TO ALL EUROGI MEMBERS:

All countries in Europe, with exception to Iceland and Ireland, have boundaries with other countries. Some have a few, whilst others such as Germany have nine friendly neighbours.

The need for cross-border activities is evident especially during floods such as in the summer 2002. Another example of cross border activity is that of the Saar-Lor-Lux region, as well as parts of The Netherlands that works closely with the German State, North Rhine Westphalia (close to where EUROGI secretariat has its offices).

Cross-border activities are very beneficial.

The EUROGI ExCom discussed that it would be a good idea to develop a database of existing cross-border activities, making it possible to promote them more.

That is why we ask your co-operation in compiling information on various cross border activity in your country. It would also give a clear picture of the needs of society regarding cross boundary activities.

You are kindly requested to complete the information on the next pages (and below) to the best of your association’s ability: (please fill out as many or as few projects as possible)
