B-solutions: a pilot initiative to tackle border obstacles and difficulties along eu internal land borders
B-solutions is a 2-year long initiative to tackle legal and administrative border obstacles along EU internal borders. It is promoted by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) and managed by the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) as one of the actions proposed in the Communication "Boosting growth and cohesion in EU border regions".
B-solutions consists of two calls for proposals, one opened in early 2018, one in early 2019. Public authorities of border administrations had the chance to submit information about a legal or administrative obstacle they face when implementing projects in a border area. Successful candidates are assigned support from the European Commission to remove the difficulties which hinder cooperation with the neighbouring country.
The results will be published in Autumn 2019, highlighting best practices and replicable solutions which can benefit cross-border cooperation practitioners all over Europe.
