ALCOTraité: a new project to support the French-Italian CCF

Selected within the framework of the 2021-2027 specific objective "Better governance of cooperation" (ISO1), this project has been drawn up as an official contribution by the Regions and, more broadly, the territories on the border, to the work of the Franco-Italian CCF. Read our article.

Over a two-year period, it will identify and prioritize the main obstacles to cooperation on the French-Italian border, and work out solutions to resolve them.

The aim of the kick-off meeting was to identify other approaches from which the partnership could draw inspiration (notably via the MOT's experience with the inventory of obstacles at the Franco-Belgian border; its participation in the Franco-German CCT; its expertise and involvement in the ECBM and B-solutions initiatives), but also by finding synergies with other initiatives, notably the following new "Governance" projects:

• 1. The "MarittimoTraité" project: the equivalent of the Alcotraité project for maritime borders and island territories, supported by the Interreg France-Italy Maritime program.
• 2. The "ProSATIF-GO" project, which will focus on drawing up a joint legislative proposal on patients' rights, data confidentiality, access to medical records, and the administrative, legal, economic and health aspects of cross-border mobility.
• 3. The "Observ'Alp" project, in which the MOT is participating, to create a joint cross-border observatory for the Southern Alps.

The Alcotraité project also includes three thematic working groups (on cross-border mobility, health cooperation and environmental issues), public consultations, territorial workshops with local border stakeholders, and events to raise public awareness... All in all, a very busy two years ahead for the project partners!
