EGTC

The European Group of Territorial Cooperation – EGTC is a European cooperation structure with legal personality. It has been introduced by the Regulation (EC) n°1082/2006 with the aim of realizing actions of territorial cooperation between national, regional and local authorities and other public-law bodies belonging to at least two different member states of the European Union.
Following the approval of the Community Law 2008, trough which the State gives execution to the EC Regulation, the Region of Veneto applied the legal instrument of the EGTC and established the “Euregio without Borders” with the Italian Region Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Austrian Land Carinthia.
With the governmental authorization DPCM of the 13th July 2012, followed by the regional law n°41 of the 12th October 2012, the participation of the Region Veneto to the EGTC has been formalized. The three partner regions have signed the Constitutive Act of the EGTC “Euregio Senza Confini r.l.-Euregio Ohne Grenzen mbH" in Venice the 27th November 2012.
Subsequently, the EGTC “Euregio without Borders” has been registered at the n°4 of the National Register of EGTCs, at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, acquiring this way legal personality in public law, and at n°33 of the EGTC Register of the Committee of Regions.

The Assembly has as well assigned the role of Director ad interim to Dr. Dieter Platzer, Secretary General of the Land Carinthia, and confirmed the Technical Group, constituted by the Directors and the officials of the three regions, that will work in support to the EGTC. In order to guarantee the maximum equality among the members, the President is from Region Veneto, the Director from the Land Carinthia and the head office is in Trieste, in Friuli Venezia Giulia

In particular, it has been confirmed Dr. Dieter Platzer from the Land Carinthia in his role as Director of the EGTC; moreover three permanent members (including the Friulian member as Chairman) and two substitute members were named in the Board of Auditors.
The agenda also provided for an indication of the first guidelines for EGTC’s future activities, starting from 2014, which will affect the primary areas already identified by the Statute, such as energy and environmental resources, waste management; transport, infrastructure and logistics; culture, sport, education and higher education; social-health care; civil protection; science, research, innovation and technology.
