THE PURPOSE OF AN EGTC
According to the European Commission’s “REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL The application of the Regulation (EC) No 1082/2006 on a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) “, COM(2011) 462 final, the purpose of the EGTC Instrument is as follows:
“Member States and, in particular, regional and local authorities encountered significant difficulties when trying to implement programmes for territorial cooperation because of differing national laws and procedures and the increase in the number of land and maritime borders in the Community following its enlargements of 2004 and 2007.
Existing instruments on cooperation within the European Union, such as the European economic interest grouping (EEIG), are primarily aimed at cooperation between economic operators rather than public authorities. In addition, the structures proposed by the Council of Europe for regional and local authorities to cooperate across borders were not endorsed throughout the whole European Union. In this context, the EGTC was created at European level as a legal instrument which contributes to territorial cooperation across national borders by providing a directly applicable and lasting European basis for actions. All Member States implement the EGTC Regulation in full. The establishment of an EGTC is optional and the EGTC Regulation does not prevent any institution from freely choosing other forms or formulas for territorial cooperation, with or without legal personality. The EGTC was developed to make territorial cooperation more strategic but – at the same time – more flexible and simple. An EGTC should reduce the difficulties encountered by Member States and, in particular, by regional and local authorities in implementing and managing cooperation activities in the context of differing national laws and procedures.”

Port of Rotterdam Authority
The Port of Rotterdam Authority is very happy to continue the cooperation with current and new partners in the EGTC Rhine-Alpine. Local and regional cooperation is very important and necessary in order to keep – and improve one of the busiest corridors in Europe functioning. It’s not just the ship arriving in a seaport, but even more important are effective and sustainable hinterland connections and dialogue with European citizens. Transporting goods and adding to European value doesn’t stop at country borders and therefore cooperation is a key success factor.

Provincie Gelderland
Gelderland is in between the metropolitan areas Randstad Holland in the Netherlands and the Rhine-Ruhr area in Germany and on the lower parts of the Rhine. Key issues are transport and logistics, economic opportunities, environmental issues connected with this, our fantastic nature, but also the permanent risk of flooding. And it all needs an integrated policy approach. Together with other authorities in the Rhine-Alpine Corridor we will work on common developments, projects and on European strategies that benefit our inhabitants.
-
Provincie Zuid-Holland
The Province of Zuid-Holland is an important economic region in the Netherlands with 3.5 million inhabitants, two main cities Rotterdam and Den Haag, Greenports and the Port of Rotterdam. This port is the largest in Europe and therefore important not only for the Netherlands, but for the whole of Europe. Zuid-Holland has a key position in three TEN-T corridors, including the Rhine-Alpine corridor. Cooperation with the members of the EGTC is self-evident!
-
Venlo
As a Dutch region, bordering the German Land of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Venlo Region forms the central link between the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp and the German Ruhr area. The region focuses on road, water and rail transport and innovative and sustainable solutions on the TEN-T corridor. By joining the EGTC and actively participating in projects and developments, the Venlo region will contribute to strengthening the TEN-T transport network Rhine-Alpine.

To achieve this goal, the city of Mainz focusses especially on innovative and sustainable solutions within the environmental compound system.
-
Regionalverband FrankfurtRheinMain
All regions and municipalities along the Corridor benefit from the Corridor’s strengths and are affected by the Corridor’s impacts. As a result these specific regional and local interests do not per se coincide with those pursed by rail operators and national governments. The EGTC offers a platform where the regional and local stakeholders’ voice will be better heard at European and national level and through the bundling of actors who share similar interests. Common statements on corridor relevant issues is one essential option.
-
Verband Region Rhein-Neckar
The Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region is centrally located within the Rhine-Alpine Corridor. Our region is characterized by important transport infrastructure on rail, road and waterways as well as by a dynamic logistics sector. The future development of the Corridor is thus of vital interest for our region. We emphasize the need for close cooperation and a coordinated way of realizing the joint interests of the regional and local actors in the Corridor; the EGTC is the adequate form for achieving this.

Stadt Karlsruhe

Regione Liguria
The regional infrastructural system is crucial at Italian and European levels. Liguria and its maritime ports have represented the Mediterranean gateway to Europe for freight and passenger transport over the centuries. At present, the territory continues to play a key role in the Mediterranean Basin and in the Trans-European Transport Network, as important core and comprehensive urban nodes and infrastructures are located in Liguria: the urban nodes of Genoa, La Spezia and Savona-Vado are part of the European network; the airport of Genoa, the maritime ports of Genoa and La Spezia and the rail-road terminal of Vado are included in the European core network; the port of Savona-Vado is in the comprehensive network. In this context, Liguria Region aims to improve the infrastructural system and the transport sustainability, in order to increase the regional economic development. As a result, Liguria Region participates actively to the EGTC initiative as it represents an opportunity and is coherent with the regional economic development and infrastructure strategies.
-
Regione Lombardia
The great number of logistics settlements and freight operators, the necessity of efficient network of connections along the whole North-South corridor Rotterdam-Genoa, the goal to ensure dynamic commercial exchanges by improving the infrastructural system, inside and outside the regional borders, all these factors have already led to cooperate with the neighbouring countries to share freight transport policies. Becoming a member of EGTC Rhine-Alpine for Regione Lombardia is a good opportunity to enlarge the cooperation on European stage and to go further in attractiveness, accessibility and economic development.
