The Committee of the Regions has launched an open call for expression of interest aimed at setting up an Expert Group on EGTC. Local and regional actors are invited to participate in order to share their experiences and learn more about this new legal instrument for territorial cooperation.

Applications must be submitted by 18 June 2007.

The call and the application form are available on www.cor.europa.eu/egtc.htm. For further details, please e-mail to egtc@cor.europa.eu.

The CoR has also published a new study on the EGTC, exploring its legal framework and highlighting the potential for territorial cooperation, which can be downloaded via the same web section.
