An initiative has been launched to establish a legal framework for all member states to help find solutions for EU cross-border regions – solutions to overcome legal and administrative obstacles.

Following the European Parliament's and European Committee of the Regions' recent calls for the European Commission to propose a new or an amended version of the European Cross-Border Mechanism Regulation, the European Commission has confirmed working on the new proposal.

The European Commission asks all border regions, EGTCs, Euroregions and others interested to send evidence of cross-border legal and administrative obstacles to help them in this process.

Anyone who is interested in or may be affected by an existing or proposed law or policy can share their views, by submitting comments or position papers or by responding to public consultations. This includes: public national, local and regional authorities, businesses, civil society organizations and individual citizens.

The call for evidence is open from 19 October 2023 to.16 November 2023.
