ITEM. (2024). Dossier 2: Proposal for an EU Regulation ‘Facilitating cross-border solutions’ – Cross-Border effects across European cross-border regions (ITEMTEIN joint study)

Absztrakt

The European Union and the integration process aim to promote a unified Europe with a single internal market, ensuring an increased flow of goods, services, people and capital. In this process, border regions, which are the true laboratories of European integration, play a key role. These regions are the most exposed to border limitations due to differences in national legislations resulting in legal and administrative obstacles. These obstacles generate significant and multivalent limitations for the cross-border flow of people and businesses, potentially undermining integration and single market efforts in the long term.
