摘要：European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) is European legal form that
can be established under the Regulation (EC) No. 1082/2006 on a European Grouping of
Territorial Cooperation. This measure is a part of the European Union’s Cohesion Policy,
which aims to gradually reduce regional disparities and promote economic, social and
territorial cohesion. EGTC supports and facilitates the formalized cross-border cooperation
between Member States of the European Union, as well as their regional and local public
authorities. Cross-border cooperation, which is a part of the Cohesion Policy, focuses mainly
on border regions, whose weakness is their periphery location. In connection with the
creation of the EGTCs, Member States may adopt measures to support this legal form by
their national legislation and practice. The aim of the article is to present EGTC in terms of
the European material and formal sources of law that have prompted the emergence of this
legal form and govern the conditions for its establishment. EGTCs have the predisposition
to carry out various activities related to cross-border cooperation. The European legal
framework allows the use of EGTCs as entities for implementation of cross-border public
procurement.
