Book excerpt: This summary report presents the results of the "Public Consultation on overcoming border obstacles (2020)". The 2020 European Commission's public consultation on overcoming obstacles comes as a follow-up to the "Cross-Border Review" initiative, carried-out in 2015 by the Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO). This has led to the 2017 Communication "Boosting Growth and Cohesion in EU Border regions" (2017 EU Borders' Communication) and has paved the way for the work DG REGIO has conducted on obstacles since then. This includes the setting up of its "Border Focal Point", staffed by a dedicated team working on the implementation of actions to solve/alleviate border obstacles. In the last few years, DG REGIO has drawn attention to the prevailing legal and administrative border obstacles that hamper interactions across border regions and negatively affect citizens from accessing work, education, emergency and health care services, business and public transport. The 2020 public consultation on overcoming border obstacles had a dual purpose. First, to engage in a dialogue with citizens and key stakeholders on cross-border obstacles, in order to obtain a comprehensive overview of the developments since the adoption of the 2017 EU Borders' Communication, and of persisting or new border obstacles. Second, to help formulate constructive recommendations on the future policy and tools to better support cross-border regions. The scope of this survey is to assess the situation in border regions under normal circumstances, i.e., not in pandemic. Therefore, respondents were asked to consider the situation pre-pandemic. However, recognizing the negative impacts of the pandemic the public consultation contains a dedicated section to explore the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on border regions. The findings of the present report will serve as supporting evidence to European policies to continue boosting the improvement of cross-border cooperation in future years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this case study, local spatial planning decisions are used to shed light on the obstacles to cross-border public consultation procedures. The complex features of cross-border entities, sometimes overlapping each other's competences, increase the difficulty to assess the cause, scale and consequences of the obstacles identified. This case study provides evidence that spatial planning is particularly important for cross-border cooperation, since it can provide a way of managing and steering development in a cooperative way, thereby creating a more stable climate for investment and fostering a better quality of life. More specifically, the installation of wind turbines in the municipality of Wervik in Flanders, located at the border of Belgium and France is used as an example to illustrate the complex aspects of cross-border public consultation procedures. An inventory of more than 200 cross-border obstacles between Belgium and France (BE-FR) was published in 2007. Within this long list of obstacles, 14 of them relate to spatial planning issues. The inventory process was steered by a cross-border Task Force made up of 12 members of the two national Parliaments (6 from each country). This initiative led to the creation of a spatial planning coordination platform hosted by the Eurometropolis Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai, which was formed in 2008 as a European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation (EGTC). Despite this major step forward in the spatial planning governance of the BE-FR cross-border area, difficulties have yet to be overcome and many problems remain unresolved, especially with regard to consultation procedures on the installation of wind turbines. While the inventory of cross-border obstacles was updated in 2014, taking into the progress made in different fields including spatial planning, the issues related to wind turbine installations remain. Several solutions to obstacles provide learnings on spatial planning methods while others refer to good governance. These include: Adopting an end-user approach to cross border obstacles; Including 'information-sharing' as the first item on the agenda of each EGTC's meeting; Referencing spatial planning obstacles into a common matrix; Implementing concerted management; Designing an EU compendium of spatial planning tools and practices; Steering the spatial planning process; (Re) establishing good neighbourly relations; Establishing a network of planners as contact points across relevant borders; Coordinating vertical cooperation in spatial planning decisions; Setting common provisions for the implementation of cross border cooperation in the EU.

Book excerpt: The European Commission's online public consultation on overcoming obstacles in border regions was launched on 21 September 2015 and ran for three months until 21 December 2015. It took the form of an online questionnaire that included a mix of closed and open-ended questions, and was available through the EUSurvey tool in 23 EU languages. The survey covered internal European Union border regions as well as border regions between EU countries and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries. It invited EU citizens, organisations, businesses and public authorities in border regions to give their views on obstacles which still remain when interacting across borders, and to suggest solutions for overcoming them. This report summarises and analyses their replies.

