Factsheets with examples illustrating the use of the European Cross-Border Convention

Following the proposal of the Luxembourg Presidency of the Council the working group on innovative solutions to cross-border obstacles started its activities in the beginning of 2016. CESCI played an active role in this work ever since. In June 2017 the working group handed its recommendation on the implementation of a new legal tool to the European Commission. This tool, the European Cross-Border Convention (ECBC), would allow for applying the neighbouring country’s legislation with temporal and territorial restrictions in the cross-border region in order to find a solution for a particular local problem. CESCI submitted relevant remarks concerning the prepared background materials as well as developed two case-studies (Cross-border regional public transport + Cross-border retail of local products).
