"The Regulation on the European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation has undergone many amendments in the debates on the package of cohesion legislation. Understandably, this is a new-generation legal instrument that can support the initiatives for regional cross–border partnerships that are restricted by the diverse nature of national legislations.
However, the final answer to the question as to whether this is an appropriate way to stimulate geographical cohesion can only be delivered by practical experience. The answer will depend on the circumstances in the individual countries. Do they have a central or federal system of government? Are they large or small? Have they been involved in partnership over many years or are they only just beginning cross–border cooperation?
The new groupings introduced by the Regulation will in all probability be built around areas of specific common concern. Their advantage, in comparison with previous cross–border partnership arrangements, is that they raise the stakes where the implementation of mandatory legislation is concerned, thereby increasing the degree of responsibility of partnership bodies, and at the same time tightening up the area of financial responsibility for the management of common resources.
We have reason to believe that supplementary budgetary resources will make an important contribution to the territorial cohesion of the European Union."@en1
