Black SeaEuroregion Open to Membership

30.07.2008 - Territorial authorities taking part in the Black Sea Euroregion initiative will meet in Varna (Bulgaria) on 26 September 2008.

The Black Sea Euroregion will be a platform for co-operation complementary to existing national intergovernmental co-operation initiatives, acting in the remit of regional and municipal competencies. Once established, the Black Sea Euroregion will serve as a launching pad for multilateral initiatives using existing national, European and international financial instruments. The Euroregion will take the shape of a non-profit association designed to facilitate inter-regional and inter-municipal co-operation in the Black Sea basin.

At the close of the Varna Conference, the Euroregion’s potential partners – territorial authorities of the Black Sea area – will be able to choose to sign either the declaration of interest in becoming member of the Euroregion, or directly the Constituent Act and Statutes of the Euroregion. In the latter case, it will be necessary for territorial authorities to comply with the authorisations required in their country. They will also have to provide a written document confirming the authority’s acceptance of membership, its approval of the Constituent Act and Statutes, and the name of their representative authorised to sign these two legal documents.

Additional information on the programme and contact information for regions and municipalities interested in participating will soon be available online.
