New Interreg III C North Zone-Brochure reports on showcase BEPART

By: Chr. Diensberg

Cooperation between regions is a core dimension of the European “added value” concept, and to make it a reality requires action at many levels. The EU can inject an economic stimulus from the top, but implementing and maintaining the results is essential for individuals and authorities in the regions themselves to collaborate closely.
BEPART is one example in the Baltic Sea Region which exemplifies the chances of interregional cooperation, sustained by historical ties, common values and belief into the future – and into worldwide cooperation as well. Integration and openness have always been the cultural fuel of this ‘Hanseatic Area’. This is also shown by other project-cases which gain support and funds by Interreg III C North – in areas as entrepreneurship, transport, water management and maritime safety: challenges that require a focused and integrated approach across national boundaries.
