b-solutions, the Eurodistrict Strasbourg-Ortenau and the #EmissionsControl: a successful story

The Advice Case submitted by the Eurodistrict Strasbourg-Ortenau EGTC was consulted by Mr Michael Frey, who proposed legal solutions to tackle the existing obstacles limiting the movement of cars across the French-German border.

Ms Lioba Markl-Hummel from the Eurodistrict shared with us some comments on the initiative.

"b-solutions was a very precious support. Having a written version of the context and of the legal basis, validated by an expert, helped proving the seriousness of our analysis and pushed forward discussions on the topic, even in other cross-border institutions like the Upper Rhine Council. The initiative had a direct and positive impact on the cooperation with our neighbours and we are convinced that parts of the recommendations will be realized. Furthermore, the expert's analysis is a neutral one and it brings juristic expertise and a much higher visibility and recognition of the results. We definitely suggest other organizations and administrative bodies to take part in the next b-solutions’ calls for proposals."
