The next in line meeting of European Groupings for Territorial Cooperation (EGTCs) to which Hungary is participating, was held on 18-19 November 2015.

All three presenters are associates of the Széchenyi Programme Office. As established during the session, in the case of all 3 programmes, the first calls are due in the first quarter of 2016. The programme that made the most progress during the workshop was the Croatian one, its expected launch being the end of December 2015. The developments in the Slovak border area can only be launched after the meeting of its Monitoring Committee planned mid-December, whereas Brussel’s final approval for the Romanian programme is still pending. However, according to preliminary information, it can be expected within 2-3 weeks.

Functional analysis and evaluation of planned cross-border public road infrastructural developments in the Hungarian-Slovak border region (HU)
CESCI and Főmterv Zrt. submitted a bid to the call published by the Hungarian Transport Development Coordination Centre (KKK) (financed by the Transport Development Operational Programme) for the evaluation of the planned Hungarian-Slovak border crossings. Based on the successful tender, the consortium prepared the functional analysis of cross-border public roads planned to be constructed on the Hungarian-Slovak border between 2014 and 2020. The importance of the analysis is given by the fact that specific cross-border development projects can only be implemented from EU funds based on this document.
