Abstract

Since regulation 1082/2006 which created the figure of the European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) came into force, nine EGTC have been formally constituted within the EU and four of them count on the participation of Spanish territorial authorities. Taking into account the context in which the EGTC are created within the new framework of the new cohesion policy of the EU and the new financial perspectives, this article aims to analyse the different EGTC which have been formally constituted or which are in process of constitution with participation of Spanish regional and local authorities. Even if it is true that there are common aspects to all of them, each of them has certain characteristics linked to its own composition and objectives.
