Amongst these Initiatives were the INTERREG, launched in 1990, with the goal of preparing European border areas for a Community without internal borders.

Even so, and despite supporting cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperationInterregional cooperation processes since 2000, financial support for European Territorial CooperationTerritorial cooperation programmes has always been kept below the 3% of the total financial package dedicated to EU Cohesion Policy. In this context, this chapter synthetically discusses the role and main effects of the European Territorial CooperationTerritorial cooperation process over the last 27 years, and why it should be given a more important and central role for a post-2020 EU Cohesion PolicyEu cohesion policy.
