Comparison of fishing rules on border rivers

Advised entity: Mura Region EGTC

​

The Mura river has been for several years the destination of a lively fishing tourism community. However, since the border between Croatia and Hungary runs through the middle of the river, regulations and conservation efforts for the same river differ greatly between each side. Overcoming these differences would greatly improve a coordinated conservation effort as well as increase the attractivity of the leisure area leading to various benefits for the region.

Cicero - Croatia Italy Civil Protection Collaboration

Advised entity: Unione dei comuni pratiarcati

The Union of Pratiarcati Municipalities (Veneto, Italy) and the municipality of Labin, Croatia, aim to collaborate on civil protection through the Interreg CICERO project. Legal barriers prevent local civil protection groups from cross-border interventions, which need national-level activation.

Overcoming this could enhance cooperation, training, and joint responses to emergencies, benefiting both regions' civil protection capabilities.

Effects of German driving ban on Sundays and public holidays in the Netherlands

Advised entity: Rijkswaterstaat Oost-Nederland (RWS ON)

The German driving ban for trucks on Sundays and holidays causes truck overcrowding and illegal parking at borders, especially with the Netherlands, due to a lack of parking. This endangers road safety, results in environmental pollution due to lack of sanitation and increased crime such as robbery and theft.

Finding a solution for the cross-border area between Germany and the Netherlands could optimise parking use, enhance road safety, and support truck drivers better.

Sharing clinical information across borders

Advised entity: AECT-Hospital de Cerdanya / GECT-Hôpital de Cerdagne

Spanish doctors at the EGTC-Hospital of Cerdanya cannot access French patients' medical records because they are not registered with the French Medical Council (Ordre des Médecins). This registration is an administrative requirement for accessing medical records. Resolving this obstacle would benefit the hospital staff and patients by making medical data more accessible and thus medical care more efficient.