Book excerpt: This report is part of the study 'Analysis of Cross-border obstacles between EU Member States and Enlargement Countries'. It is looking to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Interreg IPA programmes and supporting border regions in overcoming challenges due to national borders. The study is a comprehensive review of existing external cross-border obstacles and identifies obstacles that can impact the five Policy Objectives and two Interreg Specific Objectives of the 2021-2027 programming period. The study also offers ideas on how Interreg IPA programmes can address these obstacles in the future. The geographic focus of the study is on the borders between EU Member States and candidate and potential candidate countries. The study builds on an extensive literature analysis, a survey of stakeholders and case studies. This report is the result of a joint analysis of these sources and their triangulation. Annex I details the methodological approach of the study. The core data has been integrated in an inventory of obstacles for cross-border cooperation. This report presents the main findings of the study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU border regions encounter legal and administrative obstacles in their cooperation. Citizens and businesses face unequal access to public services and fewer economic opportunities. COVID has highlighted the urgent need to address the remaining cross-border obstacles and define a long-term vision for unleashing the potential of border regions to become the drivers of European cooperation. The study identifies three policy options: status quo, soft-law measures, and adopting a new instrument (ECBM 2.0). Policy option 3 has the highest potential impact, addressing both legal and administrative obstacles, bringing benefits of €123 billion per year, as well as positive social impacts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills an existing academic literature gap by providing a sound and synthetic analysis on the process of European Territorial Cooperation over the last 30 years. This follows from the support from the former EU INTERREG Community Initiative, since 1989, later transformed into the second main goal of EU Cohesion Policy, by 2007: European Territorial Cooperation - ECT. In order to present the ECT process in a more comprehensive manner, and to be the main literature reference regarding this process in the decades to come, this book is divided into four different sections and 12 chapters. The first section summarizes the main impacts and added-value from ETC experiences while proposing the elevation of the ETC goals within EU Cohesion Policies. The second section addresses the process of cross-border cooperation, and namely its impact in reducing border obstacles and supporting ever growing number of cross-border entities. The third section elaborates on the second most important ETC process (transnational cooperation) with a similar approach. Finally, a last section debates the future scenarios for this process in Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive debate and analysis of existing Territorial Impact Assessment (TIA) methodologies, designed under the auspices of the ESPON programme since the mid-2000s. This is intended to serve as a TIA handbook for the reader, to better understand the main differences, advantages and shortcomings of each presented TIA methodology. It also serves as a manual for professors and students in the field of policy evaluation, and territorial analysis, as it presents concrete examples of the implementation of each TIA methodology, their formulas and intrinsic evaluation elements. The purpose of policy evaluation methodologies is to check the main effects of private and public investments, in order to report back to policymakers and citizens on their efficiency and effectiveness. Over the past decades, both in Europe and worldwide, there has been an increasingly awareness of the need to implement/reinforce policy evaluation practices, at all territorial levels. At the same time, it has become widely accepted that many policy interventions produce impacts in more than one dimensions of territorial development. In this context, the use of a holistic and territorial approach for policy impact assessment evaluation has rapidly been adopted by the European Commission as a mainstream policy evaluation procedure.

This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the gathering of evidence in cross-border investigations in Europe. The issue of obtaining evidence in and from European countries has been among the most debated issues of EU cross-border cooperation in criminal matters over the last two decades, going through periods of intensive discussions and showing an extraordinary adaptability to the evolution of EU legislation for criminal matters. On the other hand, the prosecution and investigations of cross-border cases pose unprecedented challenges in the European scenario, characterized by the increasing flow and activity of citizens over the territory of more than one country and therefore by the need to lay the foundations of a transcultural criminal justice system. The book analyses this complex topic starting with the current perspectives of EU legislation, thus providing a critical analysis of the legislative initiative aimed at introducing a new tool for gathering almost any type of evidence in other Member States, i.e., the European Investigation Order. On a second level, this study deals with the solution models and human rights challenges posed by the increasingly intensive dialogues between domestic and supranational case laws, and formulates essential guidelines for setting up a fair transnational enquiry system in Europe.

Book excerpt: Transforming conflict through social and economic development examines lessons learned from the Northern Ireland and Border Counties conflict transformation process through social and economic development and their consequent impacts and implications for practice and policymaking, with a range of functional recommendations produced for other regions emerging from and seeking to transform violent conflict. It provides, for the first time, a comprehensive assessment of the region’s transformation activity, largely amongst grassroots actors, enabled by a number of specific funding programmes, namely the International Fund for Ireland, Peace I, II and III and INTERREG I, II and IIIA. These programmes have been responsible for a huge increase in grassroots practice which to date has attracted virtually no academic analysis; this book seeks to fill this gap. In focusing on the politics of the socioeconomic activities that underpinned the elite negotiations of the peace process, key theoretical transformation concepts are firstly explored, followed by an examination of the social and economic context of Northern Ireland and the border counties. The three programmes and their impacts are then assessed before considering what policy lessons can be learned and what recommendations can be made for practice. This is underpinned by a range of semi-structured interviews and the author’s own experience as a project promoter through these programmes in the border counties for more than a decade. The book will be essential reading for students, practitioners and policymakers in the fields of peace and conflict studies, conflict transformation, peacebuilding, post-agreement reconstruction and the political economy of conflict and those interested in contemporary developments in the Northern Ireland peace process.

Book excerpt: In the ten years since its coming into force, the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), with almost EUR 7 trillion assets under management in its remit, has become an important piece of European regulation complementing the Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and the Markets in Financial Instruments (MiFI) frameworks. This third edition of the most comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the AIFMD and its related European investment fund legislation (including the European Venture Capital Fund Regulation, the European Social Entrepreneurship Fund Regulation, the European Long-Term Investment Fund Regulation and the European Money Market Fund Regulation among others) brings together fund industry experts, fund supervisors, consultants, lawyers and academics to discuss the content and system of the directive from every angle, including its relation not only to the UCITS and MiFI frameworks but also to pension funds, the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, the Securitization Regulation and the Cross Border Funds Distribution Directive and Regulation, as well as related pieces of tax regulation at the European level. Further, the third edition emphasizes the function of such factors in the financial services value chain as the following: the AIFMD’s approach to robo-advisors; digital asset funds; infrastructure investments in the context of real estate and sustainable investments; risk management; transparency; and impact on alternative investment strategies. Five country reports, focusing on the European Union’s five most important financial centres for alternative investment funds, deal with the potential interactions among the AIFMD and the relevant laws and regulations of France, Germany, Luxembourg, Ireland and The Netherlands. This thoroughly updated edition elaborates on potential difficulties encountered when applying the directive and provides potential solutions to the problems it raises. The book is sure to be warmly welcomed by fund lawyers and consultants, investors and their counsels, fund managers, depositaries, asset managers and administrators, as well as regulators and academics in the field.
