

certain degree of confidence into each other and experience in cross border cooperation


[email protected]

THE SCALE OF EGTC TASKS 3/10

narrow interpretation of Regulation (EC) No. 1082/2006: EGTC carries out projects but cannot be managing authority of the operational programs (OP) under the European territorial cooperation framework

that position will probably not change for the next Multiannual financial framework (MFF, formerly ‘financial perspectives’) of the EU due to the cohesion implementation framework in Slovenia


[email protected]

INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE EGTC 4/10

EGTC members attend to agree on very complex institutional structure with too many bodies

the length of their mandates varies from body to body etc.

the complex institutional structure of EGTC: slow decision making process and transparency.


[email protected]

OBSTACLES FOR MEMBERSHIP 5/10

The members of the EGTC : government municipalities and bodies governed by public law

i.e. financed, for the most part, by the State or local authority subject to management supervision by those bodies (private

partners in public – private partnership)


[email protected]

SIMPLIFICATION OF APPROVAL PROCEDURE 6/10

in case when new member joining EGTC the other Slovenian members are not required to apply once more

poor translations of convention and statutes of the EGTC (ambiguity)


[email protected]

COOPERATION BETWEEN MEMBERS AND APPROVAL AUTHORITIES 7/10

the need for consultation between the authorities responsible for issuing approvals and future members of the EGTC future EGTC members can facilitate the approval process potential non-compliance of founding acts with Regulation (EC)

No. 1082/2006 and national legislation can be avoided


[email protected]

THE REGISTER OF THE EGTC 8/10

• Slovenia has no official register of EGTCs– small number of municipalities is involved – no EGTCs is registered in Slovenia


[email protected]

THIRD COUNTRIES MEMBERS OF EGTC 9/10

EGTC Regulation 1302/2013/EC resolves situation where third country and EU member share a common land border

Slovenia has no such border


[email protected]

TACITUS APPROVAL 10/10

the approval process adheres to the General Administrative Procedure Act, which provides time framework of administrative action (3 months), but a prerequisite for it is a complete application
