This takes the form of projects in which these authorities are invited to develop the competitiveness and sustainable growth potential of the programme area’s maritime and non maritime assets through building and advancing partnerships of cross border cooperation. In line with the Community Strategic Guidelines for Cohesion Policy 2007-2013, the programme aims to contribute to the Union's strategy for growth and jobs. The programme is structured around three thematic priorities plus one common priority with the Channel France-England OP : Priority 1 aims at supporting an economically competitive, attractive and accessible area, focusing mainly on the sub-themes common economic activities, including the maritime economy, innovation and research, sustainable tourism, entrepreneurship, employment and human capital and accessibility. Priority 2 aims at promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy environment, focusing mainly on integrated coastal zone management, maritime resource management and the management of estuaries, natural, technological and human risks, energy efficiency and renewable energies, nature and landscape, including natural heritage, water management, waste management and sustainable use of resources. Priority 3 aims at improving quality of life, focusing mainly on social inclusion and well-being of different groups in society, services to the population, including mobility and health care facilities, education, training and lifelong learning, the common heritage and cultural assets, as well as active recreation. Priority 4 aims at promoting joints actions with the actors eligible in the Channel France- England OP, focusing mainly on issues of common interest notably related to the maritime dimension from a cross-border perspective, the exchange of good practice and networking activities between projects implemented under both OPs. This Operational Programme supports two different types of cooperation projects in order to address the different needs and challenges of the target groups in the programme area: Firstly, it supports regular Cross-border cooperation projects that bring together actors from different countries in the programme zone, working together to develop or solve a shared cross-border issue (bottom- up approach). Secondly, it supports Strategic cross-border cooperation projects identified by the programme bodies, such as the programme Monitoring Committee and the national and regional level actors represented in

  • Interreg Europe Programme Manual
    Sharing solutions for European Union | European Regional Development Fund better regional policies Interreg Europe Programme Manual 24 February 2021 (version 9) 1 How to use this publication This programme manual is designed to accompany those involved in all aspects of the programme implementation, from applicants through to project partners, financial managers and controllers. It is organised around in three main parts: one on the programme in general and two covering the two actions the programme supports – Policy Learning Platform and projects. It is designed to have a clear structure, key phrases are in bold, and further definitions may be provided in footnotes. Throughout the publication, examples, definitions or case studies are presented in grey boxes. The document is complete without reading these grey boxes, however they provide very useful context, explanation or demonstrations. They should aid the readers understanding of key points. The Interreg Europe website has a comprehensive glossary should any terms not be understood: http://www.interregeurope.eu/help/glossary/ Note for project applicants Applicants should read the entire manual carefully, as relevant and useful information for preparing a relevant project is provided throughout. As a guide, however, the information in part A will help you decide if the programme is right for your needs, in terms of who can apply for funding, which topics of cooperation are supported, what the programme expects to change and so on. Section C follows the project cycle, from its development through the application process to implementation. While sections 4 and 5 are specifically dedicated to project development, the information provided in the rest of the document is also crucial for the preparation of a good application.

  • Europa Konkret: INTERREG-Projekte Im Alpenraum Am Beispiel Liechtensteins
    Christian Frommelt Europa konkret: INTERREG-Projekte im Alpenraum am Beispiel Liechtensteins Im Zuge von Europäisierung und politischer Integration verliert das Territorialprinzip zunehmend an Bedeutung.1 Dies gilt insbesondere mit Blick auf die Nationalstaaten, während die „Konkurrenz innerhalb staatlicher Territorien sowie innerhalb Europas […] zugenommen hat“.2 In diesem funktionalen Transformationsprozess gewinnt die grenz- übergreifende Zusammenarbeit zwischen den europäischen Regionen an Bedeutung, „um dadurch Wettbewerbsvorteile zu erarbeiten und attraktive Standortvorteile zu schaffen“.3 Die damit einhergehende Verankerung des Subsidiaritätsprinzips führt ferner zu einer Stärkung der Effektivität und Legitimation von Multi-Level-Governance. Der Diskurs über ein „Europa der Regionen“ hat die Regionalpolitik als festen Bestandteil europäischer Politik etabliert. So verfügt die Europäische Union (EU) über diverse Programme, welche die Konver- genz und Solidarität zwischen den Regionen Europas ebenso stärken sollen wie die regionale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Eines dieser Instru- mente ist die Europäische Gemeinschaftsinitiative INTERREG, welche 1989 durch die Europäische Kommission initiiert wurde, um den wirt- schaftlichen und sozialen Zusammenhalt in der EU zu stärken und zu verhindern, dass „Entwicklungsunterschiede zwischen den verschiede- nen Teilräumen der Grenzregionen ein Hindernis für die Umsetzung dieser Ziele darstellen“.4 Die Initiative wurde im Rahmen von drei Durchführungszeiträumen umgesetzt (INTERREG I: 1990-1993; INTER-

  • Co-Operation Across the Swiss-German Border
    Briefing Note Co-Operation Across the Swiss-German Border January 2018 1 Introduction1 Co-operation between Switzerland and its EU-neighbour states is framed by bilateral agreements with both the EU as a whole, and individual states such as Germany. Switzerland’s membership of the Schengen Area enables people to cross from one state to another without having to pass through passport controls at the border. Nevertheless, different duties and limits on the import of goods requiring customs controls, different administrative systems, and the usage of different currencies and taxes all of which impact on cross-border movement are some examples of the different facets of the borders between Switzerland and its EU neighbours. Bilateral agreements between the EU and Switzerland reduce the effect of non-membership. The freedoms of the European internal market and the bilateral agreements between Switzerland and the EU are to some extent slowly removing the border’s ability to represent an obstacle to cross-border mobility and co-operation, but differences in the legal and administrative systems, mentalities and cultural preferences persist. In view of this, many different approaches are used to establish, encourage and simplify cross-border collaboration. These can be discerned at different levels and with respect to various subject areas. The following provides an overview of the institutional framework for co-operation established at various levels. The paper begins with a discussion of multi-level governance in the Upper Rhine region, before placing this within the regional and local contexts, and highlighting the environment for concrete projects that form part of Switzerland's participation in the EU’s INTERREG programme.
