Launched by the European Committee of the Regions, the European platform that succeeds the EGTC platforms aims to “bring together all actors in cross-border cooperation, from border towns and regions to EGTCs and Euroregions.” The objective is to provide a common space for cross-border actors at the European level to enable them to exchange on their common needs, engage in dialogue with EU institutions, highlight the problems encountered, and seek solutions at the European level.

The MOT is part of its Steering Committee alongside ARFE and CESCI.
