Happy #EuropeDay! Today, 9th of May, we celebrate Europe Day – an occasion to honor cooperation as a central element of building the European common space.
👉 As part of the #Interreg community and #EU cohesion policy, the Interreg NEXT Romania-Ukraine programme and #BRCTSuceava as Joint Secretariat, continue to promote cross-border cooperation and sustainable development.
And yet, what is the European Territorial #Cooperation?
▶ Cooperation between countries is called #crossborder cooperation, #transnational cooperation or #interregional cooperation and is supported by instruments created and financed by the European Union, called cooperation programmes.
▶ Cooperation can be between European Union member states, at #internal borders, such as: Romania-Bulgaria, Romania-Hungary, Spain-Portugal, Croatia-Italy etc., or with neighboring countries at #external borders of the EU, as is the case of cross-border cooperation between Romania-Ukraine, Romania-Republic of Moldova, Romania-Serbia, Hungary-Slovakia-Romania-Ukraine, Poland-Ukraine, etc.
▶These types of European cooperation are called Interreg, Interreg IPA or Interreg NEXT, associated with the technical title of the programme, and make all those involved in cross-border cooperation part of the large #Interregfamily.
