The “framework project priority II“ is aimed at different institutions as for example German and Dutch municipalities, citizens, enterprises, cooperation associations and organisations etc., that wish to initiate and implement small cross-border projects, with the intention to reduce the barrier effect of the border for citizens and institutions. Euregio rhein-maas-nord as coordination point for the entire framework project has the overall responsibility for the content related and administrative implementation of the project. The decision on projects falls as well within its competence as responsible authority. The Steering Committee receives for its meetings an up-to-date overview of the current situation of the framework project.
