Some Legal Aspects of Cross-border Cooperation

Abstract

This chapter looks at some legal aspects of cross-border cooperation. The difference between legal systems and administrative systems represent the biggest challenge for cooperation. Within this field, a major role was played by the Council of Europe which appeared as the main engine of cross-border cooperation and it created the first international convention, the European Outline Convention on Transfrontier Co-operation between Territorial Communities or Authorities in Madrid. Furthermore, the European charter of Local Self-Government has to be mentioned which also played role within the legal aspects of cross-border cooperation.
