National Seminar on European Territorial Cooperation in Besançon
December 2018
The CGET and the “Régions de France” association held, with the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Regional Council, a national seminar on European Territorial Cooperation (ETC), on 4 December in Besançon. It brought together around a hundred participants and enabled clarification of the stakes of the negotiation, while reaffirming a strong French ambition, shared by both the French State and the Regions.
The Commission’s representative underlined that beyond the financing of projects, Interreg programmes were intended to support cross-border strategies, such as that of the CTJ, and be mobilised to remove obstacles; the new priority “Interreg Governance” must contribute to this, for example via the funding of pilot projects. The president of the MOT, Robert Hermann, participated in one of the three round tables.
