Introduction
What is an EGTC?
European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation.
A new opportunity for municipalities, regions and states to establish cross-border, transnational or interregional cooperation with similar players of another member state and to fulfil their common objectives this way.
Its aim is discrimination lessness: the local players get the same opportunities within the borders and across the borders.
EGTC is the first legal instrument of the European Union that provides legal personality and frame to the cooperation of European municipalities and regions and the efficient use of Union grants.
The grouping brings the players of at least two-member states (municipalities, regional authorities or the state) into a joint organisation. The legal conditions of the grouping are governed by the law of the state where the centre is located. EGTC has legal personality and full legal capacity, may act as an independent legal subject. The grouping has its own budget, organisation and contracting capacity, may acquire mobile or immobile properties, act before a court.
The members elect the chief executive and set up the public assembly consisting of the representatives of the members jointly.
