"Cross-border cooperation is one of the most important means of creating a united, extended Europe, without any division lines. An important role is also played in this by the Joint Operational Programme, the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument and the 2007-2012 Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Romania-Ukraine-Moldova, which has more than EUR 126 million available.
As an EU Member State, Romania is helping to implement this programme in collaboration with two countries in the Eastern Partnership. This allows funding to be provided for concrete measures aimed at achieving the objectives of the European neighbourhood policy. The implementation of the programme, which is still a very difficult process, is facilitated by the entry into force this year of the local border traffic agreement between Romania and the Republic of Moldova. The same facilities could be established via a similar agreement between Romania and Ukraine.
In addition, the progress made in managing the eastern border is helping Romania prepare for its imminent accession to the Schengen area. Last but not least, the Danube Strategy currently being drafted by the EU may give new impetus to cross-border cooperation with the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. This is an example of how regional policy and foreign policy can complement each other perfectly and always yield positive results."@en1
