Kompetencje władzy wykonawczej wobec Europejskiego Ugrupowania Współpracy Terytorialnej z perspektywy Polski

Abstract

Cross-border cooperation may be based on specialized organizational structures. One such is the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC). The catalogue of entities entitled to create a Grouping is diverse and the registration procedures are mainly based on the law of the European Union Member State, where the particular Grouping’s headquarters are to be located. The Polish legislation on this issue is still being formed, but the tendency to strengthen the influence of the central executive power on the Groupings’establishment, operating and decommissioning processes, is already visible. However, only development (or lack of it, or even a regress) of cross-border cooperation based on the formula of the EGTC will show whether the national legislative solutions will support the operation of Groupings from Poland’s perspective.
