Abstract

The European Union (EU) and its territories depend on increased synergy between cohesion policies and strategies to promote competitiveness, as well as on the development of sectoral policies enabling less-favoured territories to face the challenges of globalization by applying cross-border, transnational and interregional approach. Cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation has already added and continues to create added not only European, political, institutional, economic, but also socio-cultural value. Such an example of cooperation is Eurocity Chaves-Verin, located on both sides of the Spanish-Portuguese border.
